I loom knit a wreath to symbolize that I stand with Ukraine during this tragic time of war. Here is how I did it. What you need for wreath: 72 peg loom, loom hook, large eyed yarn needle, 2 colors of yarn (dark blue and yellow). Rounds 1-2: With dark blue yarn, double e-wrap all pegs, knit 1st round, flat knit 2nd round. I knit off the first 25 pegs of e-wraps and immediately u-wrapped or flat knit the same pegs, then repeated from around. This completed 2 rounds at the same time. Rounds 3-4: *e-wrap, knit around. flat knit around. Change color to yellow. Rounds 5-9: repeat *rounds 3 – 4 twice. Round 10: purl around. Round 11- 14: repeat *round 3-4 twice Rounds 15-19 repeat *round 3-4 twice Bring round 1 loop up onto the pegs of the loom, knit off all loops together. **Knit first 2 bottom loops over top loop on peg 1, knit off 2 bottom loops over top on peg 2, move loop on peg 2 over to peg 1, knit bottom loop over top, move back to peg 2, repeat from **around. What you need for sunflower (national flower for Ukraine): 16 peg loom, loom hook, large eyed needle, yellow and brown yarn.
*Double e-wrap first 2 pegs, knit, turn, flat knit back 2 pegs, turn, flat knit back 2 pegs, ** repeat *on next 2 pegs. In last turn, bring loop from between pegs 2 and 3 onto peg 3 and knit off with other loops. See picture 3 above. Repeat ** 6 times. You will have 8 petals. Change color. Rounds 2-3 flat knit around. Cut long tail, pull tail through loop on each peg, pull off loom and pull closed. Weave in all threads. Sew sunflower to wreath.
