Where can I find patterns for a knitting loom using Plarn?
October 18th, 2009 | by admin |Im looking for how to make a "hat" and a "bag" really. But if there is anything else I would be interested in it too.
If your not familiar with plarn. Its yarn made from cut up plastic bags. I found out about it recently and have been wanting to do something with it. I can’t find much myself. It can be crotchet, but I have trouble crocheting. My hands hurt trying to hold the hook and plarn. And then I found out about the knitting looms. Haven’t seen one in years and it looked like fun too. So I thought I use plarn with it, if possible.
I also like to know what size loom I need to make a hat too?
Thank you for your help.
In your search engine box, type in the words ‘knit loom patterns’.
I just did and there are 102,000 pages that you can work through at your leisure to find something that may work for you.
There are a number of different loom types. I’m not sure if your plastic bags will work, but that may depend on the type of loom.
I would suggest you also do a search for ‘knit loom groups’ – my results show there are around 200,000 of them and includes forums. Look through a couple of those and maybe even join a couple if they appeal – they are all willing to give help if you need any and may have other suggestions that you could use with your hand problems.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
