Hello and welcome back to GoodKnit Kisses.
I'm your host Kristen. And my friends with All Free Knitting.com and I would like to present you
with the decrease and the youth hat loom
which is a 31 peg loom
there are also some new ones with 30 pegs
So actually it makes a little bit easier
What we gonna do is if you can tell
I got it in 5 sections.
1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 of 6 peg.
And this last section is gonna have 7.
So, if you have a 30 peg loom, then just forget about this seventh one.
We are actually not even do anything with it.
It's not gonna really get touched it at all.
So just kind of pretend it's not there.
Let's get started.
So, what we done is we have knitted.
This is my beginning row.
This is a garter stitch patern
with a crochet on edge.
I have got it a 7''
and what you want to do is make sure that you got it at the length that you want,
because the decrease doesn't add that much of length to it.
So, if you are ready to cast off, this is the time to do it.
I might add maybe a half inch, depending upon your gauge.
So, what we gonna do is starting the first section
and we gonna move the two loop over to the one peg, and knit over.
and move to the next section. Move the two to the one and continue all the way around.
And then your are going to...
wrap all the remaining pegs
and then knit off.
And join us back for the next section.
(Silence while knitting)
We have completed the first row where we move the two to the one,
then we wrap and knit off
every peg that was still wrapped.
So the empty ones remain empty.
What we want to do is go to the next section...
I will review the first section and take the four peg and move it to the three.
Pull the four peg off, and go to the three.
Make sure when you are wrapping your pegs to not be too tight.
And otherwise the decrease will be harder.
And go ahead and move all fours over to threes.
And wrap them, all the remaining pegs, and come back.
(Silence while knitting)
Wrap that knit off, wrap that row and knit off.
(Silence while knitting)
Ok, we finished that row. Now we gonna go from the 6 peg over to the 5.
And we are going to wrap those rows after we wrap these pegs.
And knit off.
(Silence while knitting)
So you should have every other peg wrapped,
except for that last seventh one if you the 31 peg loom.
(Silence while knitting)
Oops, I got mine a little bit too tight today.
(Silence while knitting)
Let's just show you what it's looks like.
I've got every other row with the peg
and I've wrapped it
And then this last one which be the seventh in this section has this,
looks like you've got two pegs next to each other.
Go ahead and knit all these off.
And then you gonna do a drawstring cast off
and you will be done.
Ok, so we're ready to do the cast off
on this decrease youth hat
and what we gonna do is wrap around twice
our extra yarn
and cut it off.
We gonna pull this extra yarn through.
And just using one tool.
Pull it in like a purl,
... under, and then pull this through.
See that!
Leave it on there.
Go to the next one.
Grab it, go under. Pull it up, pull it out.
Do this with all the pegs, and come back at the end.
So we have done our last peg,
and now we want to...
to put this one on the beginning peg, that
the original working strand came out of.
You got it?
And now you want to pop all them off.
You can use your tool or your fingers, which ever one is easier for you.
Some are tight.
Sometime the tool is what works better.
I like to get them with the side of my thumb.
It just roll off easier.
By doing this, in a way to create your hat, it end up looking like a beanie.
I'm sorry, like a skull cap.
So you see how it looks like before we drawstring it?
I just start pulling
(Silence)
Okay.
See, you got your flat top here.
Awesome!
And you know add your extra stuff on here.
Pompoms, what ever you want to do.
Dragon scales, (laughing )... anything.
So, thank you again. And if you want to see a video on how to weave in the top of this crown,
weaving in the drawstrings,
there is a video on the GoodKnit Kisses channel.
