By Benjamin Krudwig




Here’s a quick project you can weave up just in time for Thanksgiving. The project requires only 4 squares, so you could easily finish in time to include Mr. Tom for your Thanksgiving table décor. Or, if you’re feeling ambitious: weave one for every place setting—a take-home gift for all of your guests.

What You'll Need

    Materials and Equipment

    • 36-40 yards of King Cole Drifter DK in the Color (Shade 1367) are needed for 4 squares.
    • Zoom Loom

    Directions

      Weaving and Assembly

      1. Weave 4 squares. Since this is a variegated, spaced-dyed yarn, each square will look a little different.
      2. Sew 3 squares into a 1x3 strip.
      3. Accordion-fold this strip and stitch one end together to create a fan shape. Set aside.



        Orient the 4th square so it is a diamond. Fold the top two sides to the center to create an upside down kite-shape. Sew these edges together.
      4. Fold the edges to the center one more time to create a skinnier kite shape. Then fold the edges together. Stitch along the edge. Fold down the skinny top to form a head and stitch it down.



        Sew this piece onto the front of the fan shape.
