Tiny Pumpkin on Small Loom Pattern Video

Make a Tiny Pumpkin on a Round Knitting Loom

The Tiny Pumpkin pattern was originally designed and published with no video in 2017. That is because it’s basically a larger version of the Rib Stitch Flower.

This year, I thought is was time to update the pattern and give it , it’s own video. So for those who have been with me for at least 2 years – consider taking a second look at this super easy, super cute, super quick project. The instructions for the stem, leaf and the wire spiral are included in the written pattern.

Just a few ideas to consider. This is great way to use up all that fall colored scrap yarn. AND by the way, these make great pin cushions. One more, use red yarn and they look like apples – for teachers. Okay, I can’t help myself – leave out the stem and the leaf and you have a safe Christmas ornament for your tree. I promise this is the last one, add catnip for the perfect pet toy. That really was the last one.

How to Loom Knit the Garter Stitch Rectangles

The Garter Stitch Rectangles is the first in a series of blanket stitches. Many of my Patreon Patrons have new babies and they want to knit for them. Although this stitch is not really reversible the back of the fabric looks very good. The pattern is super interesting in that combines the rib stitch with a basket weave. That gives the fabric a stretchy character. That’s a plus in loom knitting.I think it would make a beautiful cocoon with a matching hat. Even a super cool brimless hat for an adult. Watch for any one of these patterns. Make sure you subscribe to the YouTube channel and follow me on social media for updates.

As always I filmed a video tutorial. This pattern is made up of 6 stitches and 26 rows but it is super easy. It combines the rib stitch with a basket weave. Watch the step by step video tutorial below.

How to Loom Knit the Sleeveless Ridged Ribbon Cardigan

Michelle Y., my Patreon patron asked to for an open vest cardigan pattern. She is a beautiful person who has invested in me and I wanted to do this for her. But life is funny because this project is now one of my favorites. It’s so great that she asked. I hope you will feel the same.

The cardigan is a one size fits all but I added a smaller variation in the written pattern. The video will only show the one size fits all. Scroll down the page for that step by set video tutorial.

Loom Knit the Ridged Ribbon Stitch

The ridged ribbon stitch is an easy pattern. Its made up of 3 stitches and 6 rows. It is not exactly the same as the knitted version. I did have to make some changes to make it work for a large gauge loom and one strand of yarn.

If you’ve been following me for a while, you know that I’m on a mission. I am collecting lace and eyelet stitches that can be made on a large gauge loom and worsted weight yarn. After this pattern I think I will start focusing on stitches for blankets. Stay tuned for that series.

Below is the video tutorial for the stitch, a supply list and the video tutorial. I hope you enjoy it and tell me what you think in the comment sections.

How to Knit a Newborn Hat on a Large Gauge Loom

Loom knit a newborn hat for your baby or as a gift. Too often I have heard from followers and organizations that loom knit baby hats have holes. But you can knit a baby hat on a large gauge loom with no holes or chunky yarn. And, you don’t need to knit with two strands. The key is the version of the knit stitch and the size of your loom. Also I don’t use light weight baby yarn. I use a single strand of medium, number 4, worsted weight yarn. My favorite is Caron Simply Soft by Yarnspirations.

Scroll down for the free, simple, folded brim hat pattern with a step by step video tutorial.

Wheat Lace Stitch Loom Knitting Pattern Video

Loom Knit the Wheat Lace Stitch

The Wheat Lace is another stitch in my collection of lace and eyelet stitches done on a large gauge loom. Because I used that loom the middle of the two eyelets is large and loose. I happen to like it that way but I also wanted to share with you the original look of the stitch and so there are 2 versions of the stitch in the written pattern and the video.

One con about this beauty is that it curls on the ends and requires blocking. I prefer steam blocking the fabric. To see how I do this, click HERE.

Loom Knit Water Bottle Cover Pattern Video and Info

Knit a Water Bottle Holder on a Small Loom

It’s incredibly hot and you and I should be caring a bottle of water EVERYWHERE we go. Here is a pattern that makes it better and easier to do just that. It’s a water bottle cover holder.

There are 2 patterns included for 3 options of covers. A basic one, one with a strap for a hook or 2 straps to use as a holder. The last option is a holder with a pocket. This one is special. My reason for designing it was because you can give it to a homeless person and include a note of encouragement or in my case a bible verse. It also is great for your child’s lunch box or as gift with a key or money. Add 2 straps on the sides for a baby bottle. The possibilities are endless.

Little Arrowhead Lace Stitch Pattern Video

Loom Knit the Little Arrowhead Lace Stitch

I love the little arrowhead lace stitch. It has texture and detail but is simple to knit. I’m very happy that I was able to convert this eyelet pattern to work on a large gauge loom. So many of the stitches I want to share don’t look right if you don’t use a small gauge loom. Sometimes you can’t even see the stitch at all. It’s lost in the loose loops. But with the use of several versions of the knit stitch I’ve manage to make things work for this lovely.

I hope you will give the little arrowhead lace stitch a try. As with most of my patterns the video will walk you through the stitch repeat. This way of writing out the pattern is not conventional but I find it to be easier for beginners.The written pattern includes a simple and a complete version of the flat for scarves and shawls and a round version for hats, socks and bags.

Lovey Blanket on a Knitting Loom Pattern Video

Loom Knit Sleepy Lamb Lovey Blanket

A lovey blanket is a great gift for a baby shower or new baby’s room. But I do think it’s more appropriate for toddler. Either way it was fun to make and it’s super cute.

It took me some time to decide on the toy. My first try was with a tiny doll. But I picked the sheep because they remind me of soft wool and comfortable beds. I guess I’ve been brainwashed by the commercials.

This project did take me a long time to complete. The stitch pattern has a lot of yarn overs but I believe it’s worth the time. Also take into consideration that this is not a beginner friendly project but if you’re brave then dive in. It can’t hurt to stretch your loom knitting skills.

The acorn stitch is the best basket weave stitch I have ever seen. Since last year I have wanted to knit a lovey blanket.

Zig-Zag Eyelet Stitch Pattern Video

Loom Knit the Zig-Zag Eyelet Stitch Pattern

I have wanted to do a version of the zig-zag eyelet stitch for a long time. My big problem was making it work on a large gauge loom. The issue I have with small gauge looms is that they are expensive and very time-consuming. But you have to admit that there is nothing like the tight stitch those looms give you.

Well after 2 days of knitting, frogging and knitting, frogging and knitting , I got the results I wanted. I am super happy with this lacy stitch. It has so much texture and character. Best of all, you can use it for any member of the family. The fabric is not reversible but I believe it looks really good too. Take a look at the picture below. The eyelets are visible and give the purled fabric a look of inter-locking strips.

My plan is to make a small cowl. Tell me your plan in the comment section
