This cozy loom knit baby bear hat is knit in the round using a 28 peg loom with a gauge of 3/4”, such as the Knitting Board Adjustable Hat Loom.

A 30 or 31 peg round loom with the same gauge will also work. A 26 peg long loom that can be worked in the round is also an option.

The pattern can easily be adapted to fit older children and children at heart of all ages.

The ears are done separately as flat panels and then attached after the hat is complete.

The pattern calls for bulky weight yarn but you can also use two strands of worsted weight as one.

I use Loops & Threads Country Loom in “Shale” because of its fun and fur-like texture and color, but this choice is optional.

Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have! :)
