Fallout hat for beginners
I'm just learning to number so it' not too pretty. The Vault 13 hat has a rib stitch brim. The body is just a knit stitch and the numbering is purled. I used wool/acrylic blend yarn. The 101 hat is all knit stitch and I pulled up the cast-on round to create a thick brim. I used acrylic blend yarn for that one. Both were made on a Martha Stewart loom with small pegs. I had to be careful to keep the yarn loose on each peg so the hats would fit my husband's giant head.
I used graph paper to plan the pattern while considering the number of pegs used.
