Bunny Tote

What you will need: Provo Craft Supplies: Knifty Knitter loom small (blue) Other Supplies: 1 Skein Baby Clouds Yarn by Red Heart Yarn (color of your choice) 1 Skein Fun Fur by Lion Brand Yarn (color of your choice) 18" of 1/4" or 1/2" satin ribbon your choice of color Glue gun and glue sticks 2 white pompoms for cheeks (or use the Knifty Knitter pom-pom maker) 1 small pink pom-pom for the nose Pink blush or pastel chalk 2 wiggle eyes 1" x 1" fun foam for teeth (optional) Instructions:

1. Purse Body: For this project, take the end of each of the two yarns and e wrap the blue round loom with them as if they were a single strand of yarn. Knit in a spiral until you have 8" of tube knitting on the loom. End with only one loop on each peg.

2.  Cut the yarn, leaving a 12 inch tail. Thread on a needle and pull through the loops on the pegs.

3.  Take the loops off the pegs. Pull the yarn tail tight. This will gather all the stitches to make the bottom of the bag. Do a couple of slip stitches in the bottom to tie off.

4. Ears: Wrap the yarn on 5 pegs and work back and forth, using these five pegs until you have knitted 7 inches.

5. Remove in the same method as the purse. Tie off. The top of the ears will be the tied-off end. -- Make 2 of these.

6. Handle: Use the same method, but only 3 pegs.

7. Work back and forth on these 3 pegs until you have 12 inches for short handle or 48 inches for long handle (remember that the handle may stretch, so you can make it a little shorter).

8. Sewing the parts together: Laying the purse flat, pin one side of the handle to the left inside top of the bag.

9. Pin the other side to the right inside top of bag.

10. Using only the Baby Cloud yarn, thread the needle and sew handle ends in place.

11. Place each ear next to the front of each handle; pin and sew in place.

12. Thread the ribbon on the needle and sew 1 inch from the top, starting in the center front and sewing completely around the bag.

13. This makes a draw-string effect to close the purse.

14. Pom-poms: Using the Knifty Knitter Pom-pom maker, you can choose the size you would like for the nose and the cheeks.

15. Glue the cheeks on using the glue gun and placing them close together. Glue the pink pom-pom in the middle of the cheek pom-poms. Joan Toczek knitted this adorable bunny tote and photographed her beautiful granddaughter holding it. She embroidered the eyes and made the teeth of folded over ribbon. She used pom poms for the cheeks and nose. Joan says that in a larger size, these would make great bags to carry Easter eggs for an egg hunt.

Rectangle Shawl

Instructions

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.

2. Knit until you have about 50 inches of knitting or until you have used all of the mohair yarn. When crocheting the loops off of the loom, leave about 3 yards to crochet the loops off

3. Make the crocheting very very loose. Add 7 inch pieces of yarn for fringe. This project uses 3 strands in each fringe group.

4. The top of the shawl is the end with the 3 beginning stitches. These stitches pull the shawl together and make it hang on the shoulders.

5. Hook together with a cord or a brooch.

6. Wear for a special day or give as a great gift.

Instructions

1. Using one strand of yarn and starting with the Red yarn, e wrap all of the pegs on the green loom. Turn and wrap back to the first peg, then turn and go back one more time to make 3 rows of loops on the pegs.

2. Knit 1 loop over the top 2 loops. Wrap 1 more row on the pegs (this makes 3 rows again) and knit 1 over 2. (This is the stitch pattern for the complete project.)

3. Knit 6 rows, then switch to White yarn and knit 6 more rows. Repeat 2 more times, alternating between Red and White yarn, for a total of 6 long stripes.

4. Start wrapping the Navy yarn at the beginning peg (counter clockwise) and wrap to peg #18, then turn on peg #18 and wrap back to peg #1.

5. On the other end, add the Claret yarn and wrap to the #18 peg; go around #18 and wrap back to the #36 peg. Continue making the Navy field and changing the Claret and Aren yarns for the stripes every 6 rows. End with the Red row and a total of 13 stripes.

6. To take the knitting off of the loom, knit the loops off so that you end up with only one loop on each peg.

7. Using a crochet hook, take the first 2 loops off the pegs and pull the second loop through the first loop.

8. Take the loop from the third peg and pull it through the second loop. Continue until you have taken all of the loops from the loom.

9. To make the stars, use a yarn needle and make an X stitch, then make another stitch from the center of the X and up between the middle of the X stitch.

10. Napkin rings are made with the green loom, using 2 strands of yarn. Wrap 3 pegs and knit back and forth for 15 rows. Stitch the 2 ends together. Tie a small bow using the red yarn and glue to a 1'? wooden star. Glue the star to the stitched together napkin ring.
