[Nfb-krafters-korner] Loom Knit Short Row Circle formula and 5-Stitch Blanket Pattern

[Annette Carr]

Hi Loomers,

 

I came across a website that has some really great loom knit patterns.  Two
that jumped out at me are ones that I enjoy working with needles, but have
been worked out for a loom.  

 

The first pattern is for making a flat circle.  I've used a version of this
pattern for knitting washcloths with needles.  The instructions provide you
with the formula for making any sized circle.

The second pattern is for a loom knit 5-Stitch blanket pattern modeled off
of the Knit 10-stitch Blanket pattern.  This is similar to the needle knit
pattern that Dixie and I are teaching in an upcoming dishcloth class.  An
entire blanket can be made on a loom with as few as 5 pegs.

There are a lot of other pattern links off of the above pages.  While loom
knitting is not at the top of my craft list, these patterns have caught my
attention and could possibly draw me back to the loom.

 

Happy Looming.
