Backpack

Instructions

1. Using the yellow loom and using only one strand of yarn, wrap loom as picture shows. (Diagram #1)

2. Thread a yarn needle and starting as close to the center as possible, start to weave over and under, every 2 threads. (Diagram #2)

3. As you go around, you are weaving on an odd number of pegs (41 pegs). When you get back to the starting point, you will be going opposite over and under. (If you went over the first time you will be going under this row.)

4. Continue until you have as many rows as you can weave on the loom. It needs to be tight, but not too tight.

5. Leave the loops on the loom and wrap one more row on the loom. Knit the bottom loops over and continue knitting until your bag measures 17" or 55 rows of knitting. Crochet the loops from the loom loosely.

6. If you have to add yarn, be sure that you tie the new piece or pieces on inside the bag.

7. Measure 3 pieces of yarn 6' long and braid for the tie closer. Count down from the top of the bag 5 rows. Now weave the long braided piece in and out of the rows of knitting.

8. Using leather strips, braid them together and hook on to the bag as shown in diagram #3. Add your favorite possessions and you are on your way.

Yarn needle 2 skeins of Lion Brand Yarn CHUNKY USA (National Parks Green) Any bulky weight 5 yarn may be substituted.

Matching Hat and Scarf

Instructions
1. Scarf: Using the blue round loom, start with a yellow strand and a blue strand and continue to knit 10 rows. Then switch to both strands being yellow for another 10 rows, doing the same with two blue strands for another 10 rows. Because the yarn is corrugated your colors will vary in shade. Finish with 19 sections of color (19 sections of 10 rows a piece). This leaves you with a very thick tube scarf. For something a little less stiff use only one strand of yarn. Add fringe to the ends to give it a little more character or sew the ends together to close off the opening!
2. Double-sided hat: The key to making a double-sided hat is to make sure that you have the same amount of rows on both sides so that the designs do not overlap or show on the wrong side. Using the green loom, start by doing one strand of each color on one side. This consisted of 40 rows. Then begin the other side of the hat with two strands of yellow, which consisted of 10 rows. Switching to two strands of blue and knit 8 rows. Then switch to yellow, making 7 rows, and again blue with 8 rows. Finish with yellow making 7 rows. To close the hat off, used a blue strand of blue yarn to leave a fun little ring on the top of the hat. Note that this is a very big hat. It will be necessary to decide how many rows you will need to make a hat your size. Something else to keep in mind is that the color you finish with on your loom will become the top of your hat and NOT the rim. If you end up making the hat too large just roll it and have a brim! Enjoy!!!

Horizontal Striped Hat

Instructions

1. Note: you may want to use the Green Loom which is the size that more adults make their hats, but the sample shown is an ex-large.

2. Using one strand each of Ranch Red and Burgundy knit 20 rows and make a brim, by pulling the first row back up on the pegs and knitting them over.

3. Pattern for the rest of the project: Change to the Spring Green and using 2 strands of yarn knit 5 rows, change to the Delft Blue and using 2 strands of yarn knit 5 rows.

4. Change to the Ranch Red and Burgundy and knit 15 rows. Repeat these three colors until you have 5 sets of knitting.

5. Finishing: Crochet the loops from the loom and sew the top flat.

6. Cut 7" pieces of yarn and using 6 pieces make fringe. Do one bunch of blue then a bunch of green across the top of the hat.

7. This is a very warm hat and scarf for those cold winter days. This project takes a little longer than most, but it is worth the time spent.
