I'm a beginner to crocheting...I found Melanie's channel by searching beginner crochet and was so happy that I found someone that is a pro at this but at the same time knows how to teach it through video. As I searched through more of Melanie's videos, I came across her husbands video of her life battling cancer. This broke me to tears. I wish her whole family a lot of love and happiness in the future. To her mom and Dad, Thank you for raising such a bright, kind and full of life daughter that will go on teaching her crafts forever. I will continue to watch Melanie's videos so she can teach me many more projects. I lost my brother 15 years ago to cancer, he was 39. I don't know why this happens to good people and I struggle to believe that it is all a part of the big guy's plan, but we have to keep the faith. I have truly prayed for your whole family for forever love and peace. Thank you, Dione
I am a senior citizen and was browsing you tube about loom knitting. I found this channel. I looked for more things that Melanie did online. Incredibly talented. I did not know she had passed away, to young. As I know my mother died when she was 30 and I was 13. I will keep you in my prayers and the whole family. Take care.
My condolences and prayers to her family. She taught me how to make my first flower printed quilt. She was one talented lady. Thankful for the lessons I learned from her.
Just happened to find this today looking for a pattern for loom hats. It made me cry. So very 😢. I hope her family are doing ok but I imagine they are going through a very hard time- her kids are so young-she was so young! You’ve left a beautiful legacy sweet girl, that will live on and keep your beautiful creations going on. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Just want you to know, just found your page because I needed to know how to finish a hat. You’re still helping from heaven. You’re probably up there knitting some of the best things for people! ❤😢
Hi Everyone! It's been almost 6 years since I did a loom knitting video, it's high time we did a new one! Here's a great hat I made... perfect for absolute beginners or even kids! Enjoy!
This is a wonderful tutorial! I have crocheted all my life and wanted badly to also knit, but I just can not get comfortable doing it. I got some knitting looms and found them extremely easy to use. I even taught my 2 kids. It is really nice to find such a great tutorial showing some other techniques! I will definitely come back to this and use it as a guide. I recommend these to everyone. If you do not want to invest in one right away, although the can be found fairly inexpensively, your local library will most likely have a bunch that you can check out! I am in a small town and just found that my library has a ton of different knitting looms to check out. Also, just a fun fact, knitting was originally always done on a loom! Crochet was invented for shepards out in the fields and knitting was done at home on looms! It wasn't until more recent times that knitting started being done on 2 needles. The original portable yarn crafts were Crochet and Nailbinding.
I just found this video the other day and made myself a hat. I was so excited to start learning how to make things when I saw the video about her documentary you were making. I am so sorry for you loss. She seemed liked an incredible person. My heart goes out to you. God bless!:(
Much love to Melanies husband and children 💕 I cried watching this video today 😥 I love Melanies work, so creative and always upbeat and happy. May she live on through her wonderful tutorials as does my subscription to her channel xxx
OMG I wish I can show u my result! This was awesome. It was my first hat using the loom and so convenient. I love how you explained everything! You have changed my crochet life My wife loves her hat! Thank you so much!
Just came across your video and I just wanted to say I think it is so cool of you to spread the story for World Vision and the refugee issues in Syria! Thanks for doing something great with your talent!
thank you for doing this video I'm fairly new to loom knitting I love it. I have figured out a knit stitch the yarn is at the back and a perl is at the front. I've made a hat that I didn't follow any pattern and it's OK I've done 1 leg warmer lol and I've done a baby blanket ( on a straight loom ) for my great niece. I'm currently working on a blanket for my great nephew and a new hat.
This is great. I’ve tried knitting several times and couldn’t master gauge. I’ve never thought about using looms. I’m definitely going to do this. Thanks.
