I’m hoping you can answer a question for me. I have the original 30″ metal peg loom. It double knits but I would like to set it up for single knit. However it doesn’t have any connector pegs like come with the 18 &20″ boards. Do you know where I can get some?

I have a off topic question about socks.
Your you tube sock tut using the orange sock loom was very helpful and easy to follow.
My sock at the toe end has, what I call, an ear on each side of the toe. The sock won’t follow the contour of my foot, it sticks out on each side.
My question is
Can I eliminate 2 w&t on each side and then would I just not do anything to those pegs until the last round where I just knit all the pegs?
I wouldn’t have been able to make a sock without your tut. The hardest thing for me was to do the kitchner stitch.
Thank you Isela

‘On the Go’ Tote (double knit)
Fun little tote for all ages. Bag has a flat, round bottom and leather attached handles for closure. Easy for beginners, wanting to do a 2-color intarsia. May be lined if desired.
Loom: Rotating Double Knit Loom, 52 pegs, worked in the round.
Yarn: Big Twist Chunky, 100% Acrylic, 195 yds per skein. Colors used in sample are Cloud White(W) and Chunky Slate(S), (1) skein of Slate and (½-1) skein of White. Machine wash and dry.
Stitches: Stockinette
Notions Needed: Knit hook, Crochet hook, Darning needle, Handle or leather straps for closure, purchased at any craft store.
Optional notions: stitch markers or rubber bands (6)
Size: 8” tall X 9” wide (flat) with 6.5” circumference bottom
Gauge: 3 sts X 5 rnds=1 inch
Techniques Used: Decrease for bottom, Vertical stripes for 2-color design
Abbreviations
rnd(s)=round(s), dec=decrease, L=left, R=right
Begin at top of bag and create the double folded border for attaching the straps.
Cast On 52 sts with Slate yarn. Work 12 rnds in Stockinette. Cut S yarn.
Add White yarn, work 4 rnds.
Do not cut the W yarn, but tie on the S yarn.
Leave both yarns attached.
Begin the design area for a total of 11 rnds based on chart below.
Work 1 rnd with S yarn.
Rnds 2-4: Start with W yarn. Work 2 sts, skip 2 sts, work 2 sts and maintain this sequence in stockinette. Lay W yarn down and work S yarn on all open pegs. Hook over.
Rnds 5-7: Start with W yarn. Work 2 sts but shift over to L side by one stitch. Now continue by skipping 2 stitches and weaving 2 stitches. Lay W yarn down and work S yarn on all open pegs. Hook over.
Rnds 8-10: Repeat rnds 5-7 by shifting over to L side by one stitch.
Rnd 11: Complete with 1 rnd of S yarn. Cut and tie S yarn; continue with W yarn (rnd 12).
Work 3 rnds of W yarn with extra weave. This gives the center of bag more structure to hold its shape.
To do this, weave full circular of stockinette, and then one more time around the loom. Some pegs will have 3 loops. Lift 2 over 1 on pegs with 3 loops, for hook over; 1 over 1 for all others.
Add S yarn and work 1 rnd in Stockinette.
Cut S yarn and knot.
Work 8 rnds with W yarn. Do not cut.
Tie on S yarn and work 1 rnd in stockinette with extra weave.
Tie on W yarn and work 5 rnds. Cut and knot W yarn.
Bag bottom will be worked with S yarn for a total of 16 rnds.
Work 2 rnds in S yarn.
The first dec is done in center of the 3 sections between the legs of the loom. You can mark these pegs, if desired. You do not need to be concerned about exact centers, just approximate.
For each dec, move one loop to adjacent peg, so that the dec peg is empty. Be sure to do the dec on both looms. Work rnd.
Work 1 rnd in stockinette skipping the empty pegs.
Next rnd, do dec on peg adjacent to first dec so that you have 2 empty pegs together on both looms. (see pics) Work rnd skipping the empty pegs.
Work 2 rnds in stockinette.
Repeat the dec rnd with a new dec between each set of the empty pegs.
Work 2 rnds after each dec rnd as before.
Work next dec rnd and follow with 2 rnds.
You will end up with a total of 18 dec stitches (empty pegs), and 34 sts remaining on loom.
Work 2 rnds on remaining pegs in stockinette.
Bind off by moving the inner loops onto pegs on outer loom. Cut a piece of S yarn (about 2 times around loom) for bind off. You can use the working yarn for this. Thread the yarn onto darning needle. Pick up each set of loops from the pegs until the remaining 34 stitches are on the yarn and off the loom. Gently draw the stitches together, sew a few stitches to close the bottom and knot. Pull yarn tail into bag.
Finishing the top and adding leather straps:
Turn bag inside out. Fold top down to meet the bottom of S section. Using the darning needle and S yarn, sew the top edge secure. You may want to keep it in place as you sew with a few double pointed needles or pins.
Turn bag to outside and attach the straps. Our sample uses 2 straps, each 21” long in black leather, and long enough to wear on shoulder. You may also like a drawstring leather string laced thru the header. Tuck in any remaining yarn tails.
Optional: leave bottom soft, or line it with rigid circular fabric.
Either way, your little bag is “off to market” and sure to please.

