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.

Snowman Pattern for the Round Looms

Instructions

1. Bottom Body Section: With 2 strands of white yarn, work on every peg of green loom, for approximately 10-12 inches.

2. When you have reached the desired length, cut your yarn about 15" away from the last peg and put your yarn needle on the strands of thread. Go around the loom picking up the yarn off each peg (starting with the first peg) until you have all the yarn off the pegs.

3. Draw up the yarn to leave an opening approximately 1-1"½" put the needle through the opening and slide the opening over the handle of the plunger. Pull the yarn snug. Whipstitch around in the loops surrounding the plunger handle. (Tacky Glue can be used here also, for extra durability-put the glue where the yarn and plunger handle meet on the inside of the project).

4. Stuff the bottom body section with polyfil to the desired fullness. Whipstitch the top closed around the plunger handle. (Apply more glue here if desired).

5. Middle Body Section: Repeat directions for "Bottom Body Section'? this time using the red loom and working approximately 9-11 inches.

6. Top Body Section Repeat directions for "Bottom Body Section'? this time using the blue loom and working approximately 11-13". When you whipstitch the top of this section closed it will not be around the plunger handle. You will draw it up tight and secure your stitches

7. This section looks a little abnormally long, but remember "½ of this section is covered by the hat, so you want it to be longer. You will sew (and/or glue) the face on after the hat is on.

8. Hat: Using the red loom, make a hat with brim and ball. To make the brim, work every peg with 2 strands of yarn for approximately 12-14 rows; pull the first stitch up on the pegs; knit off; continue working until your hat measures about 7" or so.

9. When you reach 7" , cut the yarn about 15" away from the last peg and put your yarn needle on the threads and pick up the loops from around the pegs. Pulling tightly, take your needle through to the center of the hat. Whipstitch a couple of stitches to secure the hat. Make a pom-pom to put on top of the hat using a pom-pom maker.

10. Scarf: Using any loom work the panel stitch for 5 pegs with 2 strands of the same yarn used for the hat. (When doing the panel stitch, the end pegs only get knitted off every other row.) The scarf is approx. 24-25" long (before fringe)

11. Bind off; following directions in the Knifty Knitter Slim Jim. Add fringe to the bottom of the scarf by cutting pieces of the yarn approximately 6" and pull 2 strands (folded in half) through the bottom of the scarf every "½'? or so, using a crochet hook. Pull the ends of the fringe through the loop made by the crochet hook. Snug down and trim the fringe if needed. ENJOY!!

Knit first panel: blue yarn for 48 rows, white yarn for 10 rows, pink yarn for 48 rows, white yarn for 10 rows, green yarn for 48 rows, white yarn for 10 rows, and then yellow yarn for 48 rows.

2. Knit second panel: pink yarn for 48 rows, white yarn for 10 rows, green yarn for 48 rows, white yarn for 10 rows, yellow yarn for 48 rows, white yarn for 10 rows, and then blue yarn for 48 rows.

3. Knit third panel: green yarn for 48 rows, white yarn for 10 rows, yellow yarn for 48 rows, white yarn for 10 rows, blue yarn for 48 rows, white yarn for 10 rows, and pink yarn for 48 rows.

5. Lay first and second panels face-up on a flat surface. Connect with a mattress stitch to hook them together. To use the mattress stitch, line up the matching white sections from the two panels. Thread a long strand of white yarn through your yarn needle. With the edges of the two panels side by side, sew with the yarn needle through the loops on either edge. Pull tight once you have sewn up the gap between the panels, knot, and weave any ends into the panels.

6. Using the yarn needle and the ribbon, sew over the seam. Sew in about every fifth row of knitting. You will be sewing one strand of ribbon one way, and then using a second strand of ribbon to sew the opposite direction (see close-up picture). Tie a bow on each end of the rows

Old Glory Blanket

Time to Do: Couple Weeks
Level: Intermediate

This project measures 40.5" x 60" -- This project is done in panels and can be easily taken with you in your travels.

Instructions

1. You will be using 2 strands of yarn as one throughout the entire project.

2. Split panels: Use the Knifty Knitter Round Loom Blue and 2 strands of blue yarn to e-wrap 9 pegs. Wrap these 9 pegs then knit back and forth for 36 rows. Change to the red yarn and knit 54 more rows. Create 4 of these panels.

3. E-wrap the loom with the blue yarn and knit 36 rows then change to the white yarn and knit 54 more rows. Create 3 of these panels.

4. Long panels: E-wrap 9 pegs on the loom with the white yarn and knit 90 rows. Create 3 of these panels.

5. E-wrap 9 pegs on the loom with the red yarn and knit 90 rows. Create 3 of these panels.

6. Use the yarn needle and sew the stripes together to make blanket. Cut the 13 stars from felt and sew on with sewing thread and needle.

7. Note. When this blanket was first knit the designer knit the blue background using the Knifty Knitter Round Loom Yellow, all in one piece. Because the pegs on this loom are wider apart it knits a different gage than the blue loom, which the stripes were knit on. The pegs are closer together on the smaller loom. It was very hard to make the blanket sew together right, so we have changed the pattern and hope that you will enjoy creating this fun blanket.

Magic Fun Fur Scarf

Photos of the Magic Scarf Original Magic Scarf Pattern

This scarf was originally published in the Provo Craft instructional pamphlets with the Knifty Knitter green round loom. The pattern can also be made with the Boye or Darice brand orange round loom that is exactly the same size and has 36 pegs too. If you have the Readaeer round loom set, use the pink loom.  If you want a larger scarf, try using the Boye or Darice purple round loom. This one is called the extra large round loom. You can also substitute the Readaeer green loom.  The scarf is made with eyelash or fun fur yarn that gives it a fuzzy fun finish that any girl will love. I like to make them as Christmas gifts for the young ladies in my family. What you will need: Round Loom 3 skeins of Fun Fur Crochet hook size K Instructions: 1. Knit scarf using one strand of eyelash yarn (Fun Fur works great).

2. Knit around loom until scarf reaches desired length. (Make sure you leave about 7 yards on skein to finish scarf.)

3. Pull loop off the first peg onto a size K crochet hook. Chain two. Pull loop off 2nd peg. (You should now have two loops on your crochet hook.)

4. Keeping stitches VERY loose, single crochet (wrap yarn and pull through first loop, then wrap yarn and pull through both loops). Chain one.

5. Pull a loop off the next peg. Single crochet and chain one.

6. Continue around (single crochet, chain one) until all pegs are cleared.

7. Connect to the beginning of row with a secure knot. Cut end, leaving one inch.

This versatile scarf is easy to make on the Knifty Knitter and can be worn a variety of ways. Reach inside the scarf and it will stretch to several times its original size. Now it can be worn as a hood, cowl, or shawl.
