Some years ago, I wanted to learn to knit. But I knew that knitting is kind of hard, and I learned that there is such a thing as knitting loom. I kind of remember doing things like this on a smaller scale when I was a child to make a cord. So, I tried it with assistance from YouTube tutorials by many different people.

It was a lot of fun, and a lot of hats were coming out of the knitting look very quickly. In order to make a lot of hats in a hurry to donate to some charities that give hats to babies, I made one every couple of hours.
Then, I decided that I wanted to learn to actually knit as well, using circular needles. Again, I learned a lot from YouTube, and made some knitted hats (on the left row in the photo below). It took a little longer than using the loom, but the change was good. Knitting made a little more delicate-looking hats.
Those light yellow hats were for sisters.
This pale green one was for a friend's baby.
I am sure they have all outgrown those hats, but if they were able to keep them a little bit warmer, than I am happy. :)
Now that it's getting a little colder again, I am thinking I should make another hat in a brightly coloured yarn.
