[Nfb-krafters-korner] Help With A Loom Knitting Pattern

[Amy Herstein]

Hi.

I am not a looming expert and have never done it, but here’s what I’d say about re-sizing.

Speaking from a needle-knitting perspective, you can re-size, but it would probably entail writing the whole pattern over and, if needed, re-working a pattern stitch so that you incorporate shaping correctly. You’d have to figure out how many inches (and fractions of inches) of stitches are added/removed as you shape. Obviously, you’ll also need to adjust your yarn quantity way upward to re-size, as well as buy more buttons/notions as needed.

It is a pattern for a sweater. It calls for a knitting board, but I am wondering if I can just use one side of a knitting loom because from my research that is what a knitting board is.
> I am also confused about the part where it talks about knitting with needles on the loom as you have no needles to my knowledge when loom knitting. It is one of the front panels if that is any help. I have not looked at the rest of the pattern as of yet. If this pattern is too hard, am I able to take a baby sweater pattern and resize it to fit an adult or no?
