Knifty Knitter Purl Stitches

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1: Slide the loops on the loom to the middle.
Purl Stitch Step 1
Step 2: Lay the wrapping yarn across the front of the pegs. Purl Stitch Step 2
Step 3: Then, using the hook, go under the loop and pull the wrapping yarn up through. Purl Stitch Step 3
Step 4: Take the loop off of the peg... Purl Stitch Step 4
Step 5: ...and replace it with the loop that is pulled through. Purl Stitch Step 5
Note: This stitch will make ribbed edges for hats, handbags and many other projects.

Knifty Knitter Decrease Stitch

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1: Knit to the end of the row and then knit back 3 stitches; this will hold the stitches. Decrease Stitch Step 1
Step 2: Take the first 2 stitches off of the pegs using the hook, Decrease Stitch Step 2
Step 3: and pull the second loop through the first loop. Decrease Stitch Step 3
Step 4: Place the second loop back onto the peg that it was taken from. Decrease Stitch Step 4
Note: More than one stitch can be taken off at a time. Knit back as many stitches as you need to take off, plus one more to hold the yarn as you take the stitches off.

What is the Half Hitch?

The half hitch is a simple loop that holds yarn in place on the loom. (round, rectangle, long, etc.) In most cases, it will be sufficient to simply wrap the yarn around the anchor peg. As you can see in the last photo, the yarn in the half hitch is fed under the yarn above it, making it a more secure when you need to leave the project for a while.

Step 1: Use thumb and index (first) finger to make loop in yarn.

Step 2: Turn the loop ( or twist it) so the yarn attached to the loom is in front or closer to you.

Step 3: Place on peg. Pull yarn tight





Step 4: This will hold the yarn in place, but easily removable. If it slips, use two half hitches.

Knifty Knitter Rectangle Loom Scarf

SCARF INSTRUCTIONS  Note: This is the basic "eight wrap" scarf for the rectangle loom. These instructions have been available in the product packaging for the rectangle loom.
It is usually best to knit with two strands of knitting worsted yarn held together (treating them like one strand) or to use one strand of bulky yarn.
Step 1: Wrap the end of the yarn around the peg on the end of the loom to hold the yarn in place.
Step 2: Using the illustration as a guide, start with the yarn between pegs 1 and 3, and wrap the yarn around peg 1. Bring yarn between pegs 2 and 4 and wrap around peg 2. Then pull the yarn between pegs 3 and 5, and wrap around peg 3. Continue in this figure-8 method until you have wrapped the yarn around enough pegs to match the desired width of your project.
Step 3: When you get to the last even-numbered peg you want to use, wrap it and then pull the yarn straight across the loom to the corresponding odd-numbered peg, as shown.
Step 4a: Wrap the odd-numbered peg (now there will be two loops on it). Wrap the even-numbered peg that is diagonal to the peg you just wrapped, instead of wrapping the even-numbered peg across from the peg you just wrapped (a).

Step 4b: Continue wrapping back toward peg 1 in the figure-8 pattern, following the lines of the previous row. After you have wrapped peg 1, pull the yarn straight across between peg 2 and peg 4 (b).


Step 5: Holding the yarn in place with your finger, use the enclosed hook to lift the bottom yarn loop on peg 1 over the top loop and off the peg. Continue with the hook to lift the bottom row of yarn loops over the top row and off of each peg, as shown.


Step 6: Wrap peg 2, then peg 3, then peg 4, and so on, wrapping the pegs in the same figure-8 pattern. When you reach the last even-numbered peg, wrap it, then pull the yarn straight across to the corresponding odd-numbered peg (Step 3). Hold the yarn in place with your finger while you lift the bottom loop over the top loop and off of the last even-numbered peg. Then pull all the other bottom loops over the top loops and off the pegs. Repeat Steps 4-6 until your project has reached the desired length. After finishing several rows, you can remove the original end of yarn from the outside peg and let it hang. (Note: The knitting will be very loose. You will need to knit several rows before your project is visible.)


Step 7: When your project has reached the desired length, and only one row of loops remains on the pegs, you are ready to remove the yarn from the loom. Cut the end of your wrapping yarn (leaving a few inches). Using a crochet hook, size G or H, start at the end opposite the yarn tail, and lift the loop off the odd-numbered peg with the crochet hook. Go straight across the loom to the even-numbered peg and lift that loop off with the hook. Now you have two loops on your crochet hook. Pull the second loop through the first.


