St. Patrick’s Day is soon approaching. Get in touch with your inner leprechaun with this loom knitting leprechaun hat with braids and leprechaun top hat. These hats are super easy to make.

These hat designs are 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. I think the kids will love these designs.

In these tutorials you will learn how to loom knit a girl leprechaun hat with braids and a boy top hat leprechaun on a round loom from start to finish. 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 hats I made in this tutorial was 7.75”, which fits my 5 & 6.5 year olds perfectly. Make them 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.
