Loom Knit
Red Sox Dog Sweater
This sweater was made on the Red Knifty Knitter Loom. And the Red Sox “B”
is a crochet applique. This dog is 11” from neck to tail and this fit
perfectly.
When you are knitting a project like this one that requires leg holes
before you start you should mark on your loom where your leg hole stitches will
be. I use 4 stitches as a guide and I center them off of the starting peg. I mark
mine by writing on my loom with sharpie but you can easily use stitch markers
instead.
Materials:
Super bulky yarn in grey, and red
Bulky yarn in white for outline
Red Knifty Knitter loom
Loom tool
Crochet hooks 5.5mm (for “B”) and 4.5mm (for outline)
Tapestry Needle
Pattern:
E-wrap cast on
E-wrap for 10 rows
Make brim (if you need help with this there are tons of YouTube videos)
Starting with row 11, e-wrap around to last peg, do not join! For the
next row e-wrap in the opposite direction, this will make an opening at the
bottom of the sweater.
Continue alternating e-wrap for 10 more rows
Row 21- make leg holes
(This diagram is for
the small blue loom but the same principal applies, also ignore the part about
the cables that was for a different sweater)
I'm
going to name the pegs A and B, A being the peg on the left and B on the right.
Take B, put it on peg A, so now you have two loops, knit off stitch, place back
on peg B. it sounds complicated but it's really easy. Then continue for the
next 3 pegs until you have 4 empty pegs. After you have your 4 empty pegs, wrap
your working yarn around them as a foundation for the next row and continue on
knitting around the loom again until you get to your next leg hole pegs, repeat
cast off of 4 stitches, and finish the row.
After the leg holes are made,
continue with the e-wrap and turn pattern for 25 more rows (a total of 46 rows-
this includes collar rows)
Cast off the same way you made
the leg holes, leave a 6” tail. You will have a loop left, just weave your tail
yarn through the loop and secure into the inside of the sweater. Now turn
sweater inside out and sew up the seam ½ inch below the leg holes to the collar
to close. Weave in end.
That’s it for the main sweater. If
you would like to add the applique, please follow this
pattern and sew onto sweater.
Happy Knitting!
