How to Loom Knit the Windmill Stitch

How to Loom Knit the Windmill Stitch

 

This stitch I translated from a needle knit stitch. It isn't the exact translation but something that looks like it while making it easier to accomplish on the loom.

Follow the grid to help keep up with the stitch pattern. Also follow the video on questions you might have about the grid. 

Terms:

K: Knit

P: Purl

YO: Yarn Over

K2tog: Knit 2 Stitches Together

SSK2tog: Slip, Slip, Knit 2 Stitches Together

4RCC: 4 Stitch Right Cable Cross

EW: E-Wrap

(Note: when you see a yarn over combined with the K2tog or the SSK2tog there is will a decrease in the direction of the slant, but you always want the decreased stitch on the bottom when knitting the 2 together.) The video explains.

How to Make a Quick Valentine Keychain

How to Make a Quick Valentine Keychain!!!

Supplies:

Photopaper

Printer

Wallet Size Prints

Foam Heart Stickers

Rhinestone Strips

Clear Packing Tape 

Pen

Key Ring

Hole Punch

Scissors

Hot Glue and Glue Gun

All the supplies for this project short of the printer and glue gun can be gotten at a Dollar Tree making this project very cheap and easy to make. This is a project that can be touching to loved ones while taking little time to complete. Add other embellishments as desired. This is just a base line for you to start from.  

Lets get started step by step. 

Step One 

Print out your wallet size images that you think will fit nicely in the hearts. I personally like to print several out at once. 

Step Two

Take your image and place a foam heart sticker on the top to trace out the heart. 

Step Three

Cut out your picture from the traced heart. 

Step Four

Get your packing tape and cut you a 3 inch strip. Place over the picture. 

Step Five

Cut the tape down to have a quarter of an inch of tape extending past the image. Then cut slits on the tape around the corners for easier application to the foam heart next. 

Step Six

Take the paper off the back of the foam heart. Then place the picture onto the sticky part of the heart. Fold down tape edges to create a smooth edge. 

Step Seven

Punch hole in the corner of the heart. 

Step Eight

Take a strip of rhinestones and hot glue them around the edge of the heart. 

Step Nine

Add your key ring onto the finished heart. 

Step Ten

Now give it to someone you love.
