[Nfb-krafters-korner] Loom scrunchy instructions

Mon Apr 7 19:11:59 UTC 2014

there are several ways of casting off the loom. The method that I am
describing works for circular and flat items. What you do is move peg
2 to peg 1, knit off. Move peg 1 back to peg 2, move peg 3 to peg 2,
knit off. Then move peg 2 to peg 3, move peg 4 to peg 3, knit off.
Continue with this method until you get to the last pegs. So your last
loop should be on peg 24 where you will e-wrap it, cut the yarn and
pull the tail through. I'm not quite sure where you are getting stuck.
Maybe someone else can help with this as well.

>>> 	Supply list:
>>> 1.	24-peg blue knifty knitter round loom or similar small round loom
>>> 2.	Loom tool
>>> 3.	1 skein of yarn
>>> 4.	Plain hair elastic
>>>
>>> Step 1: Make a slip knot with your yarn and place it on the first peg.
>>> Step 2: E-wrap cast on all the way around the loom then knit 1 over 1.
>>> To e-wrap, bring the working yarn to the inside of the loom, wrap the

>>> Step 4: To remove the project off the loom, you make a brim and place
>>> the cast on loops over the hair elastic and on to the pegs. Place the
>>> hair elastic in the middle inside of the loom, on top of the knitting.
>>> Reach through the hair elastic, grab the cast on row and put each
>>> loop back on to the pegs. Only put one loop on each peg. Do not put
>>> the hair elastic on the loom. The knitting will simply go over the
>>> hair elastic.
>>> Step 5: Knit over all stitches.
>>> Step 6: Do a basic flat bind off. Move the loop from the second peg
>>> over to the first peg, knit over. Move the loop on the firse peg to
>>> the second peg, then move the loop on the third peg to the second
>>> peg, knit over. Continue with this pattern until all the loops are
>>> off the loom. When you get to the last loop on the loom, e-wrap it,
>>> then cut your working yarn, leaving a 3 inch tail. Pull the yarn
>>> through the loop and pull tight. Weave in ends.