Step 8: Then, using the hook, go under the loop and pull the wrapping yarn up through.



Here are photos of some eight wrap scarfs that I've done. They are done with only one yarn.

Fun Fur Skinny Scarf for the Knifty Knitter Flower Loom

Loom Knit Fun Fur ScarfKnifty Knitter Fun Fur Scarf

This is a fun fur scarf pattern that can be easily loomed by a beginner. It has detailed instructions for someone new to loom knitting. It is also a skinny scarf, so it knits up quickly.

Skill: Beginner

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1: The pegs on the Flower Loom have not been glued in. Remove every other peg from the loom. You will now have 6 pegs in the loom.


Step 2: Holding both the boucle yarn and fun fur yarn together as one, secure the yarn on the side of the loom on the anchor peg. 


Step 3: E wrap all 6 pegs.

Step 4: Wrap the pegs again and knit the bottom loops over the top loops and over the pegs, releasing the yarn to the inside of the loom. You have now completed one row of knitting.


Step 5: Continue wrapping and knitting over until your scarf reaches the desired length or until you have run out of yarn.


Step 6: End with about a 12” yarn tail. Thread this tail on a yarn needle and sew through each of the six loops. Pull up tight and tie off.


Step 7: Thread the starting yarn on the needle and sew up the beginning end. Tie and weave in the end.


Step 8: Beads can be sewn on the two ends for weight and decoration. (This yarn does not make good pom-poms or tassels. Decorations like beads or buttons work best.)

Note: For a furrier scarf, use 2 strands of fun fur yarn.

Scarf with Pom Poms for the Knifty Knitter Rectangle Loom


Knifty Knitter Scarf with Pom Poms

Skill level: Beginner

Provo Craft Tools

Other Supplies

    Knifty Knitter Pom Pom Maker
  • crochet hook
  • 2 skeins (A) Red Heart Light and Lofty Pheasant
  • 1 skein (B) Lion Brand Chunky USA Yukon Gold
  • 1 skein (C) Lion Brand Chunky USA Desert Sand
NOTE: The sample measures 64" x 8", not including the pom-poms.

Step 1: Using the main color of yarn, wrap 24 of the pegs on the purple loom. Wrap in the figure 8 pattern for the first row. Continue wrapping in the fashion stitch, or just go back and forth around the pegs.

Step 2: Knit 9 rows and then change the yarn to the B color. Knit 3 rows. When attaching the new
color of yarn, tie the two colors together in a square knot, leaving tails of about 4".

Step 3: Change the yarn to the C color and knit 3 rows.

Step 4: Change back to the B color yarn and knit 3 rows.

Step 5: Change back to the A color of yarn and knit the middle of the scarf (114 rows, or the length that you would like).

Step 6: Reverse the pattern from the beginning end with the B and C colors. Finish with the A color yarn.

Step 7: Finish by adding 3 ½" wide pom-poms, and single crochet yarn string to attach the pom-poms to the ends of the scarf.

The video below shows the fashion stitch being done. The loom here used is the blue long loom, not the rectangle loom, however the stitch is done in the same manner as the pattern above.
The video below shows how to make pom poms using the Knifty Knitter pom pom maker. If you do not have one, you can still use this method of wrapping on a round loom to get the same outcome.

Simple Single Panel Scarf for Beginners

Knifty Knitter Scarf - Beginners

Provo Craft Tools

Other Supplies

  • 1 skein green 4-ply knitting worsted yarn
  • 1 skein variegated green 4-ply or knitting worsted yarn
  • crochet hook size G or H

 

Note: This is a very good project for a beginner to learn the basics of loom knitting. It is also a very good project for understanding how a flat panel can be knitted on a round loom. Flat panels do have a tendency to roll at the edges, and as you can see in the photo, both sides of the scarf are not the same.

Skill level: Beginner

Step 1: Using 2 strands of green yarn, wrap all the way around the loom to peg 24

Step 2:Using peg 24 as the turning peg, wrap back to the first peg, wrapping the opposite way. Knit the first row over the second row. (There will only be one wrap around peg 24 until you wrap back on the third row.)

Step 3: Turn and wrap again. Continue knitting and wrapping for 19 rows.

Step 4: Change one of the green yarns to the variegated yarn and knit seven rows.

Step 5: Change back to the green and knit seven rows.

Step 6: Change to variegated and knit approximately 47" to the other end of the scarf. Repeat the pattern going backwards to make the ends look alike.

