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.

Increase Stitch

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1: Knit to the end of the row.
Step 2: Wrap the peg that you have been turning on and then wrap the next peg to make it the turning peg.
Note: You can add stitches on either end of the loom.
Also, you can add two stitches by wrapping two pegs past the peg you have been turning on, and so on.

How to Panel Knit

INSTRUCTIONS

Single panel knitting is the method of knitting that creates a single "sheet" of fabric instead of a "tube" of fabric. One can also double panel knit to create a thick flat "sheet." For single panel knit, you work back and forth.
Step 1: "E-wrap" yarn around pegs (wrapping loops that look like several cursive lowercase e's — notice that the yarn crosses on the inside of the loom, the wrapping is done by going in a clockwise direction) until you have one loop on each peg (or until desired width is reached).
Step 2: Turn at last peg. This peg is also referred to as a "turning" peg. This is done by taking the yarn to the outside of the loom and wrap the last peg (or turning peg) in a counter-clockwise direction. Wrap second loop around second to last peg, continue to wrap pegs in opposite direction as the first row, etc.
Step 3: Continue wrapping rest of pegs back to first peg.
Step 4: Knit off (lifting bottom loop over top loop) and continue wrapping and knitting off back and forth until fabric is desired length.
