Kimono Slippers

You will need:
  • Knifty Knitter red round loom
  • Worsted weight yarn (Red Heart - Hot Pink)
  • Yarn needle
Instructions:
  1. Cast on by e wrapping all the pegs of the red loom. 
  2. Change directions and wrap the loom back to the first peg as you would to knit a flat panel.
  3. Knit 16 rows.
  4. On the 17th row, knit only 19 pegs, then reverse directions and knit only 7 pegs. Continue knitting back and forth on these 7 pegs for 40 rows. (When you finish you will have what looks like a large T.)
  5. Cast off using the crochet cast off.
  6. Holding the knit as if it is a capital letter T, pull the right side of the top of the T down to the bottom and sew it in place. Repeat this bringing the left side of the capital T down to the bottom and sewing it in place where you previously sewed. This is the toe of the slipper.
  7. Sew along the sides of the slipper where it meets the bottom of the slipper.

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.

Knifty Knitter Scarf- Skinny and Fun Fur

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.

Knit a Scarf with Vertical Stripes

Knifty Knitter Pink Long Loom
Bulky Yarn
Hook
Yarn Needle

  1. With Color A, e wrap all the odd number pegs, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, etc.
  2. With Color B, e wrap all the even number pegs, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, etc.
  3. Continuing in the same direction as the first wrap, e wrap each peg again with the same color.
  4. Knit, by bringing the bottom loop up over the top loop on each peg.
  5. The scarf is knitted by continuing around the pink long loom in a continuous spiral. Repeat steps 3 and 4 with the pegs always being wrapped in the same color as the previous row. Knit until the scarf reaches the desired length. As a rule of thumb, the scarf should be about as long as the person wearing it is tall.
  6. Use a crochet cast off.

    Baby Booty Pattern for the Knifty Knitter Flower Loom



    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.

    Other Supplies

    • 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.

    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.

    Knifty Knitter Fingerless Gloves

    Knifty Knitter Fingerless Gloves

    Provo Craft Tools

    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 Mitts
    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.

    Funky Vest for the Knifty Knitter Blue Long Loom

    Skill level: Advanced

    When you are measuring, lay the project flat and do not stretch the knitting. Knitting measures approximately 4 rows per inch.

    Step 1:
    Using a contrasting yarn, tie pieces of yarn around pegs 13, 20, 27, 35, 42, and 49. (See diagram.) Pegs 13 and 20 correspond to the left armhole. Pegs 41 and 49 correspond to the right armhole. Pegs 27 and 36 represent decreasing for the neck hole.

    Step 2: Starting on peg 1, wrap the loom with yarn. Don't wrap the peg on the very end (peg 62). Knit for 7 inches (27 rows) on the 61 pegs.

    Step 3:
    BACK: On the 28th row you should be knitting from the right to the left. Knit to peg 49 (the peg with the marker on it). Wrap the next 8 pegs very loosely. Take the loops from pegs 49 and 48, and pull the loop from peg 48 through the loop from peg 49. Then take the loop from peg 47 through the loop from peg 48. Continue in this manner until you have decreased the stitches between the markers, including the loops on the marked pegs (pegs 49 and 42). Knit across the back part of the vest to the marker on peg 20 and decrease the stitches between the markers on peg 20 and peg 13. Knit to the end of the row. If there is any remaining yarn, you can leave it attached and use it for the left front.

    Step 4: Attach another piece of yarn as a marker on peg 20, and knit the back section until you have knit 9 ½", or 38 rows.

    Step 5: NECK: Knit the 6 stitches to the marker on peg 36 and decrease the stitches between pegs 35 and 27 (they have markers on them). Knit the left side until you have knitted 4". Take off of the loom. Attach a piece of yarn as a marker on peg 35 and knit 4", or 16 rows. Take off of the loom.

    Step 6: LEFT FRONT: Using the attached yarn, knit 8". Start decreasing on the front side of the vest—one stitch every inch, or every 4 rows, repeated 6 times. Take knitting from the loom.

    Step 7: RIGHT FRONT: Attach yarn as a marker on peg 49 and knit 8". Starting on the front side of the vest, decrease one stitch every inch, or every 4 rows, repeated 6 times. Step 8: Sew the shoulder seams together. You can add some fringe pieces to make it funky.

    Skill level: Beginner
    Dimensions: measures 27" x 27" including shell stitch

    Step 1: Using one strand of yarn, secure yarn to anchor peg of loom. E wrap up one side of loom, around end, and down other side. Turn on last peg and wrap going opposite direction. When you have two rows wrapped on the loom, knit by pulling the bottom loop over top loop.

    Step 2: Continue wrapping and knitting for 100 rows to make square. To stabilize this loose weave, do single crochet around entire shawl. Crochet 2 single crochet stitches in between each row and 2 single crochet stitches in between each knitted end. Finish with simple shell stitch around single stitch.

    Step 3: Create border around shawl. To create the stitch on the sample, chain 3 dc* in same stitch. Skip 2 stitches and dc 4 times in next stitch. Continue around shawl, skipping 2 stitches and doing 2 dc in first row and skipping 2 stitches and doing 4 dc in next stitch. For next row, do dc's in middle of shells.

    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

     
    Knifty Knitter 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

    Knifty Knitter Change Purse InstructionsKnifty Knitter 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.
