This pattern is created by first working the two Row 5: k4 (pegs 8-11)
earflaps on either side of the loom. Without Row 6: inc1, k4 (pegs 12-8)
removing the earflaps, the pattern is then Row 7: k5 (pegs 8-12)
worked like a regular hat. Row 8: k5 (pegs 12-8)
Row 9: inc1, k5 (pegs 7-12)
Colorwork on knitting looms often has a tight Row 10: k6 (pegs 12-7)
tension. Thus, for a better fit, ensure that Row 11: k6 (pegs 7-12)
tension remains loose throughout the Row 12: inc1, k6 (pegs 13-7)
colorwork sections. Row 13: k7 (pegs 7-13)
Row 14: k7 (pegs 13-7)
Mark pegs (1-48) on the loom for ease in Row 15: k7, inc1 (pegs 7-14)
following this pattern. Row 16: k8, (pegs 14-7)
