Could I use a 24 peg loom and how would the pattern change?
ReplyDeleteI have the pattern for the dog on a 24 peg loom on my How to Loom Knit Stuffed Animals Part 1 DVD. But even using this pattern you can double the size by simply E-Wrapping it rather than a flat knit.

ReplyDeletehi was just seeing if you minded a comment. i like your website and the thme you picked is super. I will be back. dog paw washer
ReplyDeleteI love this little dog I want to make it for my great granddaughter his birthday is coming up. My question is do you have a video showing the internal decrease I do not understand it. Also you say you are using double yarn but in the video you’re only using a single yarn so which would be the best. Thank you so much
