Who wouldn’t want a bunny hat with floppy ears! Hopefully the kids at the children’s hospital will love it. This hat design is part of the many hats I’m designing for my Crafting Blessing group. We are making hats for the local children’s hospital and for local kids with hair loss from Alopecia. This hat could be made as shown, or the colors can be changed up to make some really fun bunny hats.
KNIT STITCHES USED: Ewrap knit stitch, Uwrap knit stitch, Purl stitch
SUPPLIES USED
- Loom, hook & yarn needle: 36 peg loom from a basic loom set
- Yarn: 1 strand of #5 chunky – I would suggest using the same type of yarn for inner and outer ear colors to make the inner and outer ears the correct size in relationship to each other:
- Loops & Treads Charisma – White: https://amzn.to/2UVjM0z
- Loops & Treads Charisma – Think Pink: https://amzn.to/2TQe7ss
– For any color you can use 2 strands of #4 worsted weight yarn or 1 strand of #6 super bulky (ears will be very bulky if using a #6 yarn) - Scissors
This is a easy tutorial. This size hat on the 36 peg loom will usually fit ages 2 years old – adults, depending on the length of the hat. The final length of the hat I made in this tutorial was 7.75”, which fits my 5 & 6.5 year olds perfectly. Make it longer or shorter to fit your needs. Note: depending on the yarn you are using and other variables, your length may be different. Measure the hat as you go until desired length. You can use this pattern on any size loom with an even number of pegs. For odd numbered looms, you will have to adjust the pattern. I would suggest ending each K2, P2 row with an extra P1 and each P2, K2 row with an extra K1.
