Yes you can knit the Bottom-up brimless slouchy with any extra-large loom you
have on hand, right now. Hey it's Denise from Loomahat.com. For
a complete list of supplies visit the website or see the description below.
Alright let's begin. I added stitch markers to my loom and
I'm doing every other peg with the exception of the first and last. My loom
is an odd number loom and so these two pegs will have the same stitch as always.
Now I take my working yarn I'm going to secure it to the anchor peg. Then I'm
putting my yarn between the first and last. I'm going to the right, you can
go to the left, that has no effect on this pattern. Then I'm going to zig-
zag the working yarn, in and out in and out in and out, until I get back to the
front of my loom. My first and last may not be like yours, but I go behind my
last and in front of my first peg and then I lay the yarn loosely in front of
those.. With my hook I'm going to knit off every peg that has two loops.
Remember that my first and last may not look like your first and last only
because we might have a different number of pegs. Don't overthink it, just do like
I did, when you get to the last one just place your yarn loosely in front of the
ones that follow and then you're just going to knit off every peg with two
loops . This peg kept coming out so I added a little paper there. FYI, I don't
glue my pegs, I do that instead, I add a little paper and put it back in. My
peg lives there happily without a problem.
Now here's my last peg, you see that it only has one loop and so I'm gonna lay
it in front of that one and my first peg and now I'm going to wrap all of my pegs.
This is my first row, this is Row 1 and for Row 1 I'm doing e-Wrap and so I'm
gonna wrap all of my pegs and the last one I wrap is the first one
that I knit off. That secures my yarn and now I don't have to worry about it, now I
can just knit off all of my loops. So you see I have some loops on the top some on
the bottom. I just knit off all of the loops that are on the bottom. I keep
going all around the loom and that was my e-Wrap row which was Row 1. I'm ready
for Row 2 but before I do that, I'm going to take
this knot off my anchor peg. My yarn is pretty secure at this point and I'm not
too concerned. So I started on peg 1 by wrapping and knitting off and then for
peg 2 I'm going to do a purl stitch. So from the top I take my hook, I scoop it
up, create a new loop, take the old loop off, put the new loop on and pull. I'm
going to repeat that process. I'm gonna wrap the next peg, knit off and then I'm
going to, from the top, scoop up, create a new loop, take the old one off, put the
new one on and pull. Then my next one is an e-wrap. These are called e-Wraps
because the yarn looks like an e-Wrap. But I'm not going to knit it off, I'm
just gonna go to the next one and do my purl. Now I'm gonna do an e-Wrap and
then my purl. Just to make things go faster, I'm not gonna knit off my e-Wrap.
I'm just gonna go ahead and go on and do the purl, I will knit off later when I've
done my whole loom.
Okay, so I'm on my last one, I'm gonna knit off and remember I get the knit-off
here, I also did it here, so I'm gonna start knitting off the ones that I
didn't at the beginning. So I'm just knitting off every other one which or my
e_Wraps. Alright you're done with Row 2 and now what you're gonna do is repeat
the pattern. You're gonna do one row of knit and one row of knit 1, purl 1
until you reach your desired length. In my case it was a total of 52 rows. For
those of you unfamiliar or not comfortable with the understanding of
repeating a pattern, we are on Row 3 and I am repeating Row 1. So that's what I'm
going to do, I'm going to start with Row 1 which is a row of knit and to be more
exact the e-Wrap version of the knit stitch. So, I wrapped all my pegs and
I'm going now to knit off. Row 3 is a repeat of Row 1. Once I finish with my
knit- off. Then I'm on to Row 4 which is the same as Row 2 because first I repeat Row
1 and then I repeat Row 2 in that order. So Row 4 is a repeat of Row 2, it is a
knit 1 purl 1.
I do want you to keep in mind that I'm using a large gauge loom and that is
determined by the space between one peg and the other. So if you have a smaller
space between one peg and the other, you have a small gauge loom which means you
probably have a lot more pegs than I do. It may take more rows for you to get the
same length I did. For my 52 rolls I got a length 13 inches. I'm also using chunky
yarn, if you're using medium weight yarn which is called worsted weight, you may
need to knit with two strands as one. I'll give you a link to a video on how
to do that. When you're done knitting your rows, we're ready for the cast-off
and we're going to be using the super stretchy bind-off. It is a hacked up
version and I'll show you when I hack it. For this you're gonna wrap the working
yarn around your loom two times. If you don't have enough yarn and then do at
least one and a half, get your scissors cut the working yarn. Now with the
hook, you're going to put the yarn under the next two pegs. You're actually
skipping the first one, right here peg 1, you're gonna skip it go to peg two,
take your hook from the top and you're gonna scoop your yarn up and through. You
want to feed it through your yarn, through your loop completely, pull on the
working yarn and then go back to the one you skipped, put it on the top of the
existing loops and scoop down and through those two loops. You're going
to repeat that process. You're going to skip one, go to the next one, scoop the
yarn upward and through the loop, tighten it a little bit, go back to the
peg that you skipped and from the top you're gonna scoop the yarn down and
through those two loops. Then here's my hack, you're gonna go back and take
off that loop. Now repeat the process. You're skipping one, going to the next
one, from the top, scoop up, go back to the peg that you
skipped. From the top, scoop down and again I am tightening my loop in every
process and removing that previous one. Now I wanted to show you that I am
gonna be using my needle. This is an option for me. I find it easier, you can
continue to use your hook. I like this because I can fold the working yarn in
half and when I pull through this, see how long that needle, that working yarn
was and how long it took me to pull it through but if I fold it in half when I
feed my yarn through the loop its half of it. Okay and don't skip any parts, that
includes the one where you go back and remove the loop from the peg. If you
follow this pattern exactly you're gonna have a nice clean edge, then if you leave
them on. I will give you a link to a video that focuses on at this particular
technique and it will show you the difference if leave the loops
on the pegs for last. You can clearly see the difference when you do that and when
you don't. When you remove the loops which is really important. So continue
until you get all the way back to the front of the Loom and you're on that
last peg and you're gonna do the regular thing you, skip it, go through it but the
difference here on that last one is that it needs for you to go back again. So
you're gonna go through that one two times. Your work is now off the loom and
you're going to sew these stitches together, it's just gonna give you a
cleaner finished look. I'm gonna put a knot here, but you don't have to.
Then just bring my yarn into the inside. There you have a nice clean edge, on
the other side is your drawstring. You could just pull it and it closes the top
of your hat. I was going to sew until I remembered that my needle is on the
other end and so I'm going to go ahead and weave in my ends. I go upward towards
the head and I like to kind of turn my
working yarn back in the opposite direction in case I need to wash the hat
it's bit more secure. Like I said, now you can take your needle and we can go
back to the top of the Hat to close it nicely. You're going to take the work
and put it inside out, so that you're on the inside of the Hat, pull on your
drawstring to try to close that opening as much as you can. You are going to need
to sew this and we're going to sew in a circular manner. So you will see those
loops when you created that cast on. And I do cut off some of the excess yarn
just so that out to feed, it I don't have to feed so much yarn through these loops
up here on the very top. And like I said you are sewing in
the circle. Pull on your yarn as you sew so that you're closing the opening and
it will close up nicely. You just have to sew and pull so and pull until it's at
the point where you want and then make a knot. You can bring your working yarn
back to the top and there you have it. I love this stitch. It is the broken rib, it
works so well. Guys I hope you liked this project as much as I do. I want to thank
