The second neck pillow Barbie loom with Homespun Quick and Thick:

Water Wave Shawl

Instructions

1. The main part of the knitting is done on every other peg. This makes the scarf very light and airy.

2. Wrap the first three pegs and knit 8 rows, back and forth.

3. Wrap the first three pegs, skip the next peg, and wrap around the next peg, turning back to the first 3 pegs.

4. Knit these loops and when you wrap again, skip the end peg and wrap around the next and turn.

5. Continue adding a stitch on the one side until you have the loom completely filled.

6. Knit these rows even for 18 rows.

7. Decrease one stitch on the right hand side, by turning on the last peg (make this last turning stitch very loose) and knit the next two stitches.

8. Using the crochet hook, take the loop from the turning peg and pull the next loop through the end one.

9. Place the remaining loop back on the same peg. Keep this very loose.

10. Knit even on the last three loops for about 8" and make a tassel for the end.

11. Sew the small loop on the opposite end to make a loop for the long end to go through.

Patterned Hat

For Adult Size Hat Loom

Instructions

1. Start at top of hat: E-wrap around the entire hat loom twice. Knit off (taking the bottom loop over top loop and peg). Repeat 2 more times. TIP: The e-wrap is a basic wrap of the yarn around the pegs. It crosses on the inside of the loom, and looks like a cursive lowercase e when viewed from above.

2. Create patterned row: Take the loop on peg 1 and place it on peg 2. Knit off on peg 2 leaving peg 1 empty. Repeat with peg 3 and peg 4, taking the loop on peg 3, placing it on peg 4, and knitting off on peg 4. Continue this pattern around the loom, leaving every other peg empty.

3. E-wrap the entire loom again, and then knit off on every other peg that has 2 loops on it. The loom will then have one loop on each peg.

4. E-wrap and knit off 3 more rows. Then repeat steps 2 and 3.

5. Continue knitting with desired pattern until hat is desired height. (We used 6 patterned rows total and ended with 3 knit rows.)

6. Create brim: E-wrap twice around the loom and then knit off. Use the purl stitch on the next row (see instructions for Purl Stitch on the Knifty Knitter page). E-wrap and knit off the third row, and then purl stitch on the fourth row. Repeat this pattern, alternating e-wrapping and purl stitching for 4 more rows.

7. Crochet the loops off of the loom using a loose chain stitch and keep it loose or otherwise it will be too tight (see instructions for Chain Stitch on the Knifty Knitter page).

2. Make them all different sizes*, tall or short by the number of rows you want to knit. Run a piece of yarn through all of the loops on the loom and pull tight (this is the bottom). --*(the size of pumpkin and number of rows will directly effect the time required to complete each pumpkin.)

3. Make sure that you have a long enough piece left to pull up to the top of the pumpkin.

4. Using the yarn needle thread with yarn and pick up the first loops of the piece and pull up, but do not tie.

6. Do not over-fill the bodies. Tie the top off and pull up the yarn, running through the middle of the pumpkin.

7. Stem and Leaf -- The leaf and stem can be made all together. Starting at the tip of the leaf, wrap on one loop and then add one stitch on each of the next 6 rows.

8. Work even on these stitches for 4 rows. Start taking off stitches on the first of the next 4 rows.

9. Knit even on the 3 stitches for 4 rows. Add 3 stitches on the next 2 rows and knit even on these 10 stitches for 14 rows.

10. Cut the yarn that you are winding with about 20" and thread on yarn needle.

11. Run the yarn through the loops on the pegs and sew up the sides of the stem.

Old Glory Blanket

Created By:
Kathy Underwood
Time to Do: Couple Weeks
Level: Intermediate

This project measures 40.5" x 60" -- This project is done in panels and can be easily taken with you in your travels.

Instructions

1. You will be using 2 strands of yarn as one throughout the entire project.

2. Split panels: Use the Knifty Knitter Round Loom Blue and 2 strands of blue yarn to e-wrap 9 pegs. Wrap these 9 pegs then knit back and forth for 36 rows. Change to the red yarn and knit 54 more rows. Create 4 of these panels.

3. E-wrap the loom with the blue yarn and knit 36 rows then change to the white yarn and knit 54 more rows. Create 3 of these panels.

