Patriotic Decoration

Instructions

1. This pattern takes a long time, but it can be done in steps and it does not seem so long. Place your finished pieces in a plastic bag to store between seasons.

2. This project is knit in the cable stitch where you use a single strand of knitting worsted yarn and e wrap three rows on the looms and then take the bottom row up and over the other 2 rows (One-over-two stitch). Add one row and take the bottom row over the 2 rows.

3. Start with the green loom and wrap all of the pegs on the loom, knit 30 rows."  Pull up the loops from the loom as you would if you were making a hat top."

4. Make sure that you leave a hole in the middle to put over the dowel."  Run a piece of yarn through the beginning stitches and pull them up tight. (leave a hole to put the dowel through).

5. I felt that this would be an easier way to show how to make the rings."  There are 15 knitted disks.

6. Green loom: Claret or red 30 rows. Aren or white 30 rows. Claret or red 27 rows Aren or white 27 rows

7. Red loom: Claret or red 30 rows Aren or white 27 rows Claret or red 24 rows Aren or white 21 rows

8. Blue loom: Claret or red 27 rows Aren or white 24 rows Claret or red 21 rows Aren or white 18 Claret or red 15 Soft navy or Royal Blue 15 rows Soft navy or Royal Blue 13 rows Soft navy or Royal Blue"  11 rows

9. Using the white or aren yarn in the middle of the knitted blue pieces do a cross stitch and a stitch through the middle of the X.

10. Stack the circles in order and top with the wooden star.

Time to Do: Couple Weeks

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.