Will there be a video?

Hi Gin,
I don’t plan for a video of this pattern. If you have difficulty with any part of it, I will gladly help you with it and make a small video of that section that seems hard to understand. It is a fun project and should not give you too much trouble, but just ask if needed. -
I recently discovered some stitchology patterns I really like #36,37,38 and 39 but can not figure out which loom is being used. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
-
I don’t understand what it means to weave. Is there any place to go where I can see the being done?
-
Hi Jean,
Sorry for the confusion. In this pattern we are doing the stockinette stitch or stockinette weave. It is just referring to the way the yarn is wrapped on the pegs.
We did a process that had 3 rnds just to add some strength to the bag. It is a stockinette stitch, but before we hooked over the pegs, we did one more rnd to add a 3rd wrap on every other peg. So some had 2 loops and some had 3 loops. Then we hooked over the rnd by taking 1 over 1, or 2 over 1. So the wrap process was referred to as weaving around the pegs. I hope this simplifies the term, “weave” a little better.

Silken Byways Handbag
Traditional saris, woven with heavy silk and gold and silver cloth, are highly treasured and worn during special occasions and festivities within the Indian culture.
This vibrant and somewhat free spirited handbag is created using yarn made from recycled sari remnants…a wonderful way to enjoy the exquisite beauty of sari silk, with our more casual western ways in mind.
Loom: Adjustable Hat Loom, 28 pegs in every other hole.
Yarn: Approx 90 yards/143 g of bulky weight recycled sari silk ribbon yarn. Sample used SilkIndian Ribbon Yarn (1.5 skeins in the multi) 60 yds/100 g.
Notions: knitting tool, scissors, yarn needle, row counter, large decorative button, one tassel, one strap (sample uses a curtain tie-back cord).
Gauge: Approx 8 sts x 12.5 rows= 4 inches
Size: 7” high x 7” wide x 3.5” deep at base.
Abbreviations
Approx: approximately
sts: stitches
CO: cast on
EW: E-wrap stitch
KO: knit off
WY: working yarn
BO: bind off
Pattern Notes:
All knits are worked as E-wrap stitches throughout. When working an EW with the ribbon yarn, be sure to wrap and knit off just one peg at a time. Leave extra looseness in each wrap after knitting off, so that the following rows won’t be too tight to manage.
This pattern uses a Drawstring Cast On for ease in gathering the bottom of the bag. Please see this helpful web tutorial for more details:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkTsM3WjKQU
INSTRUCTIONS
Set loom to work in the round using 28 pegs in every other hole. Going in a COUNTER CLOCKWISE direction, Drawstring CO to all 28 pegs.
Rows 1-24: Work very loose EW on all 28 pegs.
Row 25: Basic BO pegs 1-14, EW pegs 15-28.
Row 26: EW pegs 28-15.
**Note: The WY should now be on the left side of the pegs being worked. If it’s not, simply switch the diagram below to work as if a mirror opposite.
Row 27: Using the peg diagram above, work the 2 left side decreases as follows:
- *Move the loop from peg 2 to peg 3 and KO.
- *Move the loop from peg 1 to peg 2.
- *Basic BO peg 1.
*EW knit the remaining pegs in line.
Row 28: Basic BO first peg of row. EW knit the remaining pegs in line.
Rows 29-33: Repeat Rows 27 & 28. When done, there will only be 3 pegs with loops remaining.
Row 34: Basic BO first peg in row. EW and KO 4 times on peg 2 only. Move loop from peg 2 to peg 3, KO. Trim yarn and pull through loop. Cinch tightly.
FINISHING
Pull tail at CO edge to gather until there remains a 2” opening. Stitch this 2” opening closed so that it will lay flat and serve as the bag bottom.
Weave in all ends and trim any long threads from the ribbon yarn’s natural frays. Feel free to stretch the bag and asymmetrical flap into shape. The firm nature of the ribbon yarn allows for some adjustment of the knitting into the preferred form.
Stitch the button in place at the bag front just inside the button loop, along with the tassel, and handles of choice.
If desired, the bag can be lined, or it can be left in its natural state.

