Cardboard Roll Snake Knitting

November 5, 2015

TPKnit10

I’ve been busy working on setting up a project for my sons 1st grade class! It’s an easy “knitting” project that is perfect for elementary age kids. With a cardboard roll, tape, and popsicle sticks, you can set up a simple loom. Then just like you would finger weave, you wrap the yarn around the tops of the sticks and you can create a fun and easy knitted snake! Make it as long or short as you’d like. A long snake would make a cute cowl!

TPKnit1

Materials:
– Cardboard Roll (empty toilet paper or paper towel roll)
– Red Heart Super Saver variegated yarn.
– Popsicle sticks
– Masking tape

Directions:
1. Tape 5 popsicle sticks evenly around toilet paper roll. The sticks are supposed to be about a half inch or so over the tube. Make sure you loop the tape around several times in two spots so it’s secure.

2. Send end of yarn through tube. Now loop the yarn around the yarn around the top of popsicle sticks. As seen in picture below.

TPKnit5

3. To start second round, Take the yarn and just set it over the front of the first popsicle stick above the first loop you made.

TPKnit6

4. Take the first loop and pull it over the second strand of yarn and over the top of the popsicle stick.

TPKnit7

5. Continue just like that for as many rounds as you’d like! It should start to look like a spider web.

TPKnit11

When finished, slip loops off of stick tops and weave yarn through the loops to secure.

A great project for the kids to work on throughout the Fall and Winter! Keep in a baggy and take it on the go for the perfect boredom buster!

    This is so great, but it is NOT working in my head (my fault, not yours!). Is there any way you could either make a video showing how this is supposed to work, or direct me to one? I’m sure my daughters would love this!

    This isn’t working in my head either. Is the front of the stick on the outside or inside ? Your picture for ‘set the yarn over the front of the first popsicle stick’ appears that it’s on the inside but that doesn’t seem to make sense. Maybe when I actually build this and try it out it will make more sense. I really want to do this with my 6 & 4 year old grandkids!

    Thank you for this; Last year I managed to achieve my goal of all hand-made Christmas tree decorations & I was looking for something to top it this year. I’m making yards of this to use as “tinsel” from some grey/silver sparkly yarn & it’s looking great. It drapes really well, so I think it’s going to look awesome!

    Knitting is one of the most popular crafts around the world. It is a skill that anyone can learn and enjoy. But when it comes to making a single, long strand of yarn, the process can be tricky. That’s where the cardboard roll snake comes in online book marketing. This simple and fun craft uses a cardboard roll to help you create a long strand of yarn that you can use for a variety of projects.
