Patriotic Decoration

Instructions

1. This pattern takes a long time, but it can be done in steps and it does not seem so long. Place your finished pieces in a plastic bag to store between seasons.

2. This project is knit in the cable stitch where you use a single strand of knitting worsted yarn and e wrap three rows on the looms and then take the bottom row up and over the other 2 rows (One-over-two stitch). Add one row and take the bottom row over the 2 rows.

3. Start with the green loom and wrap all of the pegs on the loom, knit 30 rows."  Pull up the loops from the loom as you would if you were making a hat top."

4. Make sure that you leave a hole in the middle to put over the dowel."  Run a piece of yarn through the beginning stitches and pull them up tight. (leave a hole to put the dowel through).

5. I felt that this would be an easier way to show how to make the rings."  There are 15 knitted disks.

6. Green loom: Claret or red 30 rows. Aren or white 30 rows. Claret or red 27 rows Aren or white 27 rows

7. Red loom: Claret or red 30 rows Aren or white 27 rows Claret or red 24 rows Aren or white 21 rows

8. Blue loom: Claret or red 27 rows Aren or white 24 rows Claret or red 21 rows Aren or white 18 Claret or red 15 Soft navy or Royal Blue 15 rows Soft navy or Royal Blue 13 rows Soft navy or Royal Blue"  11 rows

9. Using the white or aren yarn in the middle of the knitted blue pieces do a cross stitch and a stitch through the middle of the X.

10. Stack the circles in order and top with the wooden star.

Instructions

1. The main part of the knitting is done on every other peg. This makes the scarf very light and airy.

2. Wrap the first three pegs and knit 8 rows, back and forth.

3. Wrap the first three pegs, skip the next peg, and wrap around the next peg, turning back to the first 3 pegs.

4. Knit these loops and when you wrap again, skip the end peg and wrap around the next and turn.

5. Continue adding a stitch on the one side until you have the loom completely filled.

6. Knit these rows even for 18 rows.

7. Decrease one stitch on the right hand side, by turning on the last peg (make this last turning stitch very loose) and knit the next two stitches.

8. Using the crochet hook, take the loop from the turning peg and pull the next loop through the end one.

9. Place the remaining loop back on the same peg. Keep this very loose.

10. Knit even on the last three loops for about 8" and make a tassel for the end.

11. Sew the small loop on the opposite end to make a loop for the long end to go through.

12. Put fringe on scarf and tie the ends of the yarn so that it can't unravel.

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).
