50 Loom Knitted Stuffed Animal Pattern Collection

For the past 3 months I have been working on this book, it will contain my old patterns from the past 4 years revamped, and about 20 new patterns. All of a total of 50 patterns. The book will also include some of my past special instructions on enlarging patterns, designing patterns, looms and yarns to use, how to make eyes, what kinds of fillings are optional, cleaning, and much more. It will be a 196 page book. Animals all but 2 patterns are done in the 24 peg loom format. Each pattern is rated in skill level as well. Photo tutorials for techniques and stitches so that you don't have to have video footage to make the animals. Older footage, if available, will be placed as links in the book in the "Video Index"

Right now the book is in editing and will be sold on Ravelry, CinDwood, and Amazon in PDF format. It will be sold in paperback on Amazon and CreateSpace. I plan on doing a special when the book is ready and in print to do 40 copies signed and come with a single animal that was made for the book for a special price. My tentative plan is for the book to be about $30 and for signature copies with animals $60. Please keep an eye on this post for when the book will be available.

The book is officially available in PDF on Ravelry, CinDwood, Create Space,  and Amazon. 

Feel free to take a look below at the collections that will be involved in the book!!!

Here are some photos of what will be shown inside the book for loom and yarn options, before and after cleaning in certain yarns, eye options available and much more.

Items:

40 peg loom at least for using the 2 peg EW

Looming Hook

Crafters Needle

Crochet Hook (to hide ends)

2 Large Skeins of Bernat Blanket Yarn (you will be using yarn bulking technique.)

Polyfil

2 Large Eyes

Terminology:

CO: Cast On: EW your working yarn around the back of 2 pegs around the front of those 2 pegs and back around to the back, move to the next 2 pegs repeating the same step.

EW: E-Wrap: Repeat movement for CO, but toss the bottom loop over the top.

P: Purl: Send the working yarn through the bottom of the loop, pull through to the top, take off original loop and place new loop around the 2 pegs.

D: Decrease: Move the outer stitches to the next peg.

ID: Internals Decrease: Move every other loop to the next peg, EW the pegs toss both bottom loops over the top loop. Bring loops together and tighten up your loops.

DSBO: Draw String Bind Off: Send your cut tail through every loop and draw string together.

BO: Bind Off: EW2, Move loop 2 to peg 1 toss bottom loop over. Move loop over to peg 2. Now EW the second peg, move that loop to peg 1, toss bottom loop over and move that loop over to peg 2. Repeat from the EW second peg.

BCOLU: Bring Cast On Loops Up: Find your cast on loops and bring them back on the loom to bring 2 ends together for a finish. 

This pattern may seem intimidating, but if you have made my bear pattern before this is the same concept. The ears and tail are done separate. To get you started watch the video of the 2 peg EW it will show you the cast on and the general method of EW and Decrease. Then look at the how to bulk up your yarn so that you don't have your polyfil showing when the project is done. After that for a great general step by step follow the teddy bear video. The pattern is also written for a solid color dog.
