Leg Warmers with Stripes

Knifty Knitter Striped Leg Warmers


Instructions
1. Note: This set of warmers was made from the classic wool. They are nice and warm and the knitting looks great. Be aware, however, that when the wool is washed it might shrink. If you want them to stay the size that you have made them, they will have to be dry-cleaned.
2. 1. Using two strands of Natural Mix yarn as one, e-wrap (wrapping loops on pegs that look like series of lowercase e’s) two times around loom and knit off (pulling bottom loop over top loop and peg).
3. 2. Knit 10 rows and carefully reach inside loom and place loops from first row back over pegs. This makes brim or cuff for top of the leg warmer. Knit this row.
4. 3. Continue knitting until leg warmer is 14" long (or desired length) using following pattern: 6 rows Rich Red yarn Next 4 rows Natural Mix yarn Next 4 rows Rich Red yarn Next 4 rows Natural Mix yarn Next 4 rows Rich Red yarn Next 4 rows Natural Mix yarn Next 4 rows Rich Red yarn Next 4 rows Natural Mix yarn Next 4 rows Rich Red yarn Next 4 rows Natural Mix yarn Next 4 rows Rich Red yarn Next 4 rows Natural Mix yarn Next 6 rows Rich Red yarn Next 6 rows Natural Mix yarn

Knifty Knitter Flag Blanket

Knifty Knitter Flag Blanket
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 in 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.

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 gauge 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.

Backpack

Instructions for backpackknifty knitter backpack pattern
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.

Matching Hat and Scarf


Knifty Knitter Matching Hat and Scarf
Instructions
1. Scarf: Using the blue round loom, start with a yellow strand and a blue strand and continue to knit 10 rows. Then switch to both strands being yellow for another 10 rows, doing the same with two blue strands for another 10 rows. Because the yarn is corrugated your colors will vary in shade. Finish with 19 sections of color (19 sections of 10 rows a piece). This leaves you with a very thick tube scarf. For something a little less stiff use only one strand of yarn. Add fringe to the ends to give it a little more character or sew the ends together to close off the opening!

2.
 Double-sided hat: The key to making a double-sided hat is to make sure that you have the same amount of rows on both sides so that the designs do not overlap or show on the wrong side. Using the green loom, start by doing one strand of each color on one side. This consisted of 40 rows. Then begin the other side of the hat with two strands of yellow, which consisted of 10 rows. Switching to two strands of blue and knit 8 rows. Then switch to yellow, making 7 rows, and again blue with 8 rows. Finish with yellow making 7 rows. To close the hat off, used a blue strand of blue yarn to leave a fun little ring on the top of the hat. Note that this is a very big hat. It will be necessary to decide how many rows you will need to make a hat your size. Something else to keep in mind is that the color you finish with on your loom will become the top of your hat and NOT the rim. If you end up making the hat too large just roll it and have a brim! Enjoy!!!

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.

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.

Knifty Knitter Bunny Purse

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.

Short Shrug

Knifty Knitter Shrug
Instructions
1. Body of shrug: Using 2 strands of yarn, wrap around the peg on the outside of the loom, leaving about 3 to 4 inches of tail hanging from the tack. This is your starting point.
2. Wrap the yarn counter clock wise around each peg, traveling in a clockwise direction; reverse on the last peg and wrap back to the first peg. Hold the loom so you are looking at the tack and the pegs are pointing upward.
3. Now using the hook tool, pick up the bottom loop or wrap of yarn and take over the top loop.
4. Wrap and knit until you have the length you would like for your shrug. To determine the size of the shrug, measure from your elbow, across the shoulders, and back to the elbow, for the main part of the shrug.
5. Removing: With a crochet hook, take the first loop from the peg and crochet, using the wrapping yarn through the loop.
6. Do a single crochet (wrap the yarn over the hook and draw the yarn through the loop on the hook) in between each of the loops on the pegs.

Multi Colored Shawl

Knifty Knitter Shalw
Instructions
1. This project can be as crazy as you want to go. You could use multiple colors or stay in the same color family. I'm always a little scared to try really far out combinations, but when I do, I really get a lot of comments.
2. Cut yarn in 3 yard pieces and arrange into the pattern of your choice. Each piece of yarn will make 2 rows of knitting.
3. First row: Using 2 of the 36" pieces of yarn, measure 18" of yarn and wrap around the peg on the outside of the loom. Wrap the last peg on the loom and turn around and go back to the first peg. Knit this row. There should be a 18" piece left on the end for the fringe.
4. Using the yarn of choice measure 18" and wrap around the peg on the outside and wrap the pegs. Knit and wrap back to the first peg. After the rows are started you can unwrap the yarn from the peg on the side of the loom.
5. After you have knit several rows you can go to the starting end and tie the 4 ends in a square knot. I used 2 strands of knitting worsted and one strand of knitting worsted and one strand of fun fur to knit together.
6. To take off of the loom cut the yarn pieces longer, measure off the 18" fringe piece and wrap and knit. When you have turned to go back, using the yarn single crochet the looms from the loom. You will need to crochet this side off very loose. Try to do both sides the same, tension.
7. The sample is 45" long, (you can make it as long as you would like). When you have done this shawl you will have the fringe finished too. Is that not great.
8. I made a square braid rope to hold the 2 corner together. Using 2 strands of the one main color, wrap 2 of the pegs on the loom in a figure 8 design knitting over the bottom loop when you have 2 loops on the pegs.
9. I knit this 15" long and tied on a tassel that is 6'? long. Thread the rope part of the knitting through the front corner of the shawl and sew on the corner of the back corner side of the shawl.

Fuzzy Shrug

Knifty Knitter Shrug Pattern
Instructions
1. You will be using the yellow round loom and 2 yarns - 1 Fun Fur and 1 Sparkle. If you decide to make a different colored shrug, use a yarn that coordinates with the fun fur.
2. E wrap the full loom with the 2 yarns, turning on the last peg and coming back to the first peg. Continue wrapping and knitting until you have 6 inches of knitting.
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.
5. When you have knitted the desired length, add your fun fur back and discontinue one of the coordinating threads. Using both of the yarns knit the cuff for this end of the shrug. (This will be the brim for the second sleeve). Take the knitting off of the loom using the crochet hook and using single crochet Take the end of your sleeve and fold it and stitch it closed with the yarn to match the first sleeve end.

Black Spider for the Yellow Loom

3. Legs: Make 8. Using the yellow loom, knit back and forth on 8 pegs for 47 rows and leave a long piece of yarn on the winding peg to sew up the legs. Take each leg off the loom as you would a hat. Fold legs horizontally and sew up
4. Take each leg, fold in half, then whip stitch for a fold or bend in the leg. Turn spider over and sew four legs on each side.
5. Hot glue two large wiggly eyes on top of spider near the front. (Use the size eyes you like, spiders have small eyes, but larger eyes show up better)
6. Note from Clella: This spider would be way cute if you used one strand of fun fur to make it hairy. Sit Samuel in the pumpkin patch of knitted pumpkins from our web-site here at Provo Craft. Have a Happy Halloween!
