It's the same one you use to make the brim of a hat (only on this project I call it a cuff lol). It'll make you a 2 inch cuff and look really nice; you can do any length you want, just knit for double the length of the cuff and flip over. I have a mitten loom which works wonders for this project; it's just the right size, so no stretching or tightness and I just use the e wrap stitch.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34810175.post-66295094802877697902013-01-09T21:04:37.432-07:002013-01-09T21:04:37.432-07:00To bind off I recommend trying this super-stretchy...To bind off I recommend trying this <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGMtqK-UrDw" rel="nofollow">super-stretchy bind off</a>. For this method you weave working yarn up and down through your stitches with a sewing needle, it ends up looking like the e-wrap cast on and is easy on the fingers.<br /><br />Try blocking to help keep the e-wrap cast on edge from curling. The Purl Bee has an excellent <a href="http://www.purlbee.com/blocking-tutorial/" rel="nofollow">tutorial</a>. I have a bit of a curl in mine, but it isn't noticeable while I'm wearing them.kelly smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12244105498854277363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34810175.post-88920575961323562472013-01-09T20:36:40.734-07:002013-01-09T20:36:40.734-07:00How do I bind this s*it off?!

(knit pegs 14 and 13 together, knit back to peg 1, knit around to peg 13, wrap peg 14, knit peg 1 and continue in pattern)<br />-6 rounds knit then bind off<br /><br />Good Luck!

I've tried to find an illustration or video to clarify this for me, but youtube and google are failing me for once. Could you explain a little further what you mean? Also, the other alice wrist warmer patterns I've come across say to use the smaller flower loom, do you find that the blue loom makes them too loose? I'm making mine for a fairly small high schooler and I would like them to fit fairly snug.Stelladorohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08208275944944079021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34810175.post-79334436479405762212009-12-03T07:43:50.890-07:002009-12-03T07:43:50.890-07:00And after all your had work YOU WON :-)And after all your had work YOU WON :-)wjsmthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07688259524385496172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34810175.post-86751771327522345192009-12-01T07:43:06.565-07:002009-12-01T07:43:06.565-07:00but it seems my looms are in nampa ;-)but it seems my looms are in nampa ;-)wjsmthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07688259524385496172noreply@blogger.com
