How Do You Make Flowers On A Round Knitting Loom?
Round knitting looms to make flowers were all the rage in the early ’70s, and their daisylike creations are still seen on apparel and paper crafts. The beauty of these small round looms, which may be plastic or wooden, is you can make flowers from a variety of materials. Use your handcrafted flowers on homemade cards, scrapbook pages, knit or crochet projects, gift bags, or even strung together to make a scarf. Make a slip knot in your yarn or ribbon. Leaving a 36-inch tail, tie to any outer peg. Wrap the loom. Take the yarn straight across to the opposite peg, wrap counterclockwise around the peg, and bring the yarn back clockwise around peg one to make a figure-eight. Repeat one or more times on the same pegs for a fluffier flower. Continue with the next peg. Repeat the figure-eight with the peg directly across from it, wrapping the same number of times you did with the first set of pegs. Wind all sets of pegs. Repeat he figure-eight wrapping process until all pegs are wrapped. Trim
