Namaste Friend!

Weaving allows you to create a totally different kind of fabric from knitting & crocheting, opening up your world to even more possibilities. In this month's YarnPlay, we're exploring fun with an amazing toy, woven (and finished with an i-cord trim) on the Martha Stewart Crafts^TM Knit & Weave Loom Kit.

Designer Noreen Crone-Findlay has created this wonderful woven elephant toy by using several different configurations of the loom.

Click here to see the pattern and see just how it's done, step-by-step.

Once you have these basic shapes down, you could recombine them for all kinds of creatures-- make an entire menagerie for the children in your life!

For more fun pattern ideas for use with the the loom, keep an eye on LionBrand.com! Plus click here for 24 videos on using the loom and its different configurations.

As always, we hope you'll keep playing and keep creating!

Your friends,

The YarnPlayers
