iBag for the Knifty Knitter Blue Round Loom

Electronics Tote Bag for the Knifty Knitter Looms

Skill level: Intermediate

Step 1: Holding two strands of each yarn together and treating them as one strand, e wrap 8 pegs. Knit to make a strip that is 8", or 36 rows, long.

Step 2: Take the knitting off of the loom.

Step 3: To make the handle, use 2 strands of the Wool-Ease yarn. Wrap 4 pegs and knit 16 rows.

Step 4: Decrease one stitch on the next two rows, and switch to the figure-8 design, knitting the bottom stitch over the stitch on the top. You are now making an I-cord. Make the cord 26" long, or longer if you want a longer handle.

Step 5: Go back to wrapping the pegs and add one peg on each side of the cord. Knit 16 rows on these 4 pegs.

Step 6: Take the knitting off of the loom.

Step 7: Fold the main part of the pouch in half. Using the yarn needle and the cranberry Wool-Ease yarn, pin the end of the handle in the fold of the main part, and sew in both sides. Do the same on the other side.

3. Like doing the brim on the hats, reach inside the loom and put the stitches from the first row over the pegs to form the cuff. Knit off this row. You will also have to stitch the sides together to make the cuff.
4. Change to the coordinating yarn and cutting the fun fur off, continue knitting until you have the desired length. Measure across your shoulders and consider that you have 3'? cuffs on the ends.

(This will be the brim for the second sleeve).

Woven Top Hat Pattern for the Knifty Knitter Purple Hat Loom

Woven Top Hat
This is an modified version of the "Flat-Topped Hat" from the Provo Craft booklet "Knifty Knitter Adult Hat Loom Patterns," This hat is flat at the top and begins by weaving the yarns on the loom, rather than knitting. The body of the hat is 9 rows of e wrapped knit. The brim of the hat in the original pattern alternated knit and purl stitches to make a ribbing around the brim. My thoughts are that this would make a great Easter basket if a handle were added. There is a Provo Craft pattern for a backpack that starts much the same with a woven bottom.
  • Knifty Knitter Purple Hat Loom
  • Wool-Ease Thick and Quick
  • Knifty Knitter Hook

  1. Before you begin number the pegs on the purple hat loom. Hold the loom with the pegs pointing toward you. The anchor peg should be positioned at the bottom. Peg 1 will be just above the anchor peg and slightly to the right. Continue numbering to 48 in a counter clockwise direction.
  2. Measure 20 yards of yarn fold it in half and using two yarns as if they are one prepare the loom.
  3. Wrap the anchor peg.
  4. Pull the yarn across the loom and wrap peg 24. 



  5. Cross the loom back to peg 48. Wrap under and pull yarn across to peg 2.
  6. Pull the yarn up to peg 23. Weave over and under to peg 25. 
  7. Cross back to 47. Wrap peg. Weave over and under to peg 2.
  8. Cross to peg 22. (Continue in this manner until you get to peg 13.)
  9. Go around peg 37 and weave back. This finishes the hat top.
  10. Ewrap the loom and knit 9 rows.
  11. For the brim - Knit 5 rows of ribbing, by alternating knit and purl stitches. (k,p,k,p,k,p,etc.)
  12. Crochet cast off.
