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.

Short Shrug

Instructions

1. Body of shrug: Using 2 strands of yarn, wrap around the peg on the outside of the loom, leaving about 3 to 4 inches of tail hanging from the tack. This is your starting point.

2. Wrap the yarn counter clock wise around each peg, traveling in a clockwise direction; reverse on the last peg and wrap back to the first peg. Hold the loom so you are looking at the tack and the pegs are pointing upward.

3. Now using the hook tool, pick up the bottom loop or wrap of yarn and take over the top loop.

4. Wrap and knit until you have the length you would like for your shrug. To determine the size of the shrug, measure from your elbow, across the shoulders, and back to the elbow, for the main part of the shrug.

5. Removing: With a crochet hook, take the first loop from the peg and crochet, using the wrapping yarn through the loop.

6. Do a single crochet (wrap the yarn over the hook and draw the yarn through the loop on the hook) in between each of the loops on the pegs.

7. Cut the yarn attached and pull it all the way through the loop on the crochet hook. Pull it tight for a complete knot.

8. Cuff: Use the small loom (blue). Wrap completely around the loom and knit a circle for the cuff the length you would desire. Remove with a crochet hook the same as for the body of the shrug. You will need 2 of these. (Make sure they are the same size.)

9. Completion: Turn your shrug wrong-side out and using your same yarn, crochet both sides together to your desired length for the arms. Leave the ends open for your cuffs.

10. Turn the cuffs wrong side and crochet to the shrug. Seams may be pressed with steam from an iron, but DO NOT LET IRON TOUCH the shrug. Hand wash gentle.

What you will need.

Multi Colored Shawl

Instructions

1. This project can be as crazy as you want to go. You could use multiple colors or stay in the same color family. I'm always a little scared to try really far out combinations, but when I do, I really get a lot of comments.

2. Cut yarn in 3 yard pieces and arrange into the pattern of your choice. Each piece of yarn will make 2 rows of knitting.

3. First row: Using 2 of the 36" pieces of yarn, measure 18" of yarn and wrap around the peg on the outside of the loom. Wrap the last peg on the loom and turn around and go back to the first peg. Knit this row. There should be a 18" piece left on the end for the fringe.

4. Using the yarn of choice measure 18" and wrap around the peg on the outside and wrap the pegs. Knit and wrap back to the first peg. After the rows are started you can unwrap the yarn from the peg on the side of the loom.

5. After you have knit several rows you can go to the starting end and tie the 4 ends in a square knot. I used 2 strands of knitting worsted and one strand of knitting worsted and one strand of fun fur to knit together.

6. To take off of the loom cut the yarn pieces longer, measure off the 18" fringe piece and wrap and knit. When you have turned to go back, using the yarn single crochet the looms from the loom. You will need to crochet this side off very loose. Try to do both sides the same, tension.

7. The sample is 45" long, (you can make it as long as you would like). When you have done this shawl you will have the fringe finished too. Is that not great.

8. I made a square braid rope to hold the 2 corner together. Using 2 strands of the one main color, wrap 2 of the pegs on the loom in a figure 8 design knitting over the bottom loop when you have 2 loops on the pegs.

9. I knit this 15" long and tied on a tassel that is 6'? long. Thread the rope part of the knitting through the front corner of the shawl and sew on the corner of the back corner side of the shawl.
