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

[Henry Osborne]

Hi Daniella, let me study this pattern for a bit, and get back to you 
privately. Yes, it is possible to incorporate knitting needles in a looming 
pattern
All of Terrys and my Double Rake Looms and Authentic Knitting Boards have 2 
rows of pegs, I am not sure what you mean by your board having 1 row of 
pegs. You would only use 1 row of pegs for a sweater for an example.
Happy Looming!

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.
