For the NON Traditional Knitter...Ever tried Loom Knitting?

A Big Thank you goes out to Bethany Dailey at http://gettinitpegged.com/ for sending and having my Christmas project put in a PDF file to share on another board....so here is an easy LOOM knitting project

Loom Knit Scrubbie


Designed by Quinna Emory, 12/08/08

SKILL LEVEL:

Beginner (Level 1): Basic stitches including increasing, decreasing and finishing skills.

SIZE OF FINISHED PROJECT: One size; Approximately 5 inches wide X 3½ inches high

MATERIALS

• Yarn: 100% Cotton – Peaches & Cream

Candy Cane was used in the sample

• Loom: 14 pegs of a large gauge loom –

Knifty Knitter Round Blue Loom was used in the sample

• Other supplies: 1 yard of fabric netting

NOTES

• The amount of yarn and netting listed about will produce about five or more scrubbies.

• Netting: I bought 1 yard fabric netting

($ .77). I laid the netting flat and cut in a continuous strip about 1 1/2" wide.

Then I rolled it all up on an old paper towel holder and used it as I would a strand of yarn.

• Instructions are for a strand of yarn and a strand of netting held as one worked as a flat panel.

• Pegs are numbered from left to right.

• The first stitch in each row is slipped.

• Stitches: E-wrap

• Techniques: Flat panel bind off, crochet cast on.

ABBREVIATIONS:

CO = cast on

BO = bind off

st = stitch

WY = working yarn

EK = e-wrapped knit stitch (also called twisted knit stitch)
