Loom Knit Diamonds in Diamonds Hat
This weeks color work technique is Stranded knitting technique. I wanted to share a free pattern that you can use on any project. You will see how easy it is to work and maybe try other stranded patterns or even create your own!
The Loom knit Diamonds in Diamonds Hat is worked in the round. Typically, stranded knitting is done with wool yarn. I loom knitted the hat with acrylic and blocked it after to there is clear definition of the stitch pattern.
Materials Needed:
KB Premium Round Loom ⅜”
Yarn Lion Brand Pound of Love
Loom Hook
Row Counter
Scissors
Yarn Needle
Techniques Used: Stranded
Gauge: 5 pegs x 8 rows

TIPS: The true knit stitch was used as the knit stitch. For this hat, every row was knitted two times for a larger motif. Pattern will work with knitting one row just once. Yarn Suggestions: Acrylic or wool |
