Abstract
Disclosed is a convertible knitting loom that includes a first body and a second body that are connected via a hinge so that the bodies can rotate relative to each other and used in more than one configuration. Each body includes knitting pegs for weaving and knitting yarn. The first and second bodies are configured to be provided in at least first (closed) configuration such that the first body and the second body are parallel to each other and a second (open, linear) configuration such that the bodies are substantially linearly aligned. A removable fastener or lock pin can be used to lock the bodies of the loom in either the first or second configuration.
Claims18
A knitting loom comprising:
- a base structure having a first part and a second part;
- the first part extending in a longitudinal direction having a first end and a second end, the first part having a plurality of knitting pegs provided between the first end and the second end;
- the second part extending in a longitudinal direction having a third end and a fourth end, the second part having a plurality of knitting pegs provided between the third end and the fourth end;
- the first end of the first part and the third end of the second part being hingedly connected together by a hinge such that the first part and the second part are configured to move relative to each other within a same plane such that the knitting loom is positioned in either in a first configuration wherein the first part and the second part are parallel to each other or a second configuration wherein the first part and the second part are provided at an angle relative to each other.
A knitting loom comprising:
- a first body extending in a longitudinal direction having a first end and a second end and having a plurality of knitting pegs extending therefrom;
- a second body extending in a longitudinal direction having a third end and a fourth end and having a plurality of knitting pegs extending therefrom;
- a hinge connecting the first body and the second body, the first body and the second body configured to rotate relative to each other via the hinge within a same plane;
- the first body and the second body being configured to be provided in a closed configuration such the first body and the second body are parallel to each other and being configured to be provided in an open, linear configuration wherein the first body and the second body are substantially linearly aligned,
- wherein, in the closed configuration, the second end of the first body and the fourth end of the second body are locked in the closed configuration using a removable lock pin, and wherein, in the open, linear configuration, the first end of the first body and the third end of the second body are locked in the open, linear configuration using the removable lock pin.
