Step 2: Knit 2 panels that are 33" long (they will be 20" wide). This is equivalent to about 110 rows in each panel. |
Step 3: Sew panels together as shown in diagram. Leave about 22 loops on each side of both panels for the neck. Slip the knitting through the center of the yellow loom, and slip the stitches on the pegs to the yellow loom. Knit 9 rows. |
Step 4: Using a crochet hook, do a single crochet around the outside edge and around the neck piece.

I am busywith this poncho but because it,s for my young daughter, the shop told me to do two panels of 25 pegs and 72cm long. I have done this, but cast off the first panel from the round loom before starting the 2nd panel. Now I am not sure how to progress. Should I have left the 1st panel on the loom so would end up with 2 panels on the round loom at the same time? What next? Your advise would be appreciated! Alison
ReplyDeleteWorking on a round loom. As it is for my young daughter, I was told to only cast on 25 pegs per panel. When I finished my 1st panel, I cast off, then have done my 2nd panel on the round loom. Not sure now whether I should have left the 1st panel on so I am left with two panels on the round loom at the same time? Not sure how to progress and how to sew together.
