The LOOMIES are the perfect project if you’ve already knit the Loom Sweater and want to create a matching accessory using your leftovers or single treasures from your stash.
The cap is a companion for the whole day – comfortable to wear indoors as well as outdoors. With its small, modern shape and snug fit, it keeps the ears uncovered. If you prefer your ears covered, you’ll find options to knit it longer.
The headband is a great versatile all-rounder, mainly keeping your ears and forehead warm. I find it works best underneath the hood of a jacket, where a hat would add too much bulk.
