Next, for the Harry Potter Swap I knitted a puffskein on the blue KK round loom. I started with the inside color which is pink and switched to the furry tan halfway through. Then, inserted an elastic hairban and knitted it closed like the band on a beanie hat. After binding off and drawing the hole closed, I added a pink tail, some bead eyes, and a hairclip inside to make it perch on your shoulder.
More pics of the puffskein I forgot that I took:
The box was made from an oatmeal container that was cut down to size and painted. I added some raisins in the box to look like...(well you know)...and made a label from the Magical Menagery.
Before the Puffskein, I also made Pygmy Puffs for my daughter and her cousin. It was basically the same construction as the Puffskein.
hello, I have the basic tube made bit now sure how or why you did the hair tie...can you explain a bit more clearly? also on the bind-off/closing? mine is in a mossy green coloring.
ReplyDeleteMine is a pouch. The elastic hairband forms the mouth hole and keeps it shut kinda like a scrunchy. I also put the medium-sized hair clippy inside so that the teeth stick out of the bottom, so it attaches to things like your shoulder. He is two layers thick folded over itself, like you turn a beanie hat brim. The elastic is put inside before you you knit it closed and bind it off. Making it two layers gave it more fluff or body. So, he's not flat.
ReplyDeleteHope this helps.
