Instructions

1. Use 2 strands of yarn as one for the complete project. Using the Knifty Knitter Round Loom Red (and all 31 pegs), panel knit four panels of knitting using the e-wrap. Knit first panel: blue yarn for 48 rows, white yarn for 10 rows, pink yarn for 48 rows, white yarn for 10 rows, green yarn for 48 rows, white yarn for 10 rows, and then yellow yarn for 48 rows.

2. Knit second panel: pink yarn for 48 rows, white yarn for 10 rows, green yarn for 48 rows, white yarn for 10 rows, yellow yarn for 48 rows, white yarn for 10 rows, and then blue yarn for 48 rows.

3. Knit third panel: green yarn for 48 rows, white yarn for 10 rows, yellow yarn for 48 rows, white yarn for 10 rows, blue yarn for 48 rows, white yarn for 10 rows, and pink yarn for 48 rows.

4. Knit fourth panel: yellow yarn for 48 rows, white yarn for 10 rows, blue yarn for 48 rows, white yarn for 10 rows, pink yarn for 48 rows, white yarn for 10 rows, and then green yarn for 48 rows.

5. Lay first and second panels face-up on a flat surface. Connect with a mattress stitch to hook them together. To use the mattress stitch, line up the matching white sections from the two panels. Thread a long strand of white yarn through your yarn needle. With the edges of the two panels side by side, sew with the yarn needle through the loops on either edge. Pull tight once you have sewn up the gap between the panels, knot, and weave any ends into the panels.

6. Using the yarn needle and the ribbon, sew over the seam. Sew in about every fifth row of knitting. You will be sewing one strand of ribbon one way, and then using a second strand of ribbon to sew the opposite direction (see close-up picture). Tie a bow on each end of the rows
