![]() This video shows how to do the stitches for a knit two, purl two pattern and you can uses these same stitches to create the remainder of the project. ![]() ![]() I started with a knit stitch and my 31 peg is also a knit stitch to make sure the ribbing works out (which is where the pattern is off). To create a ribbed cuff, alternate knitting a traditional knit stitch (I used a u-wrap stitch for my “knit”) with a purl stitch as you work around the loom. Because my loom has an odd number of pegs the ribbing has one section at the back where the pattern isn’t the same but you can’t really tell unless you look closely. The body of the leg warmer is alternating rows knitting and purling and it is finished with another ribbed section. I cast on using the e-wrap stitch and then created a lower cuff by knitting in a ribbed pattern. I used the purple loom (31 pegs) to make leg warmers big enough for my legs. I used three skeins (82 m each) of of Cozy Wool (50% wool, 50% acrylic, 4.5 oz) in dark grey and then some left over pieces of other coloured wool for accents. I used this leg warmer pattern as inspiration and the made modifications for a larger size and chunkier wool. I haven’t done a craft in forever but I wanted to l learn to loom knit so I could use it in my fashion course and leg warmers seemed like an easy enough project for a beginner.
