Snowman Pattern for the Round Looms

Instructions

1. Bottom Body Section: With 2 strands of white yarn, work on every peg of green loom, for approximately 10-12 inches.

2. When you have reached the desired length, cut your yarn about 15" away from the last peg and put your yarn needle on the strands of thread. Go around the loom picking up the yarn off each peg (starting with the first peg) until you have all the yarn off the pegs.

3. Draw up the yarn to leave an opening approximately 1-1"½" put the needle through the opening and slide the opening over the handle of the plunger. Pull the yarn snug. Whipstitch around in the loops surrounding the plunger handle. (Tacky Glue can be used here also, for extra durability-put the glue where the yarn and plunger handle meet on the inside of the project).

4. Stuff the bottom body section with polyfil to the desired fullness. Whipstitch the top closed around the plunger handle. (Apply more glue here if desired).

5. Middle Body Section: Repeat directions for "Bottom Body Section'? this time using the red loom and working approximately 9-11 inches.

6. Top Body Section Repeat directions for "Bottom Body Section'? this time using the blue loom and working approximately 11-13". When you whipstitch the top of this section closed it will not be around the plunger handle. You will draw it up tight and secure your stitches

7. This section looks a little abnormally long, but remember "½ of this section is covered by the hat, so you want it to be longer. You will sew (and/or glue) the face on after the hat is on.

8. Hat: Using the red loom, make a hat with brim and ball. To make the brim, work every peg with 2 strands of yarn for approximately 12-14 rows; pull the first stitch up on the pegs; knit off; continue working until your hat measures about 7" or so.

9. When you reach 7" , cut the yarn about 15" away from the last peg and put your yarn needle on the threads and pick up the loops from around the pegs. Pulling tightly, take your needle through to the center of the hat. Whipstitch a couple of stitches to secure the hat. Make a pom-pom to put on top of the hat using a pom-pom maker.

10. Scarf: Using any loom work the panel stitch for 5 pegs with 2 strands of the same yarn used for the hat. (When doing the panel stitch, the end pegs only get knitted off every other row.) The scarf is approx. 24-25" long (before fringe)

11. Bind off; following directions in the Knifty Knitter Slim Jim. Add fringe to the bottom of the scarf by cutting pieces of the yarn approximately 6" and pull 2 strands (folded in half) through the bottom of the scarf every "½'? or so, using a crochet hook. Pull the ends of the fringe through the loop made by the crochet hook. Snug down and trim the fringe if needed. ENJOY!!

Loomed Snowmen Trio

This stuffed trio of snowmen is from Bev's Country Cottage. The hat and body of the snowmen is knitted using the blue loom, or smallest loom in the round loom set. For the scarves, they recommend using the "wonder knitter" or crocheting them. Another option that I would suggest is following the instructions for an "I-cord" and simply making the cord slightly wider. It would make a perfect snowman scarf and you can use a loom that you already own. The stitch used to make these snowmen is the e-wrap, also called the twisted stockinette.

Loom Lore: Snowman Cozy

I'd use this cozy from the "Loom Lore" blog to cover candles, or gift jars, but it says it's for toilet paper. The possibilities are endless.

It uses the red Knifty Knitter loom, and the spool loom for the scarf. This snowman cover was also done in the "e-wrap," or twisted stockinette stitch. I love the burgundy color of the hat and scarf.

Christmas Stocking Pattern for the Knifty Knitter Red Round Loom

This pattern makes a large Christmas stocking to hold plenty of toys from Santa.

What you will need:

• Red Round Knifty Knitter Loom
• Red Yarn
• Dark Green Yarn

1. Using 2 strands of red yarn as if they are one, ewrap all pegs on the red loom twice.
2. Knit a row.
3. Ewrap one more row and knit. Continue until the knit reaches 6.5 inches.
4. Pull the first row of knit up through the inside of the loom and place it on the pegs. Knit. (This creates a cuff on the top of the stocking.
5. Change the yarn color to 2 strands of green. Knit 29 rows, or approximately 8 inches.
6. The next few steps will create the heel of the stocking. Change the yarn color back to 2 strands of red. Wrap to the 15th peg. Knit. Wrap back to peg 1. Knit.
7. Remove the loops from peg 1 and 2. Pull 2 through 1. Place the loop back on peg 2.
   Remove the loops from peg 14 and 15. Pull 15 through 14. Place the loop back on peg 14.
8. Ewrap the heel pegs and knit.
9. Continue to decrease the width of the knit by pulling the loops at the edge of the knit through the previous loop before knitting. (Loop 2 through 3, and loop 13 through 14.) When you've done this 3 times, you will have 3 empty pegs on each side.
10. With the remaining 9 pegs, knit four rows.
11. Now, you'll begin to add stitches, or increase stitch. Each time you knit to the end of a row, add a stitch to an empty peg. When you've done this six times, all the empty pegs will be filled. 
12. Using the green yarn, knit 27 more full rounds. 
13. Change to the red yarn and knit 10 rows. This is the toe of the stocking.
14. Run the working yarn through all the loops on the loom to remove them one by one. Pull the working yarn tight to cinch closed the toe of the stocking. Tie off the yarn.
15. Turn the stocking inside out and use the remaining yarn to stitch the two sides of the heel closed.
