Christmas Stocking Pattern for the Knifty Knitter Red Round Loom

This pattern makes a large Christmas stocking to hold plenty of toys from Santa.

What you will need:

• Red Round Knifty Knitter Loom
• Red Yarn
• Dark Green Yarn

1. Using 2 strands of red yarn as if they are one, ewrap all pegs on the red loom twice.
2. Knit a row.
3. Ewrap one more row and knit. Continue until the knit reaches 6.5 inches.
4. Pull the first row of knit up through the inside of the loom and place it on the pegs. Knit. (This creates a cuff on the top of the stocking.
5. Change the yarn color to 2 strands of green. Knit 29 rows, or approximately 8 inches.
6. The next few steps will create the heel of the stocking. Change the yarn color back to 2 strands of red. Wrap to the 15th peg. Knit. Wrap back to peg 1. Knit.
7. Remove the loops from peg 1 and 2. Pull 2 through 1. Place the loop back on peg 2.
   Remove the loops from peg 14 and 15. Pull 15 through 14. Place the loop back on peg 14.
8. Ewrap the heel pegs and knit.
9. Continue to decrease the width of the knit by pulling the loops at the edge of the knit through the previous loop before knitting. (Loop 2 through 3, and loop 13 through 14.) When you've done this 3 times, you will have 3 empty pegs on each side.
10. With the remaining 9 pegs, knit four rows.
11. Now, you'll begin to add stitches, or increase stitch. Each time you knit to the end of a row, add a stitch to an empty peg. When you've done this six times, all the empty pegs will be filled. 
12. Using the green yarn, knit 27 more full rounds. 
13. Change to the red yarn and knit 10 rows. This is the toe of the stocking.
14. Run the working yarn through all the loops on the loom to remove them one by one. Pull the working yarn tight to cinch closed the toe of the stocking. Tie off the yarn.
15. Turn the stocking inside out and use the remaining yarn to stitch the two sides of the heel closed.

Dish Cloths on a Blue Round Knifty Knitter Loom

2. Pull the bottom loop on each peg over the two loops above.
3. Two loops will remain on the loom. Wrap once again and repeat step 2.
4. Continue wrapping a row and knitting until the knit is about 9 inches.
5. Use the panel stitch cast off to remove the knit from the loom. Begin at the end farthest away from the working yarn. Remove 2 loops. Using a crochet hook, pull the 2nd to the last loop through the last loop. Lift off the 3rd loop, pull the 3rd loop through the 2nd loop. Continue until you've reached the working yarn. Tie a square knot around the last loop.

How to Felt and Dye Wool Using KoolAid

Loom knitted items can be felted. This gives the knit the appearance of a flat piece of felt fabric, rather than knit. To felt an item, use classic wool yarn. The Pattons brand works well for felting. Knit the item much larger than the finished garment. Wash in a machine, or soak in hot water to felt and shrink the item, then lay flat to dry. Here are the instructions for felting an already knitted bag and dying it with KoolAid:

1. Use Pattons wool yarn in Winter White (or other white wool yarn) to make the knitted bag.
2. Use a pan large enough to hold the bag and cover it with water. Place the water in the pan and bring it to a boil.
3. Place the knitted bag in the water and boil it for 2 -3 minutes.
4. Remove the bag from the water.
5. Add the 3 packages UNSWEETENED KoolAid mix to the water. Boil the water, stirring until the KoolAid is dissolved.
6. Place the bag back into the water and continue to boil until all the color has left the water and soaked into the wool instead. The water will be a milky or clear color. If you are using cherry KoolAid, for example, no red will remain in the water.
7. Remove the felted knit from the boiling water and place it in cold water until it has cooled.
8. Squeeze the water out.
9. Return it to boiling water once more and boil for 3 minutes.
10. Return the felted knit to cold water once more until it has cooled again.
11. Wash the felted knit in a washing machine and lay flat to dry.