Step 7: To remove from the loom, you may want to use a crochet hook. Lift the first loop from the peg and then life the second loop from the peg. Loosely crochet through these two loops and then take off the third loop and crochet through the two loops on the needle. Continue taking all of the loops from the loom and pull the yarn through the last loop. Pull tight and cut the yarn, leaving 4" or 5" to weave into the scarf.
Step 8: Cut 7" pieces of yarn to make fringe.




Braided Scarf for the Knifty Knitter Spool Loom

Barbie loomed this version of the braided scarf pattern in blue and white hues. What a fun scarf. 

Provo Craft Tools

This pattern was originally designed by Alicia Underwood and published on the Provo Craft website. 

Other Supplies

  • 3 or 4 different skeins of yarn (your choice of color/style; use the Fun Fur, the regular knitting worsted yarn, or any other yarn)

Skill level: Beginner

Note: This is an easy project, and although it takes some time to make the tubes, it's worth it. To make the project go a little quicker, try using only 3 tubes instead of 5 for a scarf that isn't as bulky around the neck.

Step 1: Using the Spool Loom (the end with 5 pegs) and one strand of yarn, knit 5 tubes, each between 50" and 56" long. It is best if they are each different lengths.

Step 2: Hook the 5 tubes together as shown in the diagram (SEE DIAGRAM) and then braid them together. Then sew the tubes together using the yarn needle to ensure that they won't come undone.

Step 3: Using the Knifty Knitter Pom-Pom and Tassel Maker, put pom-poms on both ends of each tube. (The Fun Fur tube in this picture doesn't have pom-poms because Fun Fur doesn't make good pom-poms.)

Dinosaur Hat

Round Knifty Knitter loom in the prefered size for your hat
Flower loom
Worsted weight yarn in white
Worsted weight yarn in color of choice
Poly-fil
2 black buttons

Hat
  1. Knit a basic roll brim hat following these instructions: Roll Brim Hat
  2. Rather than letting the brim roll, fold the brim up around 1 1/2 inches and use a yarn needle and thread to stitch the brim into place. Stitch from the inside of the hat, ensuring that the stitches tacking the brim into place are discreet.
Eyes
  1. Use the flower loom for each eye. Hold two white yarns together as one, begin with the draw string cast on.
  2. Knit them using the two over two stitch. 
  3. After 12 rows, change colors to the same color yarn as used for the hat. Using the same 2 over 2 stitch, knit 8 more rows.
  4. Cut the working yarn to approximately 1 10 inches.
  5. Sew through each loop on the flower loom to cast off.
  6. Stuff the eye with Poly-fil.
  7. Pull the working yarn tight to close the top of the eye.
  8. Finish the eye by adding a black button.
Spikes
  1. You will be making 3 triangle shaped spikes to line up down the back of the hat. You can use the same color as the hat itself, or a contrasting color of your choice.
  2. Begin by wrapping only one. You will still be holding 2 yarns as one.
  3. Increase stitch by wrapping an extra peg on each side of the peg wrapped in the previous row.
  4. You will now have 1 peg with 2 loops on it and 2 pegs with only one loop. Knit on the peg that has 2 loops in the one over one fashion.
  5. Wrap the next row using an increase (wrap and extra peg on each side of the previous row.) Knit all the pegs that have 2 loops. 
  6. Repeat step 5 until you have knit 11 rows. 
  7. Crochet cast off.
  8. This is your first triangle. You will make 6 of them.
  9. Sew 2 of the triangles together along 2 edges by sewing through each set of loops around the perimeter. Leave one side of the triangle open. Stuff with Poly-fil. 
  10. After stuffing, sew the open edge of the triangle to the hat using a yarn needle and thread. This is your first spike. Continue until you have 3 spikes down the back of the hat in a straight line.

    Skill level: Beginner

    Step 1: Using 12 pegs e wrap both strands around these pegs and turn and knit back and forth for 12 rows to make a flat panel of knit.

    Step 2: Take the beginning stitches and put them up and over the pegs as you would if you were making a brim on a hat, knit these stitches and continue knitting for another 12 rows.

    Step 3: Cut the yarn you are knitting with about 14" from the knitting. Using the yarn needle thread the end of the yarn back through the 12 loops on the pegs and pull tight for the toe.

    Step 4: Tie the yarn at the toe and then sew or weave up the top or front of the bootie.

    Step 5: Finish by chaining a piece of yarn about 12" long and thread through the fold on the top of the bootie. Make a pom-pom and tie on each end of the string. You could also use a piece of ribbon if you do not want to make the pom-poms.

