This super fun slouchy is made using Zippy Looms and the new Zippy Corners. The techniques used were based after my original Punkin’ Head Hats that were released a couple years ago via a Loom-along Video Tutorial. You can refer to this video to see some of the techniques employed, especially for using one peg for two stitches to make a fuller hat on fewer pegs. ;)

Yarn: Wool Ease Thick & Quick (108 yrds per skein), super bulky #6 weight: 1 skein for pumpkin (in color: pumpkin) and 1/5 skein for stem/leaf (in color: cilantro)

Notions: loom tool, 6mm crochet hook (for cast on and help with possible missed stitches, etc), one peg marker to mark first peg (can be tied scrap yarn or rubber band), scissors, yarn needle, row counter.
