Let's make a tiny Christmas tree. For a list of supplies, visit the website or
see the description below. Hey, it's Denise from Loomahat.com and we're
ready to begin. First thing you're going to do is get one strand of yarn and
secure it to the anchor peg. Then go between the first and last peg and we're
going to zig-zag through every other peg until we're back at the front. You're
going to go behind peg 1 and lay your yarn loosely over a few pegs.
With your hook, you're going to knit off every peg that has two loops. You'll
notice that, that's every other peg.
When you knit off peg 24, which is going to be
your last peg, right here, you're done with your cast on and you're ready for
row one. For row one and two you're going to knit the rows. However, on row
1, peg 1 is a bit different. You see it has no loop right here, right.
We went from peg 24 and when we go to row one we're going to lay the yarn
loosely over one and two and knit off peg two, only for row one. From this point
on, for the rest of the project, you'll always knit peg one. So we're
going to knit the other 23 pegs that are left on row one, using the Uwrap
version of the knit stitch. Once we've knit all of the pegs and
we're back at the front of the loom, for row 2 you're going to do the same thing,
you're knitting all 24 pegs using the Uwrap version of the knit stitch.
Don't forget to remove the knot from your anchor peg, after a few rows.
When you're done with your two rows of the knit stitch you're ready for row 3
through seven and you're going to be doing the purl stitch. So if you've never
done it let me show you. You're gonna take your yarn and put it under the
existing loop, with your hook, you're gonna come from the top, and scoop up
your yarn and create a new loop. Take the old one off the peg and put the new loop
on the peg and pull your yarn. Alright, let me show you on a light colored peg
hopefully you can see better. You scoop up you create a new loop, you take the
old one off, put the new one on, and you pull, alright that is the purl stitch.
You need to do a total of five rows of the purl stitch. So rows 3-7
are five rows of the purl stitch.
Now for rows 8-10 you're going to do the knit stitch, again.
This is a total of three rows of the knit stitch and again we're doing the
Uwrap version. So all you have to do is half wrap and knit off and continue
for three rows.
After you're done with your knit stitches you now will be
decreasing before you start a row. So for row 11 -14, which are rows, four
rows of purl, you're going to first decrease. So you're not going to peg one,
you're going to turn around, because we're going to be knitting flat from now
on, which means we're going to go back and forth instead of in the round. So you
take off peg 24 and you move it over to peg 23, tighten. You're always going
to be doing a knit stitch when you decrease, so knit off and now on the next
peg we're going to purl. We're down one peg, so every time you're going to
start a row you're going to decrease by one. So you'll end up with an empty peg,
like you just did with peg 24. So remember you have 4 rows of the purl.
When you get to peg 1, you're going to do the same thing. So here we are at the end
of the row, you are going to knit your, I'm sorry you're going to purl all of
your pegs, right. So your last peg is right here, it's peg 1 on this row, that's
your last peg. You're gonna go ahead and do that purl stitch to end that row.
Now you're gonna pick up that loop and put it over on peg 2 and tighten and
knit off, because you're always doing that and you have two less pegs
already. Now you're turning around, right there, you're two empty pegs, you're
turning around and remember you still need to do more rows of the purl
stitch. Just remember that when you turn around, you're going to move the peg,
I'm sorry move the loop, and then so every time you're going to have one less,
one less, one less, just keep doing that and you have four rows of the purl
stitch to finish.
When you're done with your four rows of purl you should have four empty pegs,
you're now ready for three rows of the knit stitch. Again, we decrease first
so we're knitting flat, decreasing by one and now we're knitting three rows of
the Uwrap knit stitch and just like with the purl you're going to be
decreasing by one before you start a new row.
