CHRISTMAS SCRUBBY ON THE KISS TRIANGLE LOOM

This is a pattern to make a scrubby with the KISS 20 Peg Triangle Loom
Its a perfect Christmas present
Fun,easy and fast to make

Tools :
- KISS 20 peg Triangle Loom
-Crochet hook that comes with the KISS Triangle Loom And crochet hook size : US 10,5 - EU 6,5mm
-Needle (best to use a wool needle)

Materials :
-2 Scrubby yarns :Using Green Sparkle Scrubby yarn (+-30 yards) And Red Sparkle Scrubby yarn (+- 2 yards)

Instructions :
- Take your KISS Triangle loom
- Take the green Scrubby yarn
-
DOUBLE stranded !!
-Tie a knot on the beginning of your double stranded yarn,so it keeps it good together to weave easily
-Start weaving with your double stranded yarn, Its the same way as single stranded but don't forget to go OVER-UNDER 2 threads each time
Here is a picture of the weaving:

-When the weaving is finished, bind off the threads And remove the Triangle from the loom
-Make a second Triangle exact the same way
-When this Triangle is finished
-Take both Triangles and take the Red Scrubby yarn
-Use crochet hook : US 10,5 - EU 6,5mm
-Place the longest sides together and take your crochet hook and start with the Red Scrubby thread SINGLE stranded and crochet it together with a single crochet stitch

This is a great youtube video that explains how to crochet 2 pieces together with single crochet: Joining Squares: Single Crochet

We are already at the last part and that is to sew in the ends.
It is handy to use wool needles because they have a bigger eye and that is easier to work with because of the two stranded threads and the thickness of the wool needle makes it easy to go through the scrubby to sew in the ends.

Now you're finished,congratulations!

I hope you will enjoy using the scrubby or make it as a present for your family and friends.
Its a beautiful Christmas present and you can make a few scrubby's  and gift it together with a dispenser with wash gel and a small bowl to put in the scrubby's and dispenser.
Enjoy weaving!

-Materials :

-Loom Hook

-Yarn US 6-7 and EU 4,5 - 5mm I used Durable Brilliant Glam

- Wool Needle

- Scissors

Extra materials :

-Charm (I used a yarn ball with knitting needles charm)

Stitches :

S : Skip one peg

K : Knit (ewrap)

HS : Half Stitch

Instructions :

Cast on 6 pegs (leave a long loop so you can attach the charm at the end)

S1, K4 , HS Repeat this row 30 times or until the desired length

After the 30 rows are done Bind off

Take the wool needle and sew in the end Adding the Charm

Use the yarn from the cast on, cut until the desired length

And add the Charm using a needle that you put into the charm from the front side to the back side, so the needle with yarn comes out on the back side of the charm. This way you can finish it nicely with 2 knots and then cut the rest from the yarn.

Your Bookmark is finished.

Enjoy using it in your books or it is a nice present to gift to your family or friends.

Happy looming.

PATTERN INSPIRATION:

I started out with a ball but wanted it to be a flat circled ball and by pinching in center of the ball and tying it off, I was able to create what I was looking for.

This pattern was created because of my good friend Monique Paters-Issverdink and her creating this new lovely stitch the half linen stitch and wanted to do it in the round so this is what I came up with using her new stitch. Thanks Monique this can make fantastic finger less mitts or hats, washcloths, tea towels, pot holders (USE COTTON YARN) or even a blanket.

If you are a new Kiss loomer or first time loom knitter we wanted to give you a page with some very basic beginner information.  We hope this helps you.  If you would like more in-depth instructions or additional instruction please visit our Learn tab for Videos and FAQ's.  One of the most important things you need to learn in knitting is "what is gauge and what does it mean".  I highly recommend you start with this document before knitting on your loom.  It explains whey having a gauge adjustable loom is an amazing tool to have! - Let's Talk About Gauge.

Looking for Weaving information? Take a look at our videos here.

Loom Knitting Videos - see below

So I have this loom - now what do I do?

Your loom comes boxed ready to knit on with 0 washers between the peg and pin boards.  If you have a Small Gauge Loom, Regular Gauge Loom, or Modular Loom you have the option of adding washers.  We include up to 7 washers per location on the bolts.  Longer looms - 60 or 77 SG, 40 or 53 Reg, and our larger 40 and 60 peg Modular Looms all have a pin (or multiple pins) on the side of the pin board board - this is to hang washers on - see video below. 

You don't need to add washers or ends on your loom before giving it a try!  So feel free to just grab some yarn and follow along below.  We recommend starting on one side first.  Once you see how the yarn works on the loom it will make more sense on the corners.  This document will help you with setup on the 1 peg slider - Slider Setup.  When you are ready to add end pairs take a look at this video for setup.

Casting On

I recommend starting with a double e-wrap cast on, also called a non-loopy cast on.  This will give you a nice clean cast on edge and is a typical cast on you can use for most projects.  The U-stitch cannot be used as a cast on because it is open and will unravel.  For other options on cast on's visit the learn tab.

Knitting

The most typical stitch you will use is a u-wrap knit stitch.  The u-wrap stitch will give you a nice V shaped stitch (e-wrap gives you a y-stitch).  This stitch is smaller than an e-wrap but a little larger than a traditional knit stitch (reverse purl).  Just practice knitting back and forth for a while to get used to the "in front of the peg, behind the pin" motion.  Remember do not wrap the outside pin, stop at a peg - see picture and video below.  When you turn you can slip the first stitch or knit the first stitch.  If you are seaming a future project you will need to knit every stitch.  The video shows a great explanation of how to do this.

 U-Wrap Stitch

Slipping & Knitting First Peg

Here is a closeup video of how the pin system works and how the fabric flows down the back of the loom.  At first you will notice the yarn piling up a bit, but if you tug down a little in back it will come loose easily unless you've snagged a pin.

Purling

Next you can try purling on your loom.  To make a fabric that won't curl on the edges you will need to make some sort of knit and purl combination to keep the fabric flat.  There are many options on this but the most common is the garter stitch.  For the garter stitch you knit one row across, then purl the next row.  You repeat this knit and purl pattern for the edges or your whole project.  The purl will form a vertical line on the front of your fabric and will sit higher than the knit stitch creating little ridges.

Binding Off

Binding off is the process you use to close up your knitting to take it off the loom.  There are many different bind-offs you can choose from.  We will look at one here, but you can view others under our LEARN tab.  This video shows the basic bind off.  Make sure to keep your stitches loose.  The super stretchy bind off is another alternative easy bind off that provides a nice tight looking bind off with plenty of stretch.  It's great for cuffs and collars especially.  It also pairs nicely with the double e-wrap cast on for a similar looking edge.

Now What?

So you now have all the basics covered!  Congratulations!!!!  After you feel comfortable with knitting and purling it's time to start a project! We have a few on our pattern page to help you get started.  As always we hope you enjoy your new loom and if you ever have any questions please do not hesitate to ask!  This email address is being protected from spambots.
