Abstract
A loom includes a plurality of knitting pegs. The loom further includes a substantially non-circular base structure configured to hold the plurality of knitting pegs substantially perpendicular to the plane of the substantially non-circular base structure. The substantially non-circular base structure also includes an elongated orifice having a long axis and a short axis. The plurality of knitting pegs form two substantially parallel rows of knitting pegs separated by the short axis of the elongated orifice. The loom also includes at least one knitting peg near the apex of the long axis of the elongated orifice and between the two substantially parallel rows of knitting pegs.
Claims22
A loom comprising:
- a plurality of knitting pegs;
- and
- a substantially non-circular base structure connected to said plurality of knitting pegs, wherein the plurality of knitting pegs are arranged substantially perpendicular to said substantially non-circular base structure, wherein said substantially non-circular base structure comprises an elongated orifice having a long axis and a short axis, wherein said plurality of knitting pegs are arranged to form two substantially parallel rows of knitting pegs that are substantially perpendicular to said short axis of said elongated orifice;
- at least one knitting peg of the plurality of knitting pegs defining one or more intermediate pegs and being aligned along the long axis of said elongated orifice and arranged between said two substantially parallel rows of knitting pegs;
- and
- at least one end peg arranged on the substantially non-circular base structure, wherein the at least one end peg arranged substantially perpendicularly to the plurality of knitting pegs and the at the one or more intermediate pegs.
A loom comprising:
- an elongate base having two beams, said two beams connected at their first ends by a first connecting member, said two beams connected at their second ends by a second connecting member, whereby the connection of the two beams by the first and second connecting members form an elongate orifice;
- a plurality of pegs extending from said each of said two beams;
- at least one peg extending from one or more of the first and second connecting members, said at least one peg being spaced substantially equidistant to the nearest of said plurality of pegs extending from each of said two beams;
- and
- at least one end peg extending front one of said first connecting member and said second connecting members, wherein the at least one end peg is arranged substantially perpendicularly to the plurality of pegs and the at least one peg.
A method of knitting a tube shaped knit material, the method comprising:
- providing a substantially non-circular loom having two beams that are connected at their first ends by a first connecting member, said two beams connected at their second ends by a second connecting member, whereby the connection of the two beams by the first and second connecting members form an elongate orifice;
- providing a plurality of pegs upon the substantially non-circular loom by arranging a plurality of knitting pegs around the elongated orifice, and arranging at least one end peg substantially perpendicularly the plurality of pegs;
- utilizing the substantially non-circular loom for attaching a first end of a length of material to the at least one end peg, and wrapping the material about said plurality of knitting pegs for forming a tube shaped body from the length of material.