    • 2 skeins of Lion Brand Yarn - Color Waves (Mai Tai)
    • 2 skeins of Lion Brand Yarn - Micro Spun (Mocha)
    Skill level: Advanced
    Step 1: Hold one strand of each yarn together (treating them as one strand) to knit project.

    Step 2: Using the yellow long loom, e wrap every other peg until you have gone all the way around the loom. You will be knitting on these pegs for the entire project.

    Step 3: Put the second row of stitches on and knit to the end. Wind the yarn back 3 stitches and knit these (this will hold the yarn so it does not come undone). Now take the turning peg loop and put it on the peg next to the end peg. Knit the bottom loop over it. This is the decrease stitch.
    Note: The pattern is knit in a slant by decreasing on one side and adding a stitch on the other side.

    Step 4: Wrap the rest of the row. When you have returned to the beginning end, wrap the last stitch and skip the next peg. Turn around the peg that was deleted at the first of the row. This is the increase stitch.

    Step 5: Continue knitting, decreasing on the one end and increasing on the other, for 45 rows. Place a marker here on both ends. You can use knitting stitch markers or safety pins, or tie a piece of contrasting yarn.

    Step 6: Knit even on the stitches for 22 rows. Put markers on both of these ends.

    Step 7: Starting on row 23, knit the first 3 stitches and decrease the first stitch. Knit to the end of this row, and wrap and add onto the peg that you decreased off at the beginning of row. Continue knitting, increasing and decreasing, for 45 rows.

    Step 8: Take the project from the loom by using a crochet hook and single crocheting the loops
    from the pegs.

    Step 9: Make 6 tassels using the Pom-Pom Maker. Place the pegs in the two holes that are the farthest apart. Wrap the pegs 20 times using the Micro Spun yarn. Tie the tassel and sew to the 6 x marks on the diagram.

    Increase Stitch

    INSTRUCTIONS

    Step 1: Knit to the end of the row.
    Step 2: Wrap the peg that you have been turning on and then wrap the next peg to make it the turning peg.
    Note: You can add stitches on either end of the loom.
    Also, you can add two stitches by wrapping two pegs past the peg you have been turning on, and so on.

    How to Panel Knit

    INSTRUCTIONS

    Single panel knitting is the method of knitting that creates a single "sheet" of fabric instead of a "tube" of fabric. One can also double panel knit to create a thick flat "sheet." For single panel knit, you work back and forth.

    Step 1: "E-wrap" yarn around pegs (wrapping loops that look like several cursive lowercase e's — notice that the yarn crosses on the inside of the loom, the wrapping is done by going in a clockwise direction) until you have one loop on each peg (or until desired width is reached).


    Step 2: Turn at last peg. This peg is also referred to as a "turning" peg. This is done by taking the yarn to the outside of the loom and wrap the last peg (or turning peg) in a counter-clockwise direction. Wrap second loop around second to last peg, continue to wrap pegs in opposite direction as the first row, etc.


    Step 3: Continue wrapping rest of pegs back to first peg.


    Step 4: Knit off (lifting bottom loop over top loop) and continue wrapping and knitting off back and forth until fabric is desired length.











    Hourglass Scarf for the Knifty Knitter Blue Round Loom

    Knifty Knitter Hourglass Scarf

    Skill level: Intermediate

    This scarf is wide on the ends and narrow in the middle of the neck — like an hourglass shape—so that it fits the neck better.

    Step 1: Using one strand of each of the yarns, e wrap all the pegs on the loom.

    Step 2: Turn around on peg 24 and knit back. Knit back and forth for 8". This makes a flat panel piece, instead of a circular piece like a hat.

    Step 3: Decrease one loop on the beginning of the next 2 rows, as follows: put the loop from the first peg on the hook and then put the loop from the second peg on the hook. Pull the second loop through the first loop and place the loop on the second peg. Now you will be knitting on 22 pegs instead of 24. Knit on these 22 pegs for 4".

    Step 4: Decrease 1 loop on the beginning of the next 2 rows. Knit 4" on these 20 pegs.

    Step 5: Continue this method, decreasing and knitting for 4", until you are only knitting on 12 pegs. Knit for 12". (This will be the more narrow neck section.)

    Step 6: Increase, or add, one stitch on each end of the next 2 rows and knit 4". (To increase, simply wrap an extra peg on each end.) Increasing stitches creates the wider part of the scarf.

