Time for Crafts: How to Loom Knit A Velvet Hat with Wambui Made It

Today, I am working with some luscious, soft velvet yarn. I demonstrate loom knitting a luxurious velvet hat using velvet yarn. The ROYAL VELVET YARN I USED in the hats I made is here: This is an affiliate link that will take you to Michaels Craft Store - https://go.magik.ly/ml/zo95/ There is only ONE type of stitch used in the entire Hat. Therefore, it is a good beginner project. The stitch that is used is the loom knit E wrap stitch. The Hat is made of a fold-over brim, so we don't have to worry about the Hat rolling up on the ends. The cast-off with the velvet yarn gets a little tricky. The velvet yarn was easy to work with while loom knitting. However, the velvet yarn was not easy to work with during the cast-off. 'Sliding" the velvet yarn through loops was not easy. The yarn was causing friction. Instead of sliding through the loops, the velvet yarn was getting stuck on itself. However, I have come up with what I believe is a perfect solution to this challenge. The answer is this: When the Hat is finished - just before threading the yarn needle for the cast-off, switch out the velvet working yarn to a regular knitting yarn of similar color and weight. The traditional wool or acrylic yard will glide through the velvet loops easily. _____________________ Loom Knitting for Beginners:    • How to Loom Knit for Beginners: Basic Loom...   ____________________ Timestamp 00:00 00:44 - Making the Loop 01:08 - First Row of E Wraps 01:52 - Second Row of E Wraps 02:43 - Bottom Loops Over Top Loops 08:59 - Removing the Loop / Tail Yarn From the Anchor Peg 10:45 - Folding The Brim Over 15:04 - Starting the First Row After the Brim 17:44 - Preparing to Cast the Hat Off the Loom 18:18 - Casting Off 19:26 - Discovering Casting Off Issues with 'Velvet' Yarn 22:03 - Difficulty Closing the top of Hat with 'Velvet' Yarn 24:06 - The 'SOLUTION' to casting off with Velvet Yarn 26:47 - Much Easier Cast Off for Velvet Hat 31:57 - Easier and Smooth Closing of Velvet Hat Top 33:18 - Tying Off and Hiding Loose Yarn and Tails 35:01 - Video End Message from Wambui ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ 📀 🧶 📀 🧶 📀 Beginner Loom Knit DVD: https://tinyurl.com/Loom-Knit-DVD 📀 🧶 📀 🧶 📀 - - - - - - 🔸FONTS and DESIGNS for Crafts: https://www.creativefabrica.com/ref/4... ——————————————— 📖 "You Don’t Know Crazy” by Wambui Bahati: https://tinyurl.com/WambuiBoook-1 ___________________________ 🔸Wambui's Classes on Creative Fabrica: https://www.creativefabrica.com/teach... __________________________ 🎶 Music: https://www.epidemicsound.com/referra... - - - - - - ☕️ Buy me a coffee ☕️: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/wambuiba... ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ 🏠 Wambui’s Home site: http://www.wambui-bahati.com/ #wambuimadeit #wambuibahati
