| Instructions |
| 1. Using 2
strands of yarn, wrap first 3 pegs. Wrap the 3 pegs again and knit off
(lift bottom 2 loops over top 2 loops and off peg). |
| 2. Make fringe
loop on left side of loop by bringing yarn to inside of loom, skip 9
pegs and wrap around 10th peg. Wrap around outside of loom, around all
10 pegs then bring yarn to inside of loom behind 3 pegs with stitches
(see picture to right). |
| 3. Wrap the 3 pegs and knit off. |
| 4. Using tool, lift off fringe loops that are around the 10 pegs. Let loops drop to inside of the loom. |
| 5. Make fringe
loop on right side by bringing yarn to inside of loom, skip 9 pegs and
wrap around 10th peg. Wrap around outside of loom, around all 10 pegs
then bring yarn to inside of loom behind 3 pegs with stitches. NOTE:
You can mark peg #14 with tape or a small elastic band. This peg is in
between the loops. Wrap around peg #13 for right hand loops and peg #15
for left hand loops. |
| 6. Wrap the 3 pegs and knit off. |
| 7. Using tool, lift off fringe loops that are around the 10 pegs. Let loops drop to inside of the loom. |
| 8. Continue
with instructions #2 through #7 for five feet or for desired boa length.
You will alternate making fringe on both sides of 3 pegs that have
stitches. |
| 9. Once you
have the desired length of boa and all fringe loops have been dropped
off, finish off by wrapping the 3 pegs and knit off. Bind pegs off
using flat panel bind off. Use crochet hook to weave ends in. Gently
tug on fringe loops to "lock'? in. |
| 10. Worn
around the neck, this boa is an eye catcher! It can also be tied around
the waist and worn as a belt if you make it long enough. I used a yarn
with loads of texture but any medium to bulky yarn will work. Just
have fun with it! |
|
| What you will need. |
|
|
- "nubby type yarn" 1 skein divided into two balls will make a short version; use 2 skeins for longer boa (Boucle yarn works great)
- Crochet hook to weave ends
