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.

    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
    5. 4. Using crochet hook, take first two loops off loom and pull second loop through first. Continue on around to take all loops off loom.
    6. 5. Knit second leg warmer using directions above. Add beads, button, bells, or whatever you would like to decorate.

    Stuffed Bunny Rabbit

    Knifty Knitter Bunny Pattern
    Instructions
    1. Using three loops, taking one loop over two loops, create the legs using only one side of the pink loom. Start in the center on the pink loom (6 pegs from the edge of the loom) and go around the corner to the center or 6th peg from the edge on the other side. Create a leg that is 5.5 inches long. Knot and cut the string, but do not remove the leg from the loom.
    2. Begin knitting on the other side of the loom to create the other 5.5-inch long leg.
    3. When finished, begin knitting all the way around the loom to create an 11-inch long tube. The head will be 5.5 inches and the body will be 5.5 inches long.
    4. Sew through each loop and gather all the loops tightly together at the top with the yarn needle and knot. Turn the bunny inside out.
    5. Create the arms by using 10 pegs and knitting back and forth until you have 4 inches. Gather the loops together and sew up the side of the arm. Turn inside out. Stuff with stuffing. Create two.
    6. Stuff the head of the rabbit by creating a ball of stuffing the size of a large softball. Create a small baseball amount of stuffing for the snout. Sew 5.5 inches down around the neck and pull to desired look. Add ribbon to the neck. Stuff the body as desired. Add a pom-pom to the back for a tail.
    7. Gather up the bottom of the leg by sewing in and out through each bottom loop, pull tight and knot. Sew up the leg, stuff both legs with stuffing, and sew down the other leg and gather the bottom of the leg, knot, and hide threads in bunny leg.
    8. Sew an oval around the baseball amount of stuffing in the face. With the pink embroidery floss sew an upside down triangle with a line coming down the middle ending in a smile. The eyes are three buttons sewn together.
    9. Sew the arms on just below the neck on each side by sewing in the arm and into the body all the way around the arm.
    10. The ears are created by using 7 pegs and knitting for 8 inches, then reducing the two ends to 5 pegs and knitting two more rows, then reducing the ends to 3 pegs and knitting for two more rows, and finally reducing to one peg and pulling the thread through and knotting the yarn. It is optional, but you can sew on pink material to the ribbed side of the ears before sewing the ears on the bunny head.

    Leg Warmers

    Knifty Knitter 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.

    Beginner Scarf Pattern

    This beginner scarf can be done on any of the long looms. The scarf is a good project for beginners to get a feel for loom knitting. Like any flat, one panel knit, the edges of this scarf will curl a bit. That can be minimized by wrapping the pegs loosely.

    You will need:
    • A Knifty Knitter Long Loom
    • Knifty Knitter Hook
    • Lion Brand Jiffy Yarn




    1. Secure the yarn to the anchor peg at the end of the loom.
    2. Ewrap the loom to the 12th peg.
    3. Reverse direction and wrap the loom back to the 1st peg.
    4. Knit off using the hook.
    5. Wrap the loom again.
    6. Continue wrapping and knitting until the scarf measures 50 inches.
    7. Cast off the loom. 
    8. Cut 12 inch peices of yarn and tie fringe to the ends of the scarf.

    How to Knit a Pot Holder / Hot Pad on a Knifty Knitter Loom

    This is a good first project for new loom knitters, because it is quick and easy. It will help to enforce the basic steps of loom knitting. The pot holders also make nice gifts. The pattern uses the no wrap (flat stockinette) stitch knitted as a spiral continuously around the pink loom. This spiral knitting creates a tube of knit. Before you remove the knit from the loom, pull the bottom up and sew through the loops to sew it closed.

    What you'll need:
    • Pink long Knifty Knitter loom
    • 1 skein multi-color medium weight yarn
    • yarn needle
    • Knifty Knitter hook
    • Crochet hook
    1. E wrap around the loom once.
    2. Working in a continuous spiral around the loom, knit 40 rows using the no wrap stitch.
    3. Reach down through the middle of the loom and pull up the bottom. Using a yarn needle and spare yarn, sew the bottom together. Push the bottom back into the loom.
    4. Cast off using the crochet cast off by following the path of the yarn.
    5. Using a crochet hook, crochet the top of the pot holder together using a slip stitch, or single crochet stitch.
    6. When you are finished, chain a small loop for hanging the pot holder.
    Typically, I prefer yarns made from natural fibers, but this is one project that I would definitely recommend yarn from a synthetic fiber, such as polyester, or acrylic. Natural fibers "breathe" and conduct heat more readily. Synthetic fibers are better at blocking the heat and keeping it away from your hands and table tops.
