A pair of kitten (fingerless) mittens for my RedditGifts Colors 2016 match! They indicated their favorite color was yellow and that they were eyeballing some cat ears on etsy, so I decided to make them a set of yellow tabby fingerless gloves.

I googled a chart for a pawprint that would fit on half of the pegs of my 36-peg 3/8” fine gauge CinDWood glove loom that I just received this week.

About midway through the pawprint pattern, I stopped working in the round and started working a flat panel to create a thumb hole. Because I was working fingers-down on the project, I was able to insert my hand into the project to test and see if the thumb hole was large enough before I closed the project back up and worked in the round again.

The cuff is 10 rows of k1p1 rib using true knits, and the body is 5 rows of yellow in u-wrap followed by 5 rows of white in u-wrap.

My first double knit loom item – a camo blanket on the 1/2” gauge CinDWood 60” Universal S-Loom.

I did try to make it at first with a single strand of worsted weight, but it had absolutely no structure and was quite holey, so I frogged it and started over with two strands of worsted weight yarn held together as one.

I wanted to make a hat with some color to practice loom knitted color changes. I asked my husband what he wanted, and he chose the camo colors and wanted a fold-over brim. I used all 64 pegs on the 1/2” Universal Hat & Scarf Loom to make this hat.

I did a k2 p2 rib brim before starting on my camo stitch pattern. All of my knit stitches used the u-wrap stitch, and the stitch pattern included slip stitches.
