I’m having a lot of fun looming the spiral spender hat but I’m confused on rounds 16-23 . it says to repeat rounds 8 through 13 but that would stop on row 22 I’m confused on what I knit on rounds 22 and 23 .? Thank you for sharing this fun pattern with all of us .

Little Christmas Stocking… quick knit
The Little Christmas Stocking is the ultimate Christmas quick-knit! The stocking is just the right size for an ornament, an accessory, or a small gift holder. Adjust the length of the leg to fit more whimsical items inside such as wine bottles! The holiday possibilities are endless!
By Ace Beorchia
LOOM: ‘Premium’ Chunky Round Knit Loom, green 24 peg loom
YARN: Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick and Quick in colors Cilantro (green), Cranberry (red), and Fisherman (cream) used in sample.
MC (leg and sole): Approx 17 yards (27g) chunky weight yarn. CC1 (hem): Approx 17 yards (27g) chunky weight yarn. CC2 (heel and toe): Approx 9 yards (13g) chunky weight yarn.
NOTIONS: knitting tool, tapestry needle
GAUGE: 6 sts x 10 rows = 2”
SIZE: Approx 8” tall x 4” wide
ABBREVIATIONS
Approx=approximately k=knit stitch (May substitute with u-stitch) st(s)=stitch(es) rnd(s)=round(s) MC=main color CC1=contrast color 1 CC2=contrast color 2
INSTRUCTIONS
Cast on 24 sts in CC1. Prepare to work in the round.
Rnds 1-20: k in CC1.
Form hem: Lift all stitches from the cast on row up onto the loom, one by one, being careful to keep your stitches straight. Pull the bottom stitches over the top stitches to complete the hem.
LEG
Rnds 1-10: k in MC
Note: For a longer stocking leg, knit additional rounds until desired length is achieved.
HEEL
The heel is completed using short-row shaping over 12 pegs in CC2.
Unlike other socks, this pattern does not require a “wrap and turn.” This can result in tiny gaps at the turning point of the heel. Although not necessary for this pattern, use the wrap and turn method if closing the gaps is desired.
Note: Number the pegs on your loom for ease of following the pattern.
Knit from peg 1 to 12. Turn.
Knit from peg 11 to 2. Turn.
Knit from peg 3 to 10. Turn.
Knit from peg 9 to 4. Turn.
Knit from peg 5 to 8. Turn.
Knit from peg 7 to 4. Turn.
Knit from peg 5 to 9. Turn.
Knit from peg 8 to 3. Turn.
Knit from peg 4 to 10. Turn.
Knit from peg 9 to 2. Turn.
Knit from peg 3 to 11. Turn.
Knit from peg 10 to 1. Turn.
FOOT
Rnds 1-11: k in MC
Note: For a longer stocking foot, knit additional rounds until desired length is achieved.
TOE
Repeat instructions for heel in CC2.
Rnd 1: k in CC2
Bind off with basic removal method. Leave enough yarn to sew up the toe.
Turn stocking inside-out. Using the mattress stitch, close the toe by sewing together stitches: 1 & 24, 2 & 23, 3 & 22, etc.… to end of toe (stitches 12 & 13).
This will create a simple seam on the top of the foot of the toe. For a seamless bind off, use the Kitchener Stitch. (http://www.knittingboard.com/kitchener-stitch-page/)
Create a 6” loop (knit I-cord, crocheted chain, yarn, or ribbon) and attach just above the base of the hem on the heel side of the stocking
Weave in all ends.

