Available as a downloadable PDF Super cute, fast and fun boot toppers by Joanna Brandt that match great with the Tera Ear Warmers and Tera Fingerless Gloves (see my other available patterns). 5/8” Gauge Loom that is able to be worked in the round with either/or 24 (size small), 28 (size medium), or 32 pegs (size large). Boot toppers in photo are size medium and made on the CinDWood universal hat/scarf loom made for a calf measurement that is 14” with average US jean size of 6/8. Pattern is worked in the round and uses peg multiples of 4. Pattern can be adapted to other looms with peg multiples of 4. In addition to the universal hat scarf loom the 24 peg adult slipper loom (blue knifty knitter) can be used for size small and the 32 peg baby 2-18 month round loom can be used for size large. Intermediate level pattern is best suited for those familiar with or ready to learn how to knit, purl, and do a 2 stitch twist (video link provided to show this technique). Please contact me if you have any questions!
This loom is the perfect size and gauge to make a 10-stitch baby blanket with bulky (#5) yarn, I own other looms in this gauge, but they're round--fine for hats or scarves, but awkward for making blankets.
I am an elderly knitter with hands that don’t always do what I tell them. Larger gauge knitting looms mean fewer dropped stitches. But I love the look of projects done in a finer gauge. I took a chance and bought this loom to make a full size Afghan for my husband. For this Christmas. Madness! I had to start over a couple of times because I couldn’t fix a mistake. But lesson learned. In this age of instant gratification, I realized that a slower, more measured pace eliminated dropped stitches. And that I was a much more relaxed knitter. I’m 20 mistake free inches into the 70 inches for this project. I love the way it looks and feels. Sometimes it’s nice (and good for me) to ease up and enjoy the process. I’m very happy I bought this loom and am having this experience.