MC=Main color (Cranberry Swirl)
CC=Contrasting Color (Lime Sorbet)
INSTRUCTIONS 
Using MC, cast on 36 sts, prepare to work a flat panel.
Row 1: ewrap k to end of row.
Row 2: p to end of row.
Row 1 and Row 2=1 Garter Stitch ridge.
Rep Row 1 and Row 2, until you have 48 Garter Stitch ridges
Next row: ewrap k to end of row.
Next row, BO 2, p to end. (Place a row marker at this point).
Rep last 2 rows until 8 sets rem.
BO with basic bind off method.
Fold the panel so that the cast on edge lines up with the row that has the stitch marker. Using tapestry needle and MC, mattress stitch down the sides. Weave ends in.
I-cord for flap
Using CC, work a 3-stitch i-cord that is approximately 24 inches long. Using tapestry needle and CC, mattress stitch the i-cord to the tapered flap of the bag, starting at the beginning of the tapered edge, loop the end of the i-cord to form a loop, secure to the edge of the flap.
Button
After felting (see instructions below for felting), fold the flap over to see where to place the button. Sample shows button at the bottom right of the flap. Sew the button in place to the bottom part of the bag. Fold flap over, with a knife of scissors make an opening to the flap, big enough to allow the button to pass through.
Assembly: using the mattress stitch, seam the icord to the cast on edge of the oven mitt. Create a small loop with the remaining icord (to use for hanging)
The magic in this knitting happens when you wash the untreated wool with hot water and the item shrinks, making the stitches smaller, and the fabric thicker.
You will need the following:
1 pillow case with a zipper
Safety Pin
2-3 jeans (to use in agitation)
Eucalan Woolwash or Baby Shampoo
Towels (to squeeze out excess water).
Top Loader Washer
INSTRUCTIONS
Place all items to be felted inside the zippered pillow case. Secure the zipper with the safety pin (to ensure the pillow case doesn’t open).
Set washer to Small load, and Hot temperature.
Place 1 tsp of Eucalan Woolwash or 1 tsp of Baby Shampoo.
Place the jeans inside the washer.
Place the pillow case inside the washer.
Start the washer. Check the washer again BEFORE it goes into the spin cycle. If the item is not the desired size, re-start the washer from the beginning (simply turn the knob back to the beginning of the wash). Place the pillow case back in the washer and let it go through another cycle, stopping the washer BEFORE it was through the spin cycle. Check again. If not desired size, repeat. *The above samples took 3 cycles.
Once the items are the desired size, remove the items from the pillow case. Take them to the sink. If you used Eucalan Woolwash, rinsing is not required. If you used Baby Shampoo, rinse in cold water. Do not wring the excess water. Place a towel on a flat surface, then place the felted item on top of the towel. Pat dry as much as you can.
Set the items to air dry, away from the sun. The sun may discolor the yarn.

