If you have two days to do nothing but knit on the loom, you can get yours done in time. Here are the directions:
On the Knifty Knitter blue loom, I added 1 peg to the corner and am currently knitting stockinette 1 over 2 stitches using Red Heart White yarn. My goal is to knit a piece that is 24 inches long and bind it off the loom. Then I will knit another piece identical to it and join the two pieces together, being careful to leave a hole for a child's head to go through - about 12 inches. Next, on 31 pegs (1 peg is a corner peg) I will knit off a 10" piece that will be used as the hood. I will bind it off and then attach the bottom corner of the hood to the neckline of the costume. After that I will block the entire piece and it will be ready for wearing. If oyu try it, let me know!
Hey Greg love your site:) I am always looking for pals who share my love of crochet and loom knitting. I admit I haven't taken to the loom in awhile, but I have been looking for santa hat tutorials so I can make santa hats for my boss' four pugs:) I love seeing guys who love the art, and I really love looking at the work in your perspective. It gives me ideas what to do for my man friends in the family and also my man at home:)
ReplyDeleteHey, I would love to see a photo of it when it's done. :)
