iBag for the Knifty Knitter Blue Round Loom

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.

Tote Bag for the Knifty Knitter Green Round Loom

Skill level: Intermediate

Step 1: Using both yarns held together, e wrap the loom and knit 25 rows. Start and end the knitting at the peg on the side of the loom.

Step 2: Cut the end of the yarn you are wrapping with, leaving about 36", and thread it onto the yarn needle. Start to take the loops from the loom by threading through the loop on peg 1, then through the loop on peg 36, then the loop on peg 2, then the loop on peg 35. Continue back and forth in this method until you have taken all of the loops from the loom. Pull the yarn until the loops are woven together to make the bottom flat. Tie a knot in the yarn, and weave the ends into the piece.

Step 3: Single crochet around the top of the bag.

Step 4: Bag Handle: Holding both yarns together, wrap 4 pegs and knit back and forth for 134 rows, or 33". You may lengthen or shorten the handle if you wish.

Step 5: To make the clasp strap, wrap 4 pegs and knit for 15 rows.

Step 6: Using the cotton yarn, sew the handle to the sides of the bag at the fold sides. Sew the clasp to the middle of the back of the bag, and embellish with buttons, beads, or other accessories of your choice.

The Big Purple Bag

 

Skill level: Intermediate

Note: This bag can be lined, but it is a great bag to go shopping with. It stretches so big that you can put a lot of packages in it. The handles are comfortable and strong enough to support a heavy load.

Step 1: Flat piece of knitting: E wrap the loom, starting with peg 2 and ending with peg 31. Turn on peg 31 and e wrap back to peg 2. Knit 16 rows in this manner. (This piece will eventually fold over the handle.)

Step 2: Main body of the bag: Use the pegs on both sides of the loom (but not the pegs on each end of the loom) to knit in the figure 8 pattern. This will hold the stitches for the next rows. Wrap back and forth (fashion stitch), and then knit these stitches over. You will knit one stitch over on one side and two stitches over one stitch on the other side.

Step 3: Using the Bernat Disco yarn (this should be at peg 2), knit in with the main yarn for the next 6 rows. Cut the Bernat Disco and continue knitting until the knitting measures 24" of the main color of yarn (end at peg 2). Add in the Bernat Disco for the next 6 rows and then cut this yarn.

Step 4: Knit one row using only the main color (this will leave you at peg 31). Take the loops from the other side of the loom and place them over the corresponding pegs in the row you just knitted. You will now have 2 loops on the pegs on the right side of the loom. Wrap back in the single stitch and knit the 2 loops over the wrapped one. Continue knitting the single stitch for 16 rows.

Step 5: Using the main color and the Spool Loom (the end with 8 pegs), knit a tube 28" to 34" long (instructions can be found in the Spool Loom packaging). You will need 2 of these tubes.

Step 6: Fold the single knitting over. Using the yarn needle and yarn, sew to make a tube to string the handles through. Sew up the sides about half way. Thread the handles through the tube. Sew the ends together and slip these sewn ends to the middle of the tube.

Step 7: Sew the sequins on with sewing thread or loops of the yarn. Sew each one on separately, so that the bag can stretch.

Change Purse

This purse uses fabric instead of yarn. After cutting the lining for the purse, the remaining fabric is cut into strips. These strips are used as yarn while looming. This is an interesting project if you have sewing skills and want to try something new. Skill: Advanced Instructions

1. Cut a square piece about 7X9 for the lining of the purse.

2. Using the rotary cutter and the mat cutter, cut the rest of the yard of fabric INTO 1 1/4"stripes on the bias. (click on bottom picture for a detailed view) This gives the fabric have a little stretch.

3. Sew the strips together on the sewing machine. (click on bottom picture for a detailed view)

4. Try to keep the fabric folded so that the right side is out it will make your project much brighter to have the right side out. You may want to iron on fold.

5. E wrap the fabric strips loosely around the pegs. I used 16 pegs and knit about 26 rows. When I fold the knit work in half it measures 4"X 7" the finished size of the purse.

