Cheerful Loom Knit Frosty Hat
I made this hat yesterday for my four year old nephew who said he wanted a "snowman hat" for Christmas. I was really pleased with how it turned out especially, since I had tried some techniques I hadn't done before...vertical stripes, checkered stitches, etc. It took more planning and thought than some of my previous patterns. The final result was worth it and I can't wait to give it to my nephew. I will be designing a matching scarf to go with it so, if you like this pattern, check back for the scarf.

It turned out awesome, as always! He's gonna love it!
Thanks Danielle, Can't wait to give it to him...especially since he asked for it!
Looking for some information when doing the 1st row of black for the snowman hat it say to turn up the 1st row..and to take your time..how exactly is this done? Please explain..thanks
How exactly do you turn up the 1st row of black to make the brim in the snow man's hat?
Hello Unknown, You do it exactly the same way as if you were making a hem or turning up a hat brim at the beginning of the hat. You need to pick up each stitch, one by one, keeping them in line with the pegs so that your brim remains straight. Lift from the rows indicated in the pattern. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bYo4Vnd-fo I hope this helps answer your question.

I have given a couple of my hats away and made some arrangements to make others for cancer patients and children in hospitals in my area. I see so many i would like to try.. especially any superheroes. But i only just begun and still not that great.. I would love to show you the hat i did using your pattern but dont know how to post it.. Thank you for giving us free patterns of such lovely work.. God Bless you.
