Making of my Cup Holder



I am working on a loomknitted cup holder. Here is the bottom part. These are the instructions that I used for the bottom part.

Bottom
Start by creating your weaving base. Take one strand of yarn & tie a loose knot at peg
1 then go to the peg straight across, come back to the peg next to your beginning peg
and so on. When you get back to peg 1, untie the knot and tie the yarn together.
This is the base for your weaving. The middle will pinch together.

Weaving
Thread a tapestry needle single or double and start weaving.
You must go under two strands and then over two strands. This should be done a few times & then
pull everything to the center.
When you get back to the starting peg start doing the opposite of what you did on
your first round.
Continue weaving around until the bottom is all filled in. Weave your ends in
I am going to use the Half Stitch method when getting ready to knit around the loom. It should be done by sometime next week. I will see if my studies don't keep me from taking sometime to work on this cup holder.
