I decided to use it to make a cable knit hat since I have been obsessing about cable knitting lately and also because I thought it would look great in a cable knit. Which it did. I'm really happy with the end result of this hat. The yarn however, did not look as cool as I thought it would. I love it but I thought that it was going to be way cooler than it turned out. Especially on sale for $5.97. That's way more than I usually pay for a skein of yarn. That being said, it's a really cute hat.
Yarn: 1 skein Paton's Delish in Fig
Loom: 43 Pegs
Stitches used: E-wrap knit, purl, cable
Brim:
Rows 1-6: Knit 1, Purl 1, repeat to end of row
Hat Body:
Rows 1-4: Knit 2, purl 1, knit 2, purl 1, repeat for remainder of row
Row 5: Cable (2 pegs), purl 1, knit 2, purl 1, repeat for remainder of row
Rows 5-8: Repeat rows 1-4
Row 9: Knit 2, purl 1, cable (2 pegs), purl 1, repeat for remainder of row
Repeat rows 1-9 (3) more times
Last 2-3 rows: e-wrap knit all pegs
To finish:
Decrease by moving the loop on peg 1 to peg 2, the loop on peg 3 to peg 4 and so on all the way around the loom. I finished with a simple gather.