Hi Peggy, I feel the same way! I have been crocheting all my life and I just can not get comfortable knitting! I understand it, I can do it, but it feels so awkward, hurts my hands, goes so slow, and I get lost easily! A couple months ago I got some of these knitting looms and they're wonderful! I spin yarn and taught my older daughter to spin as well. I tried to teach her to crochet but she was having a hard time. These knitting looms are so extremely easy to use! Immediately she was able to make herself a cowl using her first skein of handspun! I am finding great tutorials, like this one, for various techniques. I definitely recommend trying one. Your local library will usually have them to check out too!
I have used this pattern to make several hats for my daughter. I was coming here this morning to comment and thank her, because she’s the ONLY one I can understand and follow. I’m so saddened to hear of her passing. I think I’ll make a few hats and donate them in her honor.
Just made and posted that hat by loomaknit last month. Definitely feels different when your used to hooks and needles but a skill worth giving a shot! Great video.
I never thought i could do this. the yarn and loom area at my craft store is so intimidating. you made this look easy. i may actually try it now! **Edit I had no idea this beautiful soul passed away.
LOVE IT!!! On my 2nd hat, lol. Please make more loom videos. Socks, mittens, blankets, scarves, etc. I would love to learn how to make them on my loom which, for me, is so much easier to maneuver than a crochet hook. Thank you Melanie!!
Thank you so much for this video! Could you do a tutorial on the Boye red rectangular loom? I got it for Christmas and I am not sure what to do with it.
Looking at crotchet and knitting videos today and happened across this one. I really like how well she explains every step of the process, and when reading the comments realized she had passed away over a year ago. Such a sad ending to something I clicked on by chance, I hope she's resting in peace.
This was an awesome tutorial but I'm reading the comments and I see that she died?! God, that's horrible! I suppose it's been a little while since then, but I'm so sad. I hope when someone uses her lessons, she can feel that love and appreciation from where she is now. Craft in paradise.
It's been a while since I've done one of these & I decided to try making one for my boss. I used to do these things once in a while with my mom but since she passed away a few months back I couldn't remember how to do it. But I must've missed something......how do you tie off each end? I'm going strictly knit one.
Next time I go to Michael's I will get my very first yarn loom because I want to make hats and scarves sets for my church and operation Christmas child boxes for the poor children of the world 🌎 amen 🙏
Do you ever make purses? I really enjoy your videos but I haven’t seen one purse making. I would love to see your version of a larger zippered crossbody bag.
it is 41 pegs, i believe. For round 2 and all the ribbing ( brim ) to get the ribbing sequence correct...start with a KNIT, then PURL, continue around K, P, until you get to the last 2 pegs. You have to end the round with the last TWO PEGS MUST BE TWO PURLS in order to start the next round with a KNIT.
I am a beginner and made two hats with the loom. I have 56 peg loom and my hat came out kind of small. Does it matter the distance between the pegs? I want to make hats for kids and adults.
I know it's been a little while but yes the distance does matter! Walmart has the loom kits! I hope you find some I got one from the small one to the big 42 peg!
I know your question is over a year old but just in case someone else comes looking for the solution the answer is to end with 2 purls if your loom has an odd number of pegs.
How many inches for the brim? I can't count the rows, I think I have made an error using my row counter. My brim , as far as can measure is about 2 inches. My ear measures 3 1/2 inches, to use that for a brim measurement. Thanks
This pattern starts out making you think it’s on pegs but then you say 64 stitches, so what exactly are we crocheting or pegging on a loom I’m confused about this pattern, please explain
This is a great tutorial!! I like to use my Addi to make hats for donations, but I think I am going to make a few of these to add to the pile. I hope you have more loom tutorials in the works!😉
really cute :D 💜 even though it´s spring time, I think I have to give my loom another shot (can´t say that we are friends haha) that pearl stitch might be just what I needed...and nice trick to tightening up the start like that!

