Magic loop would work great for mittens, too. And any size of hat pattern, really.

What are you wanting to make with the magic loop method, Virginia? It's commonly used for socks. Have you checked out the sock knitalong? It's also a good choice for baby hats made in the round (since they are too small for a 16" circular needle). I like to make baby hats for charity, but I tend to use the two circulars method--just because that's how I learned to do socks, so I find it easiest.

I just found this place and would like suggetions for simple quick patterns that can be made using the "magic loop" method. I just got the hang of that and it is working well for me and would like to make something nice for others less fortunate.

yes, I tried to take a pic with my phone and get it on this web site but I guess I need more time to figure it all out.

Ok, finished my socks and did a little spinning. Now back to hats.

Joanne, I think 50 hats per year is a very laudable goal. There is nothing wrong with taking off a little time to spin and knit something else.

I now have 16 hats for my project. I usually give hats on my birthday which is in November. I try to have 50 hats per year. A little behind right now but I'll be taking some time off from hats to make a pair of socks from yarn that I spun. Maybe I'll make another hat sometime between the two socks.
