The bootie loom I used has 12 pegs 3/4" apart, the 12 peg flower loom
will work (I glued my pegs in since they come removable)! and about
1 oz
of 4
ply
yarn. (I used Simply Soft for the bootie in the photo)
You
will be
using 1 strand throughout and double
stitch = wrap loom 3 times around
and lift 1 strand over 2.
Starting: Using 1 strand of yarn, e-wrap the loom, 3 times around,
Lift 1 wrap over 2 wraps all around the loom.
Do 18 rows or about 2"
Bring up the inside and loop it over the pegs to form a brim for the
bootie.
Knit off the brim.
Continue wrapping and knitting till the full length bootie is 5.5" long
from the top of the brim.
Remove bootie from loom with the gathering method, just like you would
a hat.
Using a G hook make a 15" chain using a contrasting color and weave
through the bootie right under the brim for a tie.
Make another tube bootie to match.