What is psso? It does not explain that in the abbreviations.

Sorry this is off the beaten path but are there any patterns for children mittens on the sock loom 2? I would love to make some for winter for charities. Sue Kreitzer

Hello so in reading the pattern, the knits are the alternate to the purl and not a ewrap. Am I right?

I am using the Tadpole and do not understand how to get started. I have the Kb A fine gauge knitting board and want to make a Bear. Can anyone help me get started?
-
Love this , but how big is it. ? can it be made larger? 🙂
-
Any tips on the k2tog? The stiches seem really tight especially when moving the left stich to the right peg.
-
When you have the line
Next round: *yo, k2tog; rep from * to the end of round.
Does this mean that the 1st peg should be yo’ed and the next peg should be k2tog, or does that mean to do these two things to each peg? I really want to make this bag for my sisters wedding present and need to know the answer as soon as possible. Thank you. -
Thank you, Isela, I actually watched a YouTube video last night and figured it out, I was anxious to get started last night, but now I might pull all the rows out and start over, because I do not have the AIO loom so I have been improvising with the MS loom and the configuration seems too tight on the ends to really make work, so going to try to make the loom an oval and see if that works better. Next question though, have you worked with the MS loom, would you suggest I use the bigger pegs and space them out more? Any suggestions on this?
-
Somehow I don’t believe this only takes 300 yards of yarn to complete, since I have already used 300 yards of yarn and only have 7 inches of the bag done. Maybe I am being too tight, but seriously, just brought another 300 yards to finish.
-
This is very interesting. Maybe the difference has to do with adaptation, of using the MS loom as opposed to the AIO loom, because when I started I didn’t have the AIO loom. Maybe the gauging is different by that much. I am using the Sugar n’ Cream 95 yard skeins of yarn, it has just taken me a lot more yarn to complete. It looks really cool though so far though. I really like it, just that didn’t anticipate would take this much yarn so didn’t buy enough of same dye lot yarn so now having to weave the brighter and different dye lot stuff into the project. I will post a picture when I am done of what mine looks like, and maybe you can tell me the difference between the two. Thank you for your help.
-
Ok, I think I figured out the difference, I am making stitches that are or probably were a lot tighter than yours are for the bag, I just added in the other dye lot and I thought I cut enough of original dye lot to complete the two rounds to complete the stitch and the yarn only made it half way around for first round of the stitch.
-
Here are some pictures of what my project looks like at this point. I am using the MS loom and not the AIO loom that you do for this project, but that shouldn’t make that much difference, I think the gauge is very close if not the same as each other. I did have to add 4 pegs to make the configuration work better, but that doesn’t seem that it would make that big a difference either, not of like 300 yards of yarn to make the same bag. Ok so I can’t seem to post pictures here. Maybe I will try to send the pictures to you through Facebook, just so you know they are coming.
-
Ok, Isela, I figured out with the help of some people from Facebook looming groups, a second pair of eyes, what happened, and why I was using so much more yarn than you, the two rows that make up the 16 inches, I was doing them backwards, I was doing the k2tog 1st, and the knit row last, and not doing the yarn over part at all. That was what was making mine tighter and taking so much yarn. Thanks for your help though, and sorry for any problem…
-
That is right!!! When I am done, I will have an original bag, and I think that is kind of cool… Thanks to you though in a lot of ways, because I did look at your pattern and miss read it, if it weren’t for me finding your pattern and thinking it was cool, and then reading it backward, I wouldn’t have created this original pattern… Thanks again…

