Hey Loom knitters it's Denise from Loomahat.com . This time we're making a rib
stitch flowers.
Big hugs to Carol and Shanti for covering the cost of closed captioning.
Okay let's begin. We're going to secure the yarn to the anchor peg with a simple
knot. Then we're going to zig- zag through every other peg in order to do a
drawstring cast on. Just for information this is a 5-inch 24 peg
small loom
When you get back to the front go behind that first peg and then you're basically
gonna take your working yarn and lay it right on top of your pegs. You're
gonna knit off every peg with two loops. So, it's basically every other peg.
Just do a few of them at a time. Don't try to do them you know place your yarn
over all of them because you're gonna find that it gets kind of tight when you
do that. In fact at this point it's a good idea to leave your yarn your
working yarn a bit loose. Make sure that you knit off all of the pegs that have
the two loops like in this one that you knit off. Then when you get back to
that first peg you're gonna find that it only has one and so your yarn is just
laying there. Go on and skip it you're gonna go to that second loop and knit
off. Continue knitting this row and keep in mind that we're using the U-wrap
version of the knit stitch. All that means is that you have wrap your peg as
such and knit off. You just keep going like I said all the way to that
first peg on your loom which in my case it's the one with the little charm that
tells me that that's the first peg. When we get here we're going to start
the pattern which is going to be a purl one which is to scoop the yarn from the
bottom to create a new loop, take the old loop off, put the new loop on and pull.
Then we're going to do three knits. So one purl and three knits and here are
my three knits, one, two and three. My phone always rings when I'm doing a
video. I tell you I'm really not that popular, it just seems to happen as soon
as I'm doing a video. Like an announcement goes out
or something. I don't know what can I say. Just keep knitting one purl, three knit.
Again, I'm using the U-wrap version of the knit stitch, because if you know me,
you know that it's my favorite version of the knit stitch. Oh my, it's the fairies
and they're loose again. Just ignore them and keep knitting your purl one, knit three
to the end of the row.
Very important don't forget to remove the knot from the anchor peg after a few rows.
Repeat the pattern for 13 more rows. We're gonna end with one row of the knit
stitch. So in my case, I have 24 pegs. I'm going to knit my 24 pegs. Now this
gives me a total of 15 rows not counting the cast on. When you're finished with
your row you're gonna wrap your working yarn around the loom one time, cut it and
then we're gonna start with this drawstring a cast off. Bring the yarn
under the loop and feed it through. You're going to do this for every peg
until you're back to the first peg on your loom. Once you've made sure that you fed
the working yarn through every one of your loops, you're back to the front. With
your hook you're just gonna remove the loops off of the pegs. When you remove the
fabric from the loom it is gonna look a little funky. You know that's just the
nature of the stitch. You have to stretch them and so you're grabbing the top and
the bottom and stretching them and then find either one of the drawstrings and
just pull it. You want to pull it to close it and you want to make sure that
all of your loops have been pulled. So it might be necessary to go back a little
bit. Find some of those that didn't pull right and pull them and then just close
up your little circle and that will be one end. You don't have to make a knot
right now, just pull it nice and tight as close as it will get. We're gonna
fill it with whatever you like to use for like your stuff animals or pillows
or whatever. In my case I use some real cheap poly-fil and it works good. Now
just make sure that you close both sides. You don't have to stuff it don't
make it you know like really,really tough.
It just needs enough to look puffy. Then make sure that you've tightened and
closed those two sides. You don't need to make a knot,
just make sure that they're closed. Then find a nice blunt needle. In my case, I've
really grown to like the little metal needles. This one is from Lion Brand. You
can use the one that comes with your looms. I don't recommend it. You really
are going to need a needle with some strength because you're going to go
through that poly-fil all the way to the other end. Then you want to pull on
it because that's what's going to give the flower that puffy look. Now find one
of the sections where you did the purl stitching. Right here you can tell
because it's more open and the other one. You're going to take your needle and
you're going to bring it in and out. You're gonna like weave it into that
section so in and out, in and out, through the stitches and pull because we want to
push those inward and almost like away from the knitted section. So once you've
got all the way back, pull on your yarn on your working yarn and then you're
finding the next row where you did purl stitches. Do the same thing you're
weaving in and out of the stitches on that section of the fabric. Pull on
it again, bring it back to the middle and pull some more. As you can see it's
changing the flower. Put it back in through the middle. You're always feeding
through the middle and pulling on the yarn to tighten the working yarn.
Puff the flower. We want to go through every one of the purl sections
of the flower. In my case I think there was six. If have you have a higher peg count
then you might have more rows of purls. It really depends on the number of pegs .
Like I said I believe in my case there are six rows. So I did mark my
my loom but regardless you can tell the purl stitching from the knit stitches if
you're looking. They are just, you know wider and you can clearly see which
rows aren't the purl. When you're done it looks like this. You'll have your two
parts of your working yarn. You're gonna pull them and tighten and make a knot.
This is where you're making a knot and just gonna finish closing up the flower.
Here is where I put a button. That's my button. For that you are going to
need a needle that is appropriate to your button. When you're done you
basically just take that excess working yarn and you cut. Tada,
your little flower is done !
And, stay tuned for the next video where I'll show you how to do the little leaf
that's attached to the flower.