    Step 7: Repeat this (increasing and wrapping 4") until you are knitting on all the pegs.

    Step 8: Knit until you are 8" from the last increase.

    Step 9: Use a crochet hook to remove the loops from the loom. Take the first loop from the loom and chain through. Take the next loop off and chain through both of the loops. Continue until all loops are taken from the loom. Do the crochet stitches very loosely. Pull the end of the yarn through the last loop and pull tight. (You may want to crochet a chain stitch at the beginning of the scarf to make the ends the same width.)

    This yarn covers up the stitches. To be able to see the adding of stitches, use knitting markers or safety pins to show increases and decreases.

    Other Supplies

    • Sewing needle and thread to match
    • 1 skein of Lion Brand Wool-Ease (color: Cranberry)
    • 1 skein of Lion Brand Yarn Color Waves (color: Sunset Red)

    Step 1: Left Hand: Using 2 strands of Wool-Ease yarn, e wrap counterclockwise to peg 19. Turn around on peg 19 and knit back to peg 1. Complete 12 rows.

    Step 2: Thumb: After you have knitted back to peg 1, wrap pegs 24, 23, 22, 21, and 20. This will be the top of the thumb. Knit back to peg 19. Then turn and knit the other way to peg 20. Decrease the loop on peg 20, and continue decreasing one loop on the thumb side (5 times) until you are back on the original 19 pegs.

    Step 3: Knit 2 more rows on the 19 pegs.

    Step 4: Cut one of the yarns and add in the Color Wave yarn. Knit 3 rows and take them off of the loom, very loosely.

    Step 5: Sew the side of the glove up using the yarn needle and the Wool-Ease yarn. Leave a hole for the thumb.

    Step 6: Right hand: start on peg 24 and wrap clockwise to peg 6. Complete 12 rows of knitting.

    Step 7: Thumb: When you have knit back to peg 24, knit on pegs 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Decrease the loop on peg 5, and continue decreasing every row on the thumb side (5 times) until you are back on the original 19 pegs.

    Step 8: Using the yarn needle and one strand of yarn, sew up the side of the glove, leaving the hole for the thumb.

    Step 9: Make one stitch in the middle of the end where the fingers come out. The stitch will go in between the four fingers on your hand. (I used a needle with regular sewing thread to tack this space between the fingers.)


    Baby Mitts for the Knifty Knitter Flower Loom

    Knifty Knitter Baby Booties and Mitts Pattern

    Skill level: Beginner

    Step 1: Using one strand of the blue yarn and one strand of the white yarn (holding them together as if they were one strand), wrap the 12 pegs according to the method shown in the Round Loom instructions.

    Step 2: Wrap and “knit off” five rows of knitting, using the hook as shown in the Round Loom instructions.
    Step 3a: Using the crochet hook, take the loop from the 1st peg and then from the 2nd peg. Knifty Knitter Baby Mitt Instructions
    Step 3b: Pull the 2nd loop through the 1st loop and place the loop back on the 2nd peg.
    Step 3c: Take the loop from the 3rd peg and then from the 4th peg. Pull the 4th loop through the 3rd loop and place the loop back on the 4th peg.
    Step 3d: Continue in this manner until you have taken the 12th loop through the 11th loop and placed the loop on the 12th peg. You will now have 6 loops on the loom.
    Step 4: Wrap the loom 2 more times. Now some pegs will have 3 loops and others will have 2 loops. For the pegs that have 3 loops on them, knit the bottom 2 loops over the top loop. For the pegs that have 2 loops on them, knit the bottom loop over the top one, just like normal. When you are finished, there will only be one loop on each peg.

    Step 5: Wrap and knit off 9 more rows. Thread the blue yarn needle with one strand of yarn, and sew the yarn through the loops on the pegs (pulling the loops off the pegs as you go). When you have sewn through all the pegs, pull the two ends of the yarn to gather the material and tie them in a tight square knot. (This is the same method you would use to finish a hat on the Round Loom.)

    Repeat Steps 1 – 5 to make a mitt for the other hand.

    Step 6: You can string a ribbon through the holes in the top of the mitts or, using one strand of yarn, make an I Cord (see directions below) and put a pom-pom on each end to string through the holes.
    • I Cord: Using any 2 pegs on any of the looms, wrap 2 loops on each peg in a figure 8 design. Take the bottom loop over the top loop and over the peg. Continue wrapping in the figure 8 and knitting over. This will form your I Cord.
