Loom Knitting Preemie Toques-hats


Using the circular looms, I just finished making the above baby toques...so sweet...
These looms can be purchased at MichaelsCraftStore..there are 4 in a package..
yellow for large head, green for ladies, red for children and blue for these wee preemie hats.
If you did spool knitting as a kid...this is the same! Enjoy.

Beautiful hats! Was there a pattern included with the looms? I've been looking for a fast and easy pattern to making preemie hats for the hospitals.

there is a book of patterns that can be purchased at Michaels Craft Store. I have never had the time to go that 'extra mile' with the looms. But I know that you can make socks, sweaters etc. with them.

Just an update--I have now knitted hundreds of Preemie hats using both the little peach loom designed for flowers to make micro Preemie hats, and the blue loom for bigger preemies. I have graduated to circular needles also. Thank you for your encouragement!

would like to see a picture of the preemie hats you made!!
Where did you ever find a peach coloured loom?

Going thru old "messages" on this site and see yours from 2009!!
