Here is yet another hat. I didn't really intend on making this wearable (hence the size). This was just an experiment in decreasing stitches on my Bic pen loom creation. I have discovered that I can actually add and remove pegs from the loom while working, giving me the ability to increase/decrease stitches while knitting "in the round". I need to improve my placement of the decreases, but at least I figured out how to do it. I'm eventually aiming to make some contoured fingerless gloves and some socks to wear camping. I will need to use thinner pegs, though. I'm thinking BBQ skewers at the moment.
Here are close ups showing the decrease effect. Not the best placement.
Next I think I've found a way to double knit on it as well! I'll keep you posted on my success. :)

I did it! I figured out how to double-knit on my pen loom. Check it out
here. I'm all ready to start making a double-knit scarf!