Friday Free Pattern :: Woven Evening Purse
Weaving on your knitting board is simple and can produce fabulous fabrics like the one featured in this vintage-inspired, glamorous evening purse. I’ve lined it and added a button closure and beaded handle for added practicality.
Loom: 28″ Knitting Board with Peg Extenders
Yarn: Lion Brand Vanna’s Glamour in Lapis
Ribbon: Offray 1/8″ Gold Metallic Ribbon, 15ft each spool (6 spools) and Simplicty 5/16″ Gold Metallic Trim, 6ft each spool (3 spools)
Beads: 7 round “Wedding Cake” lampwork beads in transparent teal (Indian, not the original Venetian), 80 size 8/0 gold silver-lined beads, 10 gold hexagon beads (NOTE: I’ve been collecting beads for 30 years, these were from my private stash. They are still available, but you may need to shop for them on eBay, Etsy, or at an online bead company if you want the same exact colors.)
Other Supplies:
2 pieces of lightweight Phoomph from Coats and Clark, 2 pieces of Forest Green Craft Felt (9″ x 12″), Fabric Glue, 1″ diameter gold metallic button with a shank, crimping tubes (2), bead stringing wire.
Tools:
size N crochet hook, size F crochet hook, tapestry needle, scissors, ruler / tape measure, crimping pliers, flat knitting bobbin or weaving stick shuttle, awl / crewel needle, cutting pliers.
Finished Size:
19″ x 8″ (flat), 6.5″ x 8″ (finished size without handle)
Weaving Technique: Tabby / Plain Weave – equal amounts of weft and warp are visible
Row 1: Weave under the first warp thread and over the next. Repeat across the loom.
Row 2: Weave over the first warp thread and under the next. Repeat across the loom.
Repeat Row 1 and 2, ending with Row 2.
Terminology
Warp – the vertical lines of yarn you weave in an out of on the loom.
Weft – the horizontal line of yarn that you weave in and out of the warp.
1. Add Loom Extenders
Add one extender to the bottom of the loom and the other one hole in from the other side.
2. Warp Up the Loom
Tie the end of the yarn to the first peg on the peg extender leaving a 5 inch tail. Run the yarn to the peg opposite it on the other peg extender. Repeat this process until you have warped the entire loom. Tie the warp to the last peg and leave a 5″ tail.
3. Begin Weaving
Wind your ribbon around the shuttle (knitting or weaving). Weave under the first warp thread and over the next one. Be sure to leave a tail at the beginning. Repeat the under / over pattern across the loom. When you are finished, proceed in the other direct. 
Wrap the ribbon around the first peg on the vertical edge. Weave over the first warp thread and under the next one. When you have returned to your starting point, weave in the tail, tucking it to the back. Keep going in this manner for the next 13″. As you run out of ribbon, be sure to end at one side or the other, not in the middle. Wind more ribbon around the shuttle and continue.
HINT: If you find that your fabric is bowing in the center, weave the next row as normal, but wrap it around the nearest beg with ribbon already wound around it. Repeat as go back. This will straighten your line. You may need to proceed with this trick every few inches throughout your weaving.
4. Alternate Gold Ribbon with Gold Trim
For the final 6″ you will alternate weaving a gold metallic ribbon with a gold trim. Keep both tidy and tangle free by winding them on separate shuttles.
5. Remove Fabric from the Loom and Bind Off the Edges
6. Add Lining
Trim tails on the back of fabric, leaving only a 1/4″. Measure your fabric. Cut the Phoomph to size. I used one piece of Phoomph for the base of the purse and another for the flap. Trim the Phoomph to have rounded corners at the flap and base. Cut felt to width, but allow it to remain 12″ long. Cut the 2nd piece of felt to cover the remainder. Peel away one side of the Phoomph and press firmly to the back side of your fabric. Peel away the other side, position the felt and press firmly.
7. Crochet Together the Edges of the Purse
Fold the ribbon section in half, leaving the flap free. With the yarn and F crochet hook, slip stitch the edges closed. To do so, you will insert the hook at the base, running the hook below the bound edges. When you have completed one side. Proceed to the other. Weave in all tails.
8. Add a Beaded Handle
Cut a 20″ piece of beading wire. Poke a hole with the awl a 1/4″ in from both sides at the base of the flap.
Thread the wire through the hole, leaving a 4″ tail. Thread five 8/0 gold beads and a lampwork bead, another 8/0 bead and a crimp bead onto the long end of the wire. With the tail, thread thirteen 8/0 gold beads onto the tail and then run it through the lampwork bead, gold bead and crimp. Use the crimping pliers to crimp the bead. Trim away the excess tail with the cutting pliers. Add two 8/0 gold beads. *Add a lampwork bead, two 8/0 beads, a hexagon bead, two 8/0 beads.* Repeat pattern from * to * and ending with a lampwork bead. Thread two 8/0 gold beads, a hexagon bead, two 8/0 beads, a crimp bead, an 8/0 bead, a lampwork bead and thirteen 8/0 beads. Poke the wire through the hole in the fabric on the other side of the flap and thread a final five 8/0 gold beads. Run the wire through the lampwork bead and up to the crimp bead. Pull until the beads are tightened up. Crimp the bead with the crimping pliers. Trim away excess wire.
9. Finishing Touches
Fold over the edge at the top of the flap and glue down with fabric glue. Allow to dry.
Add a crocheted loop. Measure to find the center of the flap edge. With the F crochet hook, fasten on the yarn with a slip stitch a 1/2″ from the left of center point. Leave a 4″ tail. Chain 8. Slip stitch to the fabric a 1/2″ to the right of the center point. Knot and weave in tails. Fold flap in place. Place button at center point where flap meets base of purse. Sew on button.