Next for rows 18 - 31 all you're gonna do, is repeat rows 11 - 17
two more times, so two more times you're gonna do four rows of purls and three
rows of knit. You're going to knit flat, you're going to decrease one and then
for rows 32 - 34 you're going to purl. So you should have four pegs left,
if you don't, don't panic, no big thing, you'll survive. If you have five, six or
three, it's better if you have at least four, but if you have more don't worry
about it. What you're going to do at this point is
you're going to purl 3 rows, whatever number of pegs you have. Now it's time
for the cast-off. So you're going to take your yarn and you're gonna wrap
it around the whole loom. You can even go over a bit. Get your scissors, cut the
strand of yarn and now you're going to, with your hook, from the top, feed the
working yarn upward and out, on whatever number of loops you still have left on
your loom. In my case, I have four so I'm going to do that and then take the loops
off of the peg and now my project is off the loom. I need to stretch my
stitches. This is important because it helps to shape the fabric. So just pull
on it and that will stretch them out and give them the correct shape. Then you
need to pull on your string, just a little bit, just to neaten things up,
so you get it the way you need it.Now we're going to close it up. It has a
little tail and that's a good thing because it helps the tree to stay up
when you put it on the trunk. Then get a needle and thread the needle with the
yarn, that's why you left the long tail. You're going to start at the very
tip. You need to round things off, so you're going to take your needle and go
through those cast-off loops. Make a circle, so it's nice and round.
Then we need to bring the two sides together, so you're gonna go from one
side over, right and then you're going to go down to a loop and then over. So
you're not going over to over, instead your best bet is to go down a loop and
then go over. Try to get whatever looks ugly to sort of end up inside so
you kind of pull your loops together and you're gonna have to kind of round
things off and and bend the loops inward so that the ugly parts are inside of the
fabric of the project, instead of on the outside. Now, the back is only going to
look so good, it's not going to look as nice as the front, but it is your back
and so I wouldn't worry too much about it,
plus if you're gonna be adding, you know, if you're gonna adorn your, your
Christmas tree, you can hide these with ribbons or buttons or whatever
you're going to add to your tree. So I wouldn't sweat it too bad and it's not
like it looks horrible, it just doesn't look as good as the front. Keep going
all the way down the back of the tree and you should have enough of a tail
left over so that you can do this, so that you can make it all the way to the
bottom. If you want, you can make a knot inside the tree, outside, leave it
like that. I wouldn't recommend it, but you can, if you want to. Once you've
done that, you are basically done with this part of the tree. This bottom part,
you're going to attach to the trunk. So it's time to knit the trunk. Just like
the tree, with the trunk we're going to do a drawstring cast on. Secure your
yarn to the anchor peg and then take your yarn and you're going to zig
zag through every other peg until you're back at the front. With your yarn,
you're going to go behind peg one and then lay the working yarn loosely over a
few pegs, like this. Then you're going to knit off every peg that has two loops.
Once you finish knitting off peg 24, you're done with your cast on you're
ready for the next part, which is rows 1-13 where you will knit
the row. Don't forget to skip peg one, on row one only. Then continue, you need
to do your 13 rows of the Uwrap knit stitch. Don't forget to take the yarn
off the anchor peg after a few rows. All right, then we're off to row 14, which is
a single row of the purl stitch. You guys remember how to do the purl stitch,
right. From the top, scoop up, create a new loop, take the old one off, the new one
on and pull. Only one row, so once you're done with that one row of the
purl stitch, which allows your tree to stand upright, you're almost finished. All
you have to do after that is you're going to do two rows of the knit stitch,
which are rows 15- 16. You already know how to knit these two rows, so let
me tell you what's next, which is going to be your cast off. It's the flat
drawstring cast off, which I hacked. Take the working yarn and you're going to
wrap it around your loom two times completely and if you feel a little
generous you can go a little bit over. Get your scissors cut that yarn.
