Daisy Looms: Make Your Own Triangular Loom
|
I became obsessed with triangular daisies when I found a **finished** auction for a triangular loom on Ebay. I have never seen another one so I drew up a shape for an ice-cream lid loom and this is the result :-) |
Materials:
- One flexible plastic ice cream container lid
- A biro
- A permanent marker
- Scissors
Print the template for your loom and trace it onto your ice cream lid. I trace mine by pressing hard with a biro so it leaves a mark on the plastic, then trace over the lines with a permanent marker.
Cut the loom out.
Wash thoroughly to remove the ink.

This is my loom, cut from an ice cream container lid. I also made a template for a half-size loom but it was too small to be of any use. |
 |
Triangular looms are used in exactly the same way as round and square looms. Just make sure to keep your petals separate at the corners. I made a triangular daisy with a satin stitch centre surrounded by two rounds of stem stitch. |

My finished triangular flower before I crocheted around the edge. For the crocheted edge I worked a double crochet (US single crochet) into each petal, separated by 4 chain |
