More Pick-Up Stick Loom Experiments

Here is an earlier attempt at "pick-up stick" loom showing what it looks like in the middle of some decreasing:

Here is the results.

I made a cone hat for my daughters doll. It was mostly an experiment in decreasing on the loom. I removed 1 peg at several points equally all around the loom after every 9 rows. It is pretty small and I used black yarn, so it's really hard to see the decreases.

Once I started building it with 2 sticks together, I tried a sample starting in 1 over 2 and switching to regular 1 over 1 on the top. I eventually made an adult size of this pattern, but failed to take a pic before it dissappeared.

  1. I love seeing your experiments. Your stuff comes out at such a fine gauge. I can't wait to make mine!

  2. Thanks. I like small gauge, but it takes a lot more time and patience. :)

    If you make one and post results, would it be alright if I link to it on here?
