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.
