Snowman Pattern for the Round Looms

Instructions

1. Bottom Body Section: With 2 strands of white yarn, work on every peg of green loom, for approximately 10-12 inches.

2. When you have reached the desired length, cut your yarn about 15" away from the last peg and put your yarn needle on the strands of thread. Go around the loom picking up the yarn off each peg (starting with the first peg) until you have all the yarn off the pegs.

3. Draw up the yarn to leave an opening approximately 1-1"½" put the needle through the opening and slide the opening over the handle of the plunger. Pull the yarn snug. Whipstitch around in the loops surrounding the plunger handle. (Tacky Glue can be used here also, for extra durability-put the glue where the yarn and plunger handle meet on the inside of the project).

4. Stuff the bottom body section with polyfil to the desired fullness. Whipstitch the top closed around the plunger handle. (Apply more glue here if desired).

5. Middle Body Section: Repeat directions for "Bottom Body Section'? this time using the red loom and working approximately 9-11 inches.

6. Top Body Section Repeat directions for "Bottom Body Section'? this time using the blue loom and working approximately 11-13". When you whipstitch the top of this section closed it will not be around the plunger handle. You will draw it up tight and secure your stitches

7. This section looks a little abnormally long, but remember "½ of this section is covered by the hat, so you want it to be longer. You will sew (and/or glue) the face on after the hat is on.

8. Hat: Using the red loom, make a hat with brim and ball. To make the brim, work every peg with 2 strands of yarn for approximately 12-14 rows; pull the first stitch up on the pegs; knit off; continue working until your hat measures about 7" or so.

9. When you reach 7" , cut the yarn about 15" away from the last peg and put your yarn needle on the threads and pick up the loops from around the pegs. Pulling tightly, take your needle through to the center of the hat. Whipstitch a couple of stitches to secure the hat. Make a pom-pom to put on top of the hat using a pom-pom maker.

10. Scarf: Using any loom work the panel stitch for 5 pegs with 2 strands of the same yarn used for the hat. (When doing the panel stitch, the end pegs only get knitted off every other row.) The scarf is approx. 24-25" long (before fringe)

11. Bind off; following directions in the Knifty Knitter Slim Jim. Add fringe to the bottom of the scarf by cutting pieces of the yarn approximately 6" and pull 2 strands (folded in half) through the bottom of the scarf every "½'? or so, using a crochet hook. Pull the ends of the fringe through the loop made by the crochet hook. Snug down and trim the fringe if needed. ENJOY!!

Instructions

1. Use 2 strands of yarn as one for the complete project. Using the Knifty Knitter Round Loom Red (and all 31 pegs), panel knit four panels of knitting using the e-wrap. Knit first panel: blue yarn for 48 rows, white yarn for 10 rows, pink yarn for 48 rows, white yarn for 10 rows, green yarn for 48 rows, white yarn for 10 rows, and then yellow yarn for 48 rows.

2. Knit second panel: pink yarn for 48 rows, white yarn for 10 rows, green yarn for 48 rows, white yarn for 10 rows, yellow yarn for 48 rows, white yarn for 10 rows, and then blue yarn for 48 rows.

3. Knit third panel: green yarn for 48 rows, white yarn for 10 rows, yellow yarn for 48 rows, white yarn for 10 rows, blue yarn for 48 rows, white yarn for 10 rows, and pink yarn for 48 rows.

4. Knit fourth panel: yellow yarn for 48 rows, white yarn for 10 rows, blue yarn for 48 rows, white yarn for 10 rows, pink yarn for 48 rows, white yarn for 10 rows, and then green yarn for 48 rows.

5. Lay first and second panels face-up on a flat surface. Connect with a mattress stitch to hook them together. To use the mattress stitch, line up the matching white sections from the two panels. Thread a long strand of white yarn through your yarn needle. With the edges of the two panels side by side, sew with the yarn needle through the loops on either edge. Pull tight once you have sewn up the gap between the panels, knot, and weave any ends into the panels.

6. Using the yarn needle and the ribbon, sew over the seam. Sew in about every fifth row of knitting. You will be sewing one strand of ribbon one way, and then using a second strand of ribbon to sew the opposite direction (see close-up picture). Tie a bow on each end of the rows

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.