I am suprised even me a 8 year old can do it!!!!
I am new to looming , would love to see more!

Thank you so much for your help Melanie. I hope you are resting well. Sending lots of love and hugs to your friends and family. 💜
This is awesome!! I have had this loom set for almost 15 years and make hats every year. I have never seen it made like this. Thank you!!!!
wow.. it's good job 🥰🥰
Your wonderful craftsmanship will live on in your videos. 🌹
My favorite thing about RUclips is when an icon RUclipsr like Melanie passes away. we still have her videos to carry on her legacy

Do you think I could make this with a #4 yarn?
@@jessicaduff9230 she said in the beginning of the video, you can double up on 4.
Thank you Melanie for doing a loom video. I look forward to you hopefully making more of them. Baby blankets, regular blankets, etc.
wow.. it's good job 🥰🥰
I will pay homage and make as many as her crochet items that I can and some with my on twist. She is really inspiring. I know she is missed. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Just made and posted that hat by loomaknit last month. Definitely feels different when your used to hooks and needles but a skill worth giving a shot! Great video.

This is very pretty, I'll have to get my loom out, thanks!

R.I.P young lady! I will try this when my kids get older!
This kind of knitting intimidates me but this video makes it look easy. May God keep this lovely person in His memory. ❤️
From 12:01 and up, I learn it and it was so easy! Thank you so much, I’m currently relearning how to loom knit
Thank you for sharing this fun project. Hope you are doing good. Blessings to you and your family and our friends here in RUclips land.
You always make everything look so easy, Melanie!! Love this hat!

I just made it . It’s lovely .
Thank you so much Melanie I always wanted to do a hat with the brand instead of folding it. It becomes too thick and bulky I like this one.
I always wondered how to use a loom! Great tutorial! Very cool! ❤️
I should’ve used a more chunky yarn it looks like a lot more gaps with my thinner yarn . this tutorial is amazing though!! thank you for sharing 😊
I am a beginner at loom knitting. Can the cast on be done in a (Double Ewrap) for this pattern?
Rest in erernal peace & heavens Melanie! 💓
Best to kids & family!
Lovely hat Melanie!

Hi Melanie, thanks for sharing, I have been wanting to try a loom hat
👍💙
Awesome something that is easy,geaz those little instructions books. My attention depi is horrible but followed this thanks 😊

Do you ever make purses? I really enjoy your videos but I haven’t seen one purse making. I would love to see your version of a larger zippered crossbody bag.
Hello how're you doing hope you and your family are safe due to the covid 19 pandemic?
I've never done this before, let alone knit..lol. would this be a good beginner tutorial?
Do you alternate u-wrap knit/purl on pegs, or is it the same all the way around?
Love this am making it right now and it’s going pretty good , can you teach us how to make a scarf and a blanket with the loom 👍🏽 please
wow.. it's good job 🥰🥰
Unfortunately she passed away from cancer in case you weren't aware.
Do you have a tip to count your rounds of stitching?
it is 41 pegs, i believe. For round 2 and all the ribbing ( brim ) to get the ribbing sequence correct...start with a KNIT, then PURL, continue around K, P, until you get to the last 2 pegs. You have to end the round with the last TWO PEGS MUST BE TWO PURLS in order to start the next round with a KNIT.
Was this done on the whole hat? I thought the brim was or looks different from the hat itself
Love it ! I'm starting now
What size does this make ? I’m on the second set of full wraps and it looks way too big for me. I think I should be using 36 pegs?
That is a beautiful hat! Can I use the same pattern to make a matching scarf or would that look weird?
If you're making this hat for someone that's losing their hair due to cancer with this Loom be good or should I use a smaller one?
finally, a video that I don't start yelling at because its too hard
Could I make this hat on a small guage loom using a number 4 yarn instead?
Love it, I would love to learn more
I am a beginner and made two hats with the loom. I have 56 peg loom and my hat came out kind of small. Does it matter the distance between the pegs? I want to make hats for kids and adults.
I know it's been a little while but yes the distance does matter! Walmart has the loom kits! I hope you find some I got one from the small one to the big 42 peg!
Very pretty hat.
OH WOW, THIS IS GREAT.
How long does this take to make? Because my moms birthday is in like 4 days and i need to make it asap so someone pls reply
Help. What to do when the loom is 41 pegs? If I continue to alternate the knit purl stitches, the second row will be different. Any advice?
I know your question is over a year old but just in case someone else comes looking for the solution the answer is to end with 2 purls if your loom has an odd number of pegs.
How many inches for the brim? I can't count the rows, I think I have made an error using my row counter. My brim , as far as can measure is about 2 inches. My ear measures 3 1/2 inches, to use that for a brim measurement. Thanks
I prefer the chain cast-on to limit "loopy" brim.

Can anyone share the written directions if they have them? The link doesn't work. I'm thinking the family removed it after her passing. Thank you.
really cute :D 💜 even though it´s spring time, I think I have to give my loom another shot (can´t say that we are friends haha) that pearl stitch might be just what I needed...and nice trick to tightening up the start like that!
Hello thanks for the hat tutorial
With this work with medium 4 yarn?
is it possible to do the Lotus stitch on a loom?
