Knitting with DIY knitting wheel

I have to warn you that this is very addictive. I tried fingerknitting and armknitting but nothing compare to this one. I first found out about this technique using a toiletroll. But, I find that the toilet roll is too small. Then I started to look for something bigger around the house. Then I saw an empty Sangenic cassette lying in my 'Recycled DIY' box. It was a perfect size!

This knitting wheel knitting is super easy and fun.

Let's have some fun!

Crafting Time:

- 5 minutes to make the knitting wheel

-15minutes to make the flower loom 

- 1 hour or less to make the scarf

- 5 minutes to sew the flower loom onto the scarf

Ingredients:

- An empty Sangenic cassette (or anything with a round shape) 

- Ice cream sticks

- Scissors

- sticky tape

- Yarn

- Thread and Needle

Instructions:

The following diagrams will show you how.

Note: Make sure the sticks are in odd number.

Use 2 balls of yarn and make a 'zig-zag' movement around the ice cream sticks until each stick has 4 yarns as shown in the last diagram. 

Pick the bottom 2 loops and place it over the ice-cream stick. Repeat this step with the rest of the sticks until all sticks has only two yarns.

Repeat the 'zig-zag' movement again until all sticks have 4 loops in your ice cream stick. Then, pick the bottom 2 loops and place it over the ice-cream stick and repeat this step for all the sticks. Repeat these 2 steps until your desire length. 

When you are happy with the scarf length,go ahead and knit the first two sticks.  *Then, take the loop from the last stick you just knitted and place it on the first stick you already knitted next to it.  Now that stick has two loops on it, so knit it again and then your sticks.  Move that remaining loop to the next stick in the direction you are moving to bind off.  Now, move your working yarn so you are ready to knit the stick next to that one, and go ahead and knit it

.*  Repeat from * to * until …you end up with only two loops remaining on one stick.  Knit that stitch, cut your yarn, remove the remaining loop from your knitter.

Pull your yarn tail up tight through that loop. Repeat the same step with the other end of the yarn. Weave in the ends, and you’ve got yourself a scarf. Then sew the flowerloom