6. Using the square of fabric fold it in the middle then iron about 3/4 of an inch. On the long sides and put the zipper in.

7. Sew the back side of the zipper to the right side of the fabric, and sew up the side seams. (click on bottom picture for a detailed view)

8. Hand stitch the sides of the knitted square and hand stitch the around the zipper.

Other Supplies

Needle and thread One yard of cotton fabric. A rotary cutter and mat A ruler. A 7" zipper.

Backpack

Instructions

1. Using the yellow loom and using only one strand of yarn, wrap loom as picture shows. (Diagram #1)

2. Thread a yarn needle and starting as close to the center as possible, start to weave over and under, every 2 threads. (Diagram #2)

3. As you go around, you are weaving on an odd number of pegs (41 pegs). When you get back to the starting point, you will be going opposite over and under. (If you went over the first time you will be going under this row.)

4. Continue until you have as many rows as you can weave on the loom. It needs to be tight, but not too tight.

5. Leave the loops on the loom and wrap one more row on the loom. Knit the bottom loops over and continue knitting until your bag measures 17" or 55 rows of knitting. Crochet the loops from the loom loosely.

6. If you have to add yarn, be sure that you tie the new piece or pieces on inside the bag.

7. Measure 3 pieces of yarn 6' long and braid for the tie closer. Count down from the top of the bag 5 rows. Now weave the long braided piece in and out of the rows of knitting.

8. Using leather strips, braid them together and hook on to the bag as shown in diagram #3. Add your favorite possessions and you are on your way.

What you will need: Provo Craft Supplies: Knifty Knitter loom small (blue) Other Supplies: 1 Skein Baby Clouds Yarn by Red Heart Yarn (color of your choice) 1 Skein Fun Fur by Lion Brand Yarn (color of your choice) 18" of 1/4" or 1/2" satin ribbon your choice of color Glue gun and glue sticks 2 white pompoms for cheeks (or use the Knifty Knitter pom-pom maker) 1 small pink pom-pom for the nose Pink blush or pastel chalk 2 wiggle eyes 1" x 1" fun foam for teeth (optional) Instructions:

1. Purse Body: For this project, take the end of each of the two yarns and e wrap the blue round loom with them as if they were a single strand of yarn. Knit in a spiral until you have 8" of tube knitting on the loom. End with only one loop on each peg.

2.  Cut the yarn, leaving a 12 inch tail. Thread on a needle and pull through the loops on the pegs.

3.  Take the loops off the pegs. Pull the yarn tail tight. This will gather all the stitches to make the bottom of the bag. Do a couple of slip stitches in the bottom to tie off.

4. Ears: Wrap the yarn on 5 pegs and work back and forth, using these five pegs until you have knitted 7 inches.

5. Remove in the same method as the purse. Tie off. The top of the ears will be the tied-off end. -- Make 2 of these.

6. Handle: Use the same method, but only 3 pegs.

7. Work back and forth on these 3 pegs until you have 12 inches for short handle or 48 inches for long handle (remember that the handle may stretch, so you can make it a little shorter).

8. Sewing the parts together: Laying the purse flat, pin one side of the handle to the left inside top of the bag.

9. Pin the other side to the right inside top of bag.

10. Using only the Baby Cloud yarn, thread the needle and sew handle ends in place.

11. Place each ear next to the front of each handle; pin and sew in place.

12. Thread the ribbon on the needle and sew 1 inch from the top, starting in the center front and sewing completely around the bag.

13. This makes a draw-string effect to close the purse.

14. Pom-poms: Using the Knifty Knitter Pom-pom maker, you can choose the size you would like for the nose and the cheeks.

15. Glue the cheeks on using the glue gun and placing them close together. Glue the pink pom-pom in the middle of the cheek pom-poms. Joan Toczek knitted this adorable bunny tote and photographed her beautiful granddaughter holding it. She embroidered the eyes and made the teeth of folded over ribbon. She used pom poms for the cheeks and nose. Joan says that in a larger size, these would make great bags to carry Easter eggs for an egg hunt.
