Simple Baby Wrap

I have not made this one yet, But it is on the planning board:

Materials: yellow knifty knitter, tool, yarn, crochet hook

Cast on all pegs. entire item is done in the e-wrap stitch

work enough rows to be 1 .5 times the length of the baby.

Bind off. and weave in any ends

do 2 or 3 rows of single crochet at the top and at the bottom. (to prevent curling)

make a chain to weave in at the bottom of the wrap. (this is so you can open it up to change the baby.

As soon as I make it I will post the photograph.

Knifty Baby Hat

This is my simple baby hat pattern You will need the yellow knifty knitter 1/2 skein of soft worsted weight yarn

de-wrap=Stitch used double e-wrap. (wrap the peg three times around, take the bottom loop and lift it up and over the other two on the peg)

double loop= two loops from the cast on row.

flat knit= lay the yarn above the loop and lift the loop up over the yarn laying across the top.

Cast on 31 pegs, you will be working in the round, work 10 rounds of de-wrap, 4 rows of flat knit, the 10 rows of de-wrap

take the double loop in the beginning row and palace it one on each peg

work in the round for 20 more rows.( or long enough to cover the baby's head) do a gather cast off. pull tight, and weave in ends.

Finishing: work in any threads (i usually just tuck it into the brim when making the brim)

My loomy travels

Among these pages I will document (to the best of my ablility) my learning with the KK (Knifty Knitter) Looms.

I first purchased the looms about two years ago, the instructions left a bit to be desired, so it did not catch on, or interest me very much. Then I found some video instructions on the internet, and I was hooked.

The first thing I ever made is a hat, My husband is still wearing it., Then I moved onto a scarf (this was about 1 year later). As I said I was not impressed with the KK looms (at that time) .... but since that time, about December, I found those video's on the internet, and It has been a love affair of sorts.

Here is a short list of what I have made using the KK looms:

1. a simple black hat
2. double sided scarf
3. Socks, Cuff down

I will add more later

Thanks for listening to my ranting, or wandering you could say
