But then you can also do a 1 over 2 stitch. You bacically wrap the loom 3 times and lift one set of loops over 2. Then wrap again and lift one over 2, repeat till desired length. I agree though that loom is to small for the cuties head. <BR/>The knitted item WILL stretch to the width of the loom but you don't want it to stretch quite that much. The slack is what makes things look nice. :) <BR/>There's a bunch of loom knitting sites that can help you out if you want to try something different. Just google "Knifty Knitter" or "loom knitting".BopBophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14580056908662764089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7777500954921383921.post-46433204748204826202008-10-01T12:17:00.000-05:002008-10-01T12:17:00.000-05:00Ooooo, Groovy!

Something made on the loom is a lot smaller in circumference than the loom it is made on. <BR/><BR/>Also, doing the flat knit stitch instead of the e-wrap knit stitch will tighten it up. http://isela.typepad.com/looming_crafts/loom-knitting.html She has excellent tutorials on the different stitches and techniques.Deenershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18236900505430423262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7777500954921383921.post-10901091248918595092008-09-30T13:35:00.000-05:002008-09-30T13:35:00.000-05:00You can make a tight warm winter hat with a bigger...You can make a tight warm winter hat with a bigger loom :) The smaller red loom stretches the yarn too much. You can also try doubling up on the yarn to make it thicker :D<BR/><BR/>Cute hats!lilizzyykittyymomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06202491698429826719noreply@blogger.com