Farrow Hat with versatile brim (Double Knit)
Multi-color hat can be worn with rolled brim, full open brim like a derby, or front brim. The top fits snugly around the top of the head. Very warm for cold winter outdoor fun!
LOOM: ‘Rotating’ Double Knit Loom with 60 Peg Looms Toppers.
YARN: Sample knit with Malabrigo Mecha Chunky, 100% superwash wool. Approximately 50 yds of each color needed- 3 colors: Lluvias Blue (B), Volcan gold/brown (V), Plomo Gray (G), with 10 yds of white chunky roving for accent.
NOTIONS: Knit hook, crochet hook, scissors, darning needle
STITCHES: Stockinette, Ribbing, b/b weave
SIZE: Large adult (23-25” head circumference)
INSTRUCTIONS
Cast On with G yarn in stockinette stitch. Lay anchor yarn of any #5 yarn.
Round 1-2: Stockinette.
Tie on V yarn to first back peg at peg 1 to begin vertical stripes.
Next 10 rounds: Weave the G yarn on every other peg until you get to beginning arrow. Lay the G yarn down and continue wrapping the empty pegs with the V yarn.
This will create the 2 colors on every other peg, so you will have the stripes running vertically. Be sure that the yarn colors always fall on the same color for each peg. Cut both yarns with 2-3″ tails.
Add a loop knot of white yarn. Tie to the yarn tails. Work one rnd of the white yarn in stockinette. Hook over. Cut and tie. Add B yarn.
Next 8 rounds: Rib stitch with B yarn. Begin on peg 1. Cut and tie B yarn.
Next round: Change to white yarn, work stockinette stitch. Cut and tie.
Next 12 rounds: Add V yarn at peg 1, work stockinette stitch. Cut and tie.
Next round: Add white yarn, work stockinette stitch. Cut and tie.
Add the G yarn for top of hat.
Next 5 rounds: With G yarn, stockinette stitch.
HAT TOP AND DECREASE
Decrease row: Starting at peg 1, both looms, lift loop over to next peg, peg 2, on right, leaving a peg empty. Count 4 pegs to right, starting with peg with double loops. Lift next loop and move it to right creating another empty peg. Then count over to right, 4 pegs starting with peg with double loops, and pick up next loop. Place it on next peg to right; and continue this shift around the loom. If it seems easier, you can do this on inner loom and then the outer loom as long as the empty pegs are same stitch, and the same amount of pegs are between the double loops.
Now, you should have 12 less pegs with yarn on them, on each loom.
Work all pegs with yarn in b/b weave. This means to wrap each stitch front to back, going straight across. Work all pegs in this manner, skipping the empty pegs. Hook over all stitches; pick up both loops on the pegs with the extra loop.
Work this process for one additional rnd. All pegs will have just 2 loops. Hook over. Cut yarn leaving approximately 18” of yarn tail attached.
Move the back loops from inner loom to outer loom, being sure to match the pegs of each stitch.
Work the pegs so that you have only one loop on each of the 48 pegs being used. They should be in groups of 4 pegs.
In each set of 4 loops, move loop 1 onto peg 2. Move loop 4 onto peg 3. You now have 2 pegs with 2 loops in each set.
Work the pegs so that you have only one loop on the 2 pegs. Add the darning needle to your yarn tail.
Carefully, go around the loom picking up all the loops on the pegs. Lift the hat from the loom. Go around the loops again with the sewing yarn so that you have a very strong base to use to draw the hat closed. You are now ready to finish the top of hat.
Slowly draw the yarn snug to close in the top of hat. Take darning needle into inside of hat to do reinforcement stitches to complete the closure. Trim any yarn tails and weave into the knit.
FINISHING BRIM WITH CROCHET EDGE
Using crochet hook, insert into first stitch on anchor yarn at any starting point. Add the V yarn onto hook. Pull thru loop on hook, and pick up next loop on anchor yarn. You are creating a crochet chain on all the stitches being careful to pick up each strand separately. Continue around the brim until you meet the beginning of the crochet. Connect the first loop to the last so that you have a nice continuous edge. Pull both ends of V yarn to inside of hat, tie and weave into knit. Carefully cut the anchor at several points and remove all. Weave in any yarn tails from the color joints.
You may want to block the hat lightly to desired shape for the brim.
You may want to wear it with front brim turned up with a pretty decorative stick pin, or add a button to keep the brim in place. However you choose to wear the brim of your hat, it is classy and warm, and fun to wear!

Hello HELP, I have been working on a blanket for awhile now and have noticed the middle of my wooden knitting loom is appears to be warped in the middle. Is this normal is it due to tension and should I start over??
-
Will there be a video?
I looked at the instructions for the stitches but I can not seem to visualize it
Thanks -
Question: I’ve made about 60 scarves since this past spring using various yarns. My stiches seem uniform, not tight, but after finishing the scarves, maybe within hours though usually days, the scarves shrink in length often to half the length. What do I need to do differently or is this normal?
-
just want a pdf of the instruction
-
Hi Donna,
What is most important is how does your knitting look? Is it tighter in the center from the end edges? If all looks well, I would keep going and complete and try to weave a bit looser in the center area.
This is not how the loom should look, and one of your rails could be slightly warped and bow inward. Please email me at pat@knittingboard.com after you have completed the blanket. We may be able to remedy the problem.
Thanks, pat -
Hi Jesse,
Please leave email at pat@knittingboard.com and I can send the file to you. -
The Soft Braid Stitch seems identical to the CrissCross stitch, unless I am missing their difference in their instructions.

Over the years, we have received many requests to have this set created, something where you can you use bulky weight yarn to create super fast hats from baby to adult! Your wait is finally over!
We present you with the “Chunky Knit Loom Set”!
This gauge is brand new to the KB Loom line up. The set includes three knitting looms: 48 peg, 36 pegs, and 24 pegs with 5/8″ gauge. You can create adult size hats on the 48 peg knitting loom; the 36 peg knitting loom can be used to create youth size hats–maybe, toddlers to about 8 years of age; the 24 peg knitting loom is the perfect size to create small baby hats, and even leg warmers.
Each loom is made of the best quality, high grade durable plastic. The stay-put pegs are engineered to correctly hold the yarn, and yet, be super comfortable for the knitter. They will quickly become some of your favorite looms!
The possibilities of creation are endless; you are able to use the knitting loom both in the round, and to create flat panels. The 48 peg is large enough to create a wide scarf or shawl. Knit a few strips and sew them together to create a blanket. So much to knit!
Here are a few patterns to get you started with your new Chunky Knit Loom Set!

