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. |

Patterned Hat
For Adult Size Hat Loom
Instructions |
1. Start at top of hat: E-wrap around the entire hat loom twice. Knit off (taking the bottom loop over top loop and peg). Repeat 2 more times. TIP: The e-wrap is a basic wrap of the yarn around the pegs. It crosses on the inside of the loom, and looks like a cursive lowercase e when viewed from above. |
2. Create patterned row: Take the loop on peg 1 and place it on peg 2. Knit off on peg 2 leaving peg 1 empty. Repeat with peg 3 and peg 4, taking the loop on peg 3, placing it on peg 4, and knitting off on peg 4. Continue this pattern around the loom, leaving every other peg empty. |
3. E-wrap the entire loom again, and then knit off on every other peg that has 2 loops on it. The loom will then have one loop on each peg. |
4. E-wrap and knit off 3 more rows. Then repeat steps 2 and 3. |
5. Continue knitting with desired pattern until hat is desired height. (We used 6 patterned rows total and ended with 3 knit rows.) |
6. Create brim: E-wrap twice around the loom and then knit off. Use the purl stitch on the next row (see instructions for Purl Stitch on the Knifty Knitter page). E-wrap and knit off the third row, and then purl stitch on the fourth row. Repeat this pattern, alternating e-wrapping and purl stitching for 4 more rows. |
7. Crochet the loops off of the loom using a loose chain stitch and keep it loose or otherwise it will be too tight (see instructions for Chain Stitch on the Knifty Knitter page). |

Pumpkin Patterns for the Knifty Knitter Looms
Instructions |
1. Pumpkin Body -- Use 2 or 3 strands of yarn to knit your pumpkins. |
2. Make them all different sizes*, tall or short by the number of rows you want to knit. Run a piece of yarn through all of the loops on the loom and pull tight (this is the bottom). --*(the size of pumpkin and number of rows will directly effect the time required to complete each pumpkin.) |
3. Make sure that you have a long enough piece left to pull up to the top of the pumpkin. |
4. Using the yarn needle thread with yarn and pick up the first loops of the piece and pull up, but do not tie. |
5. Use craft stuffing and fill up the body of the pumpkin. |
6. Do not over-fill the bodies. Tie the top off and pull up the yarn, running through the middle of the pumpkin. |
7. Stem and Leaf -- The leaf and stem can be made all together. Starting at the tip of the leaf, wrap on one loop and then add one stitch on each of the next 6 rows. |
8. Work even on these stitches for 4 rows. Start taking off stitches on the first of the next 4 rows. |
9. Knit even on the 3 stitches for 4 rows. Add 3 stitches on the next 2 rows and knit even on these 10 stitches for 14 rows. |
10. Cut the yarn that you are winding with about 20" and thread on yarn needle. |
11. Run the yarn through the loops on the pegs and sew up the sides of the stem. |
12. Stuff with a bit of stuffing and sew to the top of the pumpkin. Secure the leaf to the pumpkin. |
13. Face -- Use a hot glue gun to add buttons for mouth, nose, and eyes. |
