Knifty Knitter Tassel Shawl

Provo Craft Tools

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.

1. Using one strand of each yarn, e wrap the first 3 pegs and skip the next peg, wrap the next and skip the next peg. Continue until you have filled up the complete hoop.

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.
What you will need.

Water Wave Shawl

Knifty Knitter 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.
12. Put fringe on scarf and tie the ends of the yarn so that it can't unravel.