4. Long panels: E-wrap 9 pegs on the loom with the white yarn and knit 90 rows. Create 3 of these panels.

5. E-wrap 9 pegs on the loom with the red yarn and knit 90 rows. Create 3 of these panels.

6. Use the yarn needle and sew the stripes together to make blanket. Cut the 13 stars from felt and sew on with sewing thread and needle.

7. Note. When this blanket was first knit the designer knit the blue background using the Knifty Knitter Round Loom Yellow, all in one piece. Because the pegs on this loom are wider apart it knits a different gage than the blue loom, which the stripes were knit on. The pegs are closer together on the smaller loom. It was very hard to make the blanket sew together right, so we have changed the pattern and hope that you will enjoy creating this fun blanket.

Magic Fun Fur Scarf

Photos of the Magic Scarf Original Magic Scarf Pattern

This scarf was originally published in the Provo Craft instructional pamphlets with the Knifty Knitter green round loom. The pattern can also be made with the Boye or Darice brand orange round loom that is exactly the same size and has 36 pegs too. If you have the Readaeer round loom set, use the pink loom.  If you want a larger scarf, try using the Boye or Darice purple round loom. This one is called the extra large round loom. You can also substitute the Readaeer green loom.  The scarf is made with eyelash or fun fur yarn that gives it a fuzzy fun finish that any girl will love. I like to make them as Christmas gifts for the young ladies in my family. What you will need: Round Loom 3 skeins of Fun Fur Crochet hook size K Instructions: 1. Knit scarf using one strand of eyelash yarn (Fun Fur works great).

2. Knit around loom until scarf reaches desired length. (Make sure you leave about 7 yards on skein to finish scarf.)

3. Pull loop off the first peg onto a size K crochet hook. Chain two. Pull loop off 2nd peg. (You should now have two loops on your crochet hook.)

4. Keeping stitches VERY loose, single crochet (wrap yarn and pull through first loop, then wrap yarn and pull through both loops). Chain one.

5. Pull a loop off the next peg. Single crochet and chain one.

6. Continue around (single crochet, chain one) until all pegs are cleared.

7. Connect to the beginning of row with a secure knot. Cut end, leaving one inch.

This versatile scarf is easy to make on the Knifty Knitter and can be worn a variety of ways. Reach inside the scarf and it will stretch to several times its original size. Now it can be worn as a hood, cowl, or shawl.

Leg Warmers

This pattern is for leg warmers on the small, pink, long loom. The e wrap is used to knit back and forth to create a flat panel of knit. Change the color of the yarn after every 4 rows. After the panel is removed from the loom, it is sewn together. For a teen wrap all 26 pegs. This is a variation of a pattern originally published by Provo Craft. The red round loom can also be used to knit these leg warmers. (I prefer the red round loom because you don't get variations of gap between pegs like you do around the ends of the long looms.)


1. Holding 2 strands of the grey yarn as if they are one, cast on by e wrapping the loom one time.
2. E wrap the loom.
3. Knit.
4. Repeat steps 2 - 3 until you have knitted 4 rows. (When you reach the end peg, knit it twice. Once when you reach the end of the row and again when you start the next row.)
5. Change the color to 2 strands of red yarn and repeat steps 2 - 3 until you've knitted 4 rows.
6. Change the color to grey and repeat steps 2 - 3 until you've knitted 4 rows.
7. After you've knitted 7 red stripes and 8 grey stripes, you will have grey on the loom. Continue on with the 4 more grey rows, for a total of 8 rows to make the grey band.
8. Cast off the loom, by sewing through each loop. (Don't use a crochet cast on or off. It makes the ends to tight to stretch when the leg warmers are put on.)
9. Cut the working yarn to about 24 inches. Turn the grey band under (toward the side of the knit you don't want showing outward). Whip stitch it down to form a cuff.
10. Also with the side of the knit you don't want showing facing outward, sew a seam up the side of the knit.
11. Cut the working yarn and tie a square knot.
12. Turn the leg warmer right side out so the seams are no longer showing.
13. Repeat the steps above for the second leg warmer.

**Note: To make these for a toddler, use 14 pegs and knit a total of rows. 

Woven Top Hat Pattern for the Knifty Knitter Purple Hat Loom

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.

 

Beginner Scarf Pattern

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.

Golf Club Covers for the Blue Round Knifty Knitter Loom

This pattern is for golf club covers, a unique gift for your favorite golfer. You'll be using the e-wrap and any worsted weight yarn. You can change the yarn colors to create stripes as you knit.

