[Nfb-krafters-korner] sweater on loom

Sun Nov 15 18:19:12 UTC 2015

With using the boys long looms we could use a chunky yarn if don’t want lacy.. Seems like the drop shoulder seams would be a bit easier.

>> Could a sweater be done on a long loom, like the Boyd double peg with 41 pegs?  It is a large gauge in that size, but could be good for lacey pattern.  Side seams would have to be sewn up and the arm holes could be done similar to crocheting armholes.  Or better yet would be a pattern that has those off the shoulder seams.

>> Hettie, you could probably do the arms as a flat panel then sew the seams. If we were to do a cardigan type sweater on the long plastic looms it would most likely have to be done in several pieces then sewn together. I have found a pullover sweater pattern, but it’s an open weave stitch and made to be worn over the top of another shirt like a camisole or tank top. If people have the larger looms like cinDwood looms one could be done with less pieces, but there would still be sewing involved.
