Lip Balm Holder
Step 1. Gather your supplies Spool Loom with 8 pegs on one end 15 yards of yarn ( I used worsted weight acrylic - cotton would work great too) Button with a shank back on it Lanyard or split key ring (optional) Tapestry Needle for weaving in ends Scissors Stitch Marker for loom
Step 2. Pass yarn through the shank of the button Step 3. Scoot the button down the working yarn a couple of feet Step 4. DO NOT PLACE SLIP KNOT ON YARN,just drop the end down into the spool loom far enough that it comes out the end. Step 5. Place stitch marker on peg 1. Weave your yarn in front of peg 1, behind, peg 2, in front of peg 3, behind peg 4, in front of peg 5, behind peg 6, in front of peg 7, and behind peg 8 (based on the modified adjustable cast on by Brenda Myers) Step 6. Place your working yarn in front peg 1 and knit bottom loop over the top, skip peg 2, knit peg 3, skip peg 4, knit peg 5, skip peg 6, knit peg 7, skip peg 8 - when you finish this round, all 8 pegs should have one loop on them.

Step 9. Knit pegs 1 and 2, move your button all the way down the yarn until it is centered between pegs 2 and 3. Knit pegs 3 - 8. Step 10.
