This form of “knitting” is very easy! All you need is a loom, pick, needle, yarn and scissors. The only difference
between the small blanket and shrug is the size of the loom that is used, also the shrug requires a small amount
of sewing. The small blanket can be used for a baby blanket in a stroller or carriage, a “blankie”, play mat or your
pet might like it as a lining for its bed – very washable. There are many uses for this small blanket; you can
donate it to the Linus Project – fire responders and police give it to children who have been in a fire or accident to
comfort them. The other project is a shrug, which is a shawl with short sleeves. This item has been very popular
with nursing home residents and others who need a little something on their shoulders during our “cool” winters
or to avoid drafts while in highly air conditioned areas. The yarn we use is soft, light weight and washable. For
these projects the yarn we use must be BERNAT BABY BLANKET. For those who have never loom knitted, this is a
great hobby that you can share with others. It is fun, easy and fast. You don’t need to count stitches or rows, just inches.
