      I agree that sewing on the eyes etc is much easier.

      Great, thanks Maureen.  I have been given some wonderful yarn called Snuggle Snowflake and I am just dying to make some simple teddies from it - this pattern will be perfect.

      Hello Mo
      I see that you are looking for a Slip-over (under ) pattern and I wondered if you had seen this one that Jen posted. I made one that was very similar and they are very easy to make. If you need more instructions I'll try and talk you through but basically it's a soft vest shape and nothing very complicated.

      Hi Maureen. I never use DK for my loom hats. I just don't think it works up too well. I save all my thicker yarns from donations or bargain bins for my hats. Arran, chunky and that sort of thing. PoundStretcher does 400g balls of self patterning arran or 500g balls of plain. That should make quite a few hats and only costs £5. I don't work from any pattern. I do a loop ahbout 6 inches from the end of the yarn (same as for knitting) and loop that over one of my loom pins. I then loop the double thickness round each pin til the tail is used up and just continue. I go round the loom 3 times then take the bottom loop over the pin. I wrap round the loom once again to give me 3 loops again and once more go round taking the bottom loop over. I feel that 3 rounds gives a much better hat than 2 rounds which some instructions suggest.
      As for patterns - well I change yarn when I have run out of a bit or get bored, or more unusually, actually make a planned pattern. I tie a small tight knot in the yarns and make sure I put it to the inside. I never bother if I change at the end of a round or the middle. I hate wasting even a few inches of yarn so I just get the best out of it that I can. I make the second largest hat loom to about 9 inches long and finish it with neat stitches or a twisted yarn loop or a pompom or whatever I am in the mood for. They are so easy to make and anything goes. Good luck.

      Hello Maureen, welcome to the UK group. I see that you were asking for patterns for hats/beanies and there are one or two on the site, although you can make any warm hat suitabl for 2-6 year olds for the current challenge.
      There is a simple hat pattern under the KAS main page
      http://www.knit-a-square.com/knitted-hat-patterns.html
      or if you scroll down the forum categories you will come to some hat patterns there. If you glance through the photos you will also see examples of simple hats that have been made and their makers will be happy to tell you how if you need them to. I expect that people will also make other suggestions - they're a very helpful lot.