What kind of cast on would you use for this project. It’s really cute. Thank you.
-
How do you get your stitches loose enough to Cable? After the first row of cables, my stitches are too tight to move. I don’t mean from this pattern. I was using a pattern from KB’s Zippy Loom Knit Cable book. But I thought you might be able to help me.

Molly Toque
This beautiful toque features lovely, painterly colorwork and a hemmed brim for extra warmth. The optional braids add a touch of fun! Intermediate level pattern.
Designed by Nicole Cox
Loom: KB All-n-One Loom, using 72 or 84 pegs. Color pattern works in multiples of 12 stitches.
Yarn: (MC) Knit picks Chroma Worsted, #4 weight, 70% superwash wool, 30% nylon, 198/100 g, 1 skein, color # 26552, Avalon. (CC) Lion Brand Wool-Ease, worsted #4 weight, 80% Acrylic, 20% wool, 197 yds/180 m, 3 oz, 1 skein, color #104, Blush Heather. (CC1) Cascade Yarns 220 superwash, 100% Superwash Wool, worsted #4 weight, 100 g/3.5 oz, 220 yds/200 m, 1 skein, color #817, Aran.
Finished Measurements: 19”/48.3 cm around x 8 ½”/21.6 cm high or 22”/55.9 cm around x 8 ½”/21.6 cm, sizes are approximate.
Gauge: 16 sts and 26 rows = 4”/10.2 cm square in stockinette. Please take the time to check gauge for proper width.
Notions: Knitting hook, crochet hook, measuring tape, Tapestry/yarn needle, medium pom-pom maker (optional)
Pattern Notes
- The hat is knit in the round from the bottom up.
- A hem is formed after row 24 to form a double thick hat brim for extra warmth around the ears.
- The regular knit stitch is recommended for all colorwork areas of this hat. Carry your floats for a neat appearance inside of hat and neater stitches.
- Use 72 pegs for large child/sm teen or adult. Use 84 pegs adult/teen sizes. It’s best to do a gauge swatch to check for size. Stranded knitting has less stretch and can produce a smaller hat than regular stockinette.
- 2 charts are included, one for the brim and one for the main portion of the hat.
INSTRUCTIONS
Foundation round: Chain CO (72) (84) pegs with 1 strand MC; join to work in the round.
HAT BRIM
Rounds 1-24: *[K1 in CC1, k1 in MC] repeat from * to end of rnd. Your total knitting should be 4”/10.2 cm. Add more rows if short. This will give you a 2”/5.1 cm brim once hemmed.
Form hem: Lift all stitches from the cast on row up onto the loom, one by one, being careful to keep your stitches straight. Do not pull the bottom stitches over the top stitches, knit them together in the next round.
Begin Main Hat

Round 18: *[K1 in CC, k4 in MC, k1 in CC] twice, rep from * to end of rnd.
Repeat rounds 7-18 until hat measures 7”/17.8 cm. Note: You may adjust this length if you would like a longer slouchier hat. Leave 1 ½”/3.8 cm for the top portion of the hat.
Next round: Knit in MC.
Repeat the last round until total work measures 8 ½”/21.6 cm or desired length.
Bind off hat using the gather method.
FINISHING Weave in ends and block hat to even out stitches. Make a medium size pom-pom using CC and secure it to the top of the hat. Follow directions for braids below.
Optional Braids (make two)
Cut 9 strands of CC, each measuring 40”/101.6 cm.
Align all strands and knot one end close to ends (this is the top of your braid).
Separate strands into 3 sections of 3 strands and braid to end.
Knot end, leaving 2”/5.1 cm.
Go to the top of your braid and using a yarn/tapestry needle threaded with a strand of CC, sew the strands together just below the knot. Make sure braid is flattened out to keep seam flat.
Sew braid to one side of the hat, inside of hat (about 1 ½”/3.8 cm from edge) hiding the seam.
Repeat above for 2nd braid.

Beautiful hat! Thank you for the pattern. When you refer to the “regular knit stitch” do you mean true knit stitch (the one that you do like a purl but pull yarn from above the loop on the peg) and not e-wrap knit stitch?
-
So beautiful ! I love the colors .
-
I have been looking for free patterns for quite some time and have been looking for them in the craft stores and can’t find them. I have arthritis in my hand and loom knitting seems to be the only craft I can handle. just looking for some thing different and these patterns look great . Thank you for any help you can give me,
-
Hello Christine, yes the “true” knit and “regular” knit stitch are the same thing. The e-wrap knit will be written as ewk in my patterns unless otherwise stated in the key.
-
In foundation round, it says CO. What is that? Thanks in advance.
-
Hello Cindy, CO is the abbreviation for cast on. Hope this helps!

Assembly
Note: the panel direction is sideways so that the cable lays horizontally.
Before sewing the sides of the bag, sew the handles in place.
Once the handles are secured, seam around the bag, starting on one side, then down the bottom of the bag, then up the other side of the bag.
Weave ends in.

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
