Hey guys as promised here is the little leaf that goes with the flower that I've
attached to so many things. I'm calling it the Whoville because it's a little
funky and I think you guys will have a great time learning how to knit this.

Let's begin. Alright we'll start with securing the
yarn to the anchor peg and then we're going to do a drawstring, I'm sorry we're
going to e-Wrap cast on 10 pegs. Well you know I use the drawstring cast on to
death so I say it at a habit. Now let's turn and we're going to U-wrap knit
one row in order to finish this cast-on. Try to keep your yarn a bit tight as you
do this cast-on. And let me explain a U-wrap. To do this you're going to half wrap
your peg and knit off and again we're going to half wrap and knit off and
we're going to do that for all 10 pegs. Row 1 is really easy, all you're gonna do
is knit the row just like you did with the cast-on. You're gonna half wrap the
peg and knit off and keep doing that all the way to the end of the row. Row 2 is
going to be a bit tricky so I need you to pay attention, alright. Not difficult
just tricky, but we're gonna start with two simple knit stitches so first knit
peg 1 and then peg 2 and then we're gonna do the little tips of the leaf. So
we're going to knit off using one of these stitch, locking stitch
markers is what it's called. But you can use a safety pin or a paper clip and then
we're going to wrap, e-Wap and knit off on that same peg. On this particular one
nine times, so once you've done that nine times on
the same peg you're going to then take that loop and move it to the next peg.
I need you to tighten that working yarn nice and knit off and then you're
going to go back to that first loop and you're going to remount it on that peg,
which is like peg number three. And, the reason I never pull out the stitch
marker is for situations like that one. Alright then you take your stitch
marker off and you don't need to do this but I do just makes it easier, is I
attach it to that tip of my leaf. And now we're going to go to the next one and
again like last time you're going to take another one of your locking stitch
markers or whatever you're using in its place and you're going to knit off that
first one. Then you're going to come back and in this particular case I'm
going to knit this peg eleven times because it's actually the very middle
top tip and I want it to be longer than the other ones. But it doesn't matter, you
can make this one nine just like you did before. Then again you're going to
tighten it and if it's easier you can remount that first loop first before you
knit off, that's okay. And then just make sure you tighten right here okay,
promise me that you're going to do this because it makes it look a
lot better. Then I'm going to attach my locking stitch marker. I'm going to
knit off and then I'm gonna do the third tip, so with my stitch marker again I
knit off that first loop and then I'm going to come back and do nine on this
one peg. Keep going until you get nine you can do less
if you want a smaller or more if you want your tips to be bigger. Again, I
put it on the next peg knit off and remount that first loo. I attach my
stitch marker to that tip and then I'm going to knit two pegs and that is the
end of this row. Now, Row 3 is similar but not alike to Row 2 we're going to
start off by knitting three pegs so one, two and here goes my third one. Now
peg number four we're going to e-Wrap seven times and get your stitch marker
knit off the first one and then you're going to knit that peg seven times over.
Now again, you can do more or less depending on what you want how you want
your your leaf to look. You're going to knit off and then remount that first
loop. Try to make sure that it's not twisted. Okay, that can happen sometimes.
I'm going to put my stitch marker back on my tip and go to my next one. Now
this is why I said that it's similar but not alike. We're only gonna do this two
times on this row. So, once you've done your second tip and you move that one
over and you go ahead and you're gonna knit off like before then please
remember to tighten that loop, remount your stitch or your loop and again I put
my stitch marker on my tip and now I'm going to knit the rest of the row which
in this case is three more pegs. Knit your three pegs and you're finished with
Row three. Now remove the yarn from the anchor peg and you could have done this
a few rows back but I feel more secure keeping it on.
Then just take your working yarn you're gonna lay it over the pegs pass
to and cut your excess yarn. Now we're going to do a drawstring cast-on
so just feed from the bottom your working yarn over the top, from the
bottom up and, you guys know I meant to say cast-off, sorry about that. Again feed
your working yarn through every one of your 10 pegs. Then you can go back to
the beginning and move, remove all the loops off the loom. So, I do want to
forewarn you at this point that the little leaf looks really awkward and
it's a little, I don't know, weird to try to shape it but let's walk this through
step-by-step. So, here's your cast-on string and you need to tighten it so
you're gonna go to the other end and you're gonna grab the first corner and
pull on it. You're just gonna keep pulling those loose loops. You can
see how it moves and it shows you where the next one is, as you pull it'll show
you where the next loose one is, the next one that you have to pull. They're
really long and it's kind of easy to see. But if you've not done this before, if
you haven't tightened a cast on, it can be a little strange to do. As long as
you don't worry about it it seems to go better. When you start getting concerned
that it's just really awkward to do then it gets worse, so just pull on these
really long loose loops until you get to the very end and then you'll see that
that last loop shows you where the other end is which is right here. If you left
the knot when you tied this to the anchor peg you can tell the cast on from
the cast off. Alright so now it's time to tighten the cast off and that one is
super easy you know pull on the corner loop and
then just pull the string and it will tighten. See that one's way easier to
straighten out then the cast-on. Then it's time to stretch the tips of the
leaf and start defining the shape, so just pull on it until you feel that it
looks well. Then it's time to sew the two ends. So I'm using a blunt metal
needle because I like it way better than the plastic one that comes with the set.
It's just easier to deal with, it doesn't bend it's just good and it's really
cheap. You guys should should think about it. Once you've sewn those two little
edges of your leaf you can go ahead and remove your stitch markers or whatever
you use your safety pins or paper clips whatever you used,
remove it so that you can continue to shape this leaf in whatever way you want
it to look. Then you're good. Now you have a cool, funky, little leaf and you
can attach it to whatever you want. In my particular case I'm attaching it to this
little flower and if you want this pattern there will be a link in the