• Blue Round Knifty Knitter Loom
• Worsted Weight Yarn
• Yarn Needle
• Pom Pom Maker

1. E-wrap the loom and knit until the length measures 4 inches. 
   
2. Pull the first row up to the pegs and place it back on the loom.
3. Knit. This creates a cuff.
4. E-wrap and knit for 5 1/2 more inches.

6. Change back to the original color and knit for 5 rows.
7. Change to white again and knit for 5 rows.
8. Change to the original color and knit 5 more inches. 
9. Use the gathered stitch to remove the work from the loom. To do this cut the working yarn to a length of 10 inches. Thread it through a yarn needle. Starting with the peg closest to the working yarn, thread it through each loop as you pull the loop off each peg. Continue
   
   
   working around the loom in this manner until you have all the loops removed. Pull the
   
   working yarn tight to gather the knit. Tie off the working yarn in a double knot and cut it to a few inches. Use the yarn needle to sew the remaining yarn tail into the under side of the golf club cover. 
10.  The gathered edge is the top of the golf club cover and you can add a pom pom if desired.

Note: As an alternative method of casting off you may cut a separate piece of yarn and passed it through the stitches as they are removed from the loom. Then square knot each end of this yarn on the inside of the cover.

For those of you that haven't made pom poms before, here is a tutorial for making them on the Knifty Knitter pom pom maker. You can use these methods without a pom pom maker by stretching them across a small loom. The pom pom maker just makes it a little easier.

• Yellow Long Loom (for a larger bag the green long loom can be used)
• Crochet Hook
• Elastic

1. E-wrap the entire loom.
2. Knit 10 rows.

How to Make Felted Flowers on a Knifty Knitter Spool Loom

These flowers are knitted using wool yarn and the small end of the spool loom. They are knitted as a long tube, approximately 25 inches in length. The tube is then sewn into a flower shape, then the flower is felted. It makes a pretty embellishment for a felted tote bag, or coat pin.

You will need:

• Spool Loom
• Yarn Needle
• Pattons Wool Yarn

1. E-wrap the small end of the spool loom with only one strand of yarn. 
2. Use the no wrap stitch (seen in the video below) for the remainder of the project. Knitting circularly around the spool loom until the knit reaches 25 inches.
3. Cut the working yarn and leave a 10 inch tail.
4. Use a regular needle and thread to sew the tube into the shape of petals. Zig zag the tube, securing it with thread in the center. The finished flower should have roughly 5 petals. 
5. You can sew a small loop of tube into the middle for the flower center. This is how the flower appears with a tube center.
6. Felt the flower by washing it in a washing machine and laying it flat to dry. If you have a high efficiency washing machine, check out these instructions for felting.
7. Embellish with buttons or other items for the center.
   
   For step by step instructions to sew the petals in place, see the ArtMind blog. Note: the flower in these instructions is made in the same design, but using a shorter tube, as it is not to be felted.

If you desire to dye the felted flowers, check out the instructions for dying felted wool with kool aid.

Felted Bag Made with the Knifty Knitter Long Yellow Loom and Spool Loom

The finished felted bag measures approximately 16 inches by 6 inches. This pattern uses Patons Classic Wool yarn.

1. E-wrap and knit 9 rows.
2. Bring the first row up and over the pegs. Knit off to form a brim. 
3. E-Wrap and Knit 42 more rows, changing the color of yarn as desired. (To change the color of yarn, leave a 3-4 inch tail on the yarn previous yarn and new yarn. Wrap the new yarn and knit as usual.)
4.  Knit the last 2 rows very loosely.
5. To finish, move all loops from one side of the loom to the other side. This closes the bottom of the bag.
6. Use a crochet cast off to remove the last loop from the loom. (Thread a contrasting color yarn through the loops to remove them from the loom. Insert a crochet hook through the first loop that was removed from the loom. Chain the contrasting yarn through the first loop. Chain again with the contrasting yarn. Chain the contrasting yarn through the second loop. Continue until all loops have been crocheted using the chain stitch with one additional chain stitch between each loop.
7. Use the spool loom and 2 strands of yarn to knit a tube approximately 50 inches long. Attach the tube at each edge of the bag to form a strap. 
8. Felt the bag by washing it in a machine with towels. Lay flat to dry.