That looks amazing.

Thank you, Karen! – Lindsay
-
Do you remember how many yards per spool for these ribbons? That way, if I can’t find the exact ones, I may be able to substitute.
-
Thank you for catching that omission! I’ve added the yardage to the pattern.
-
I quite enjoyed browsing through this. I reckon it’s going to go really good with the handmade stuff I found at etsy.com/shop/FlosCaeli I purchase all of my headbands, necklaces, etc there.

Hi Clarinda,
What are you intending to make a woven headband or ear warmer would be great! You’ve given me an idea!

28″ Knitting Board…Diagonal Weave Eyeglass Case!
This cute eyeglass case will keep your eyeglasses safe from scratches. Make one for the purse and another for the
car. The case also makes a great gift!
Skill Level
Intermediate
Knitting Loom:
28″ Knitting Loom with Peg Extenders
Yarn:
Lion Brand Recycled Cotton in Seagrass, Lion Brand Recycled Cotton in Marine
Tools
knit hook, size E crochet hook, tapestry needle, large button.
Finished Size
3.5” by 6.25”
1. Assemble the loom. Attach the loom extenders one section apart.
2. Warp the loom. Holding two strands of the marine recycled cotton yarn together, tie the yarn to a corner peg. Wrap the yarn around the next peg to one side of the corner peg, then around the next peg on the other side of the corner peg. Continue to work back and forth, wrapping the yarn around every peg. Tie the yarn to the last peg and cut leaving a 5″ tail.
3. Begin weaving. Turn the loom. Holding two strands of yarn together, one strand in Marine Recycled Cotton and one of each color, tie the yarn to the corner peg. Use a crochet hook or the knit hook to weave under then over the warp. Repeat the process, this time weaving over the strands you went under, then under the strands you went over. Continue until all of the pegs have been filled. Leave a long tail, cut the yarn, and tie it to the corner peg.
4. Taking it off of the loom. Using a single strand of Seagrass Recycled Cotton yarn, make a slip knot and place it on your crochet hook. Start at a corner peg, and work across the longer side first. Use the crochet hook to lift the weft off the peg, and onto the crochet hook. Yarn over the hook and pull through all the loops on the hook. There should now be one loop of yarn on the crochet hook and one peg bound off. Lengthen the loop on the crochet hook slightly, then bind off the the next peg in the same manner. Continue until all the pegs have been bound off and the woven piece has been removed from the pegs. Leave the loop of yarn on the crochet hook. Do not cut the yarn.
5. Add a button loop. Insert the crochet hook into the center of the first bound off stitch, yarn over and pull the loop through. Flip the work over to the back side, and work across the shorter side that you just bound off. Insert your hook between the next two bound off stitches, under the two threads. (See photo.) Yarn over the hook and pull through, yarn over again and pull through both loops on the hook; one single crochet stitch created. Repeat until you have created 8 single crochet stitches. Yarn over pull through; one chain stitch created. Make chain stitches until it is about twice the width of your button. Continue making single crochet stitches as you were before until you reach the corner. Cut and knot the yarn. Weave in all your yarn ends.
6. Seam the edges. Flip the fabric back over and fold the bottom half up 3.25” to create the body of the eyeglass case. Using the bind off stitches as a guide, sew up both sides of the eyeglass case with a tapestry needle and a single strand of yarn. Cut and knot the yarn. Weave in your ends.
7. Sew on the button. Use a single strand of yarn and the tapestry needle to sew on the button. Knot the yarn on the back side to secure, and weave in the ends.

