GAUGE:
Exact gauge is not essential to this project.
STITCH EXPLANATION:
Knit 2 stitches together
Note: The following explanation only applies when you are knitting 2 stitches together at the end of a row.
Move yarn loop from the last working peg to the next to last working peg above existing loop - 2 loops on peg. Knit both loops together to decrease 1 stitch.
NOTES:
1. Follow loom manual instructions for SINGLE KNITTING for how to cast on, knit and bind off.
2. For Body, Arms and Legs, the loom is configured into a closed semi-circle for stability. All work will be done on 28-hole semi-circle piece. The curved shape of the semi-circle piece does not affect the shape of the finished knit fabric.
3. Loom can be configured into a variety of shapes to suit your preference. If desired, use additional loom pieces to configure loom into any shape, then knit back and forth in rows on just one side of loom.
Loom Configuration
Use the following pieces: (1) 28-hole semi-circle piece, (1) 12-hole piece, (2) corner pieces