Now you're going to take that yarn strand and from the top you're gonna
scoop it up and feed it through and the next peg, you're gonna go behind it. Scoop
up, feed it through, go behind the next one, so every other peg you're going to
feed the yarn through that peg, and the one next to it you're going to
take the yarn and put it behind that peg. So right now you're focused on every
other peg, once you reach peg 23 then you can start taking the loops off of the
loom. Only the ones that have the thread through them, the other ones will stay on
your loom, they're next. But before you do that, you
want to get your scissors and we're going to first pull on this yarn
so we can get as much of it as we can. In fact, you can pull on the loops a little
bit and then leave about a little less than an inch, secure that other strand to
your anchor peg, and then you're going to do the same thing, you're gonna feed it
from the top up, go behind the next one, from the top up.
Again, you're doing every other loop because really, that's what's left on
your loom right now . You're gonna do that through all of these twelve pegs
which is what should still be left on your loom. Once you're finished with
that, just like before, the remaining loops on your loom, you're then going to
take them off. If for some reason you don't have enough left at the end, like
here I have enough, but say you cut it too short, and you don't, just pull some
of the loops off the loom and pull on your string and it should give you, like
more, okay. In this case I had enough string that was long enough to get
through my twelve pegs. I'm done and now I'm removing the loops off of the peg.
That part is done. Now for your fabric, you need to stretch those
stitches. As always this is the only way your fabric will take the form you need.
On the top, you have three strings, try to pull on them all, just a little bit.
Then focus on the one that's in the middle, it's the first one that you did
and it has a string on its own. So you're gonna try to focus on closing that hole
completely, as best as possible. Then you're gonna pull on the string for the
outer. And you see that I'm doing this on the inside of the fabric, so that on the
other side, you just see the opening. Just keep pulling on it, really,
really well. Pulling it really tight. Once you feel that it's closed, then you
can go ahead and make a knot. I make two knots just to make sure. It's not gonna
go anywhere, it's just a head thing. All right, cut off all of those excess
pieces of yarn or you can leave them in, it doesn't matter, it becomes stuffing.
Then just close up the cast on, just enough to kind of neaten things up,
get you started but you're not going to close it yet, because you need to put a
little stuffing inside. You can either use your leftover yarn or you can use
polyfill, like I'm doing right here. But if you have, like old pieces of yarn, this
is a good time to use it, one because that other stuff will be
darker then the polyfill, so it's always a good thing. You don't have to overfill
it, a little bit will do. Then you thread your needle and you're gonna
start closing this completely and securing it by sewing in a circle. As
you can see, I'm kind of closing this up even more, right. I do that by only
going through the top loops. I do this in a circle, when I'm done, I then,
when I feel like it's close enough, then I go ahead and I make a knot. You can
do that if you want to or not. In this case, it's not that important because
this will be inside of the tree. Cut off your excess yarn. I like to do this only
because I like to put it aside and save it for another project. You can always
use yarn. Make as many as you need to cover all of the trees that
you're going to be making. Try to shape it into form before you attach your
treat. Of course assembly is required. Get your two parts and your stuffing. I'm
gonna be using some leftover yarn clippings which is actually way better
than polyfill, it's free and it's a dark color tones
so it just works better. You don't need very much, a little bit will go a
long way. You're also going to need a yarn needle at this point and we're
going to want to go ahead and weave in that leftover yarn, right here. You can
use a crochet hook as well, just to feed the yarn in, so that it's on the inside
and you can cut it or not. You could just use it as part of the other stuffing.
What we're going to use to attach the top to the trunk is the cast on thread,
so thread your needle. Then we're going to simply sew these two parts
together, no biggie and don't worry about how it
looks because it sort of flaps, there's a flap that'll go over that section and so
it's not going to show. So whether it looks pretty or ugly, you don't have to
worry about it. Then feed it through, pull on it and cut that extra yarn off.
And, you're done, that's it, that's basically your tree. Now all you have to
do is decorate it, any way you like. In my case I'm using this hot glue gun. It's a
low temperature, hot glue gun, so it's not gonna do anything to my yarn, even though
my yarn is acrylic. Alright, so you guys decide how you want to make your tree
look Christmasy. This is what I did. I hope you guys liked it. Remember to