Knitting Loom
28″ Knitting Loom with Peg Extenders
Yarn
VCR tape and Vanna’s Glamour by Lion Brand
Tools
Tunisian crochet hook, tapestry needle, scissors, large button, Philip’s head screwdriver.
Finished Length
4.5” by 9” excluding the strap.
Terminology
Warp – the vertical lines of yarn you weave in an out of on the loom.
Weft – the horizontal line of yarn that you weave in and out of the warp.
1. Disassemble to VCR tape. Use the screw driver to unscrew the 5 screws holding the cassette together. Take the two halves apart and remove the reels containing the tape. Cut off the clear leader tape.
2. Assemble the loom. Attach the loom extenders two sections apart.
3. Warp up the loom.Tie the VCR tape to a corner peg. Work back and forth across the length of the loom, wrapping the tape around every peg. Tie the VCR tape to the last peg you’ve warped and cut leaving a 5″ tail.
4. Begin weaving. From the opposite side weave the tunisian crochet hook under over the warp. Unreel enough vcr tape to reach across the width of the loom. Fold the vcr tape and hook it on the crochet hook. Use one hand to keep tension on the folded tape against the crochet hook, and your other hand to gently pull the crochet hook through. Place the loop from the crochet hook onto the next peg. Repeat the process, this time weaving over, then under yarns. Continue until all of the pegs have been filled. On the last row of weft, you may find it easier to weave through only a few warps thread at a time. Leave a long tail, cut the vcr tape, and tie it to a corner peg.
5. Taking it off of the loom. With Holding two strands of yarn together, make a slip know and place it on your crochet hook. Use the hook to lift the weft off the peg, and onto the crochet hook. Yarn over the hook and pull through both the loop of vcr tape and the loop of yarn. There should now be on loop of yarn on the crochet hook and one peg bound off. Continue all the way around until the woven piece has been removed from the pegs. Leave the yarn on the crochet hook. Do not cut the yarn.
6. Chain the wrist strap. Yarn over the hook, and pull the yarn through the loop on the hook, one chain stitch has been created. Continue until you have crocheted a chain about 8 inches long. Leave the yarn on the crochet hook. Do not cut the yarn.
7. Seam the edges of the purse. Fold a third of the woven piece up to 
create the body of the purse. Insert the crochet hook into the bind stitch at the base of the wrist strap chain stitches, then into the coordinating bind off stitch on the back of the purse; yarn over and pull through all the loops on the hook. Insert the hook into the next bind off stitch on the front and back of the purse, yarn over and pull though all the loops on the hook. Continue in this fashion until you have seamed up one side of the purse. Cut and knot the yarn. Weave in your ends.In a similar fashion seam up the other side of the purse. Cut and knot the yarn. Weave in your ends.
8. Add a button loop. Make a slip stitch, place it on the hook. Insert the crochet hook into the center edge of the purse flap, yarn over the hook and pull through the woven fabric, two loops on the hook; yarn over and pull through both loops on the hook; one single crochet stitch created. Yarn over pull through, one chain stitch created, continue making chain stitches until it is about twice the width of your button. Insert the crochet hook into the next bind off stitch on the edge of the purse flap, yarn over the hook and pull through the woven fabric, two loops on the hook; yarn over and pull through both loops on the hook; one single crochet stitch created.
