hi i got mine yesterday do you know how many pegs for what size hat? i am at a loss here wish there were patterns or files to use i love your blog! you are so talented
thank you

I received some information on the decoraccentsinc Yahoo group regarding the number of pegs to use on a 3/8" gauge for hats.
Becky, from this group gave me this advice:
"If you go to the files section on the group home page, click on frequently
asked questions, and click on average head sizes, you'll have half of the information you need. Next, you'll want to knit a swatch to see
how many stitches per inch the yarn knits up at, and then do the math
for how many pegs you'll need. This is the best method to figure out
how many pegs you'd need, because an individual's knitting tension, as
well as the yarn used and stitch used, will result in swatches of different stitches/pegs per inch even when using the same loom."
Isela also commented:
"Hi Linda,
I second Becky's suggestion--the best way is to knit a swatch then follow the measurements in the Database/Links section. One tip: Hats usually have about 1-2" negative ease."
You seem to have a lot of knowledge about knitting boards.
Do you do any pattern testing?
I just got an ESG WonderLoom and I love it!!! I haven't made any dishcloths yet, but that's one of the reasons I wanted it. I'm not sure I'm ready for FG, so I thought ESG would be good. I love the nylon pegs! Hope to see more of your projects soon, especially Wonderloom projects!
