Instructions
How to create this flower - Create a loop and place onto one of the outer pegs, ensuring the knot sits in the centre of the hole.
Now take the wool over to the opposite peg take around the back over to the next peg.
Wrap around the second peg and take back to the peg next to the one you started with.
Wrap around the back of both pegs and take over to the next peg along.
Wrap around two pegs and bring back to the next peg along.
Continue to work in this way wrapping around two pegs until there are four loops on each peg.
Cut the wool allowing 40cm or 16” and lock loops into place using a back stitch.
Push down on the wool trying to get it to sit as flat as possible.
Now create a loop and place onto one of the pegs in the middle, ensuring the knot sits in the centre of the hole.
Then repeat the process but working on the inner circle of pegs this time.
When the pegs have three loops cut the wool allowing 40cm or 16” and lock loops into place using a back stitch.
Tie off securely and slip flower off of loom.
