The Japanese Origami Market Bag is an easy loom knitting pattern. It does need a little bit of basic sewing. But like all my patterns its possible for even a beginner as long as they watch the video at the end of this post completely before starting the project. Plus, be sure to watch completely for another strap option.
Would you like to know how to loom knit a mermaid doll? I’m hoping that you do, so I designed a pattern with a step by step video tutorial. It’s a long video for a toy project that is not difficult but it does involves 6 pieces and a few additional details.
If you want to see the process I took to create this project visit my Instagram page, click HERE. It was like bring my followers on my journey towards a mermaid doll pattern.
This project is quick, easy and makes a great gift when you add a pretty mug. It takes less than 10 yards of yarn and a couple of hours. This means you get to use up some of that scarp yarn and make a family or friend very happy. I always love finding scrap yarn projects that are fun to make and fun to give. By the way, you’re allowed to give yourself a cup cozy.
A loom knit poncho with a lacy stitch is perfect for summer if you knit using light weight yarn. The great thing is that you can use the same pattern for the winter. All you need to do is use a chunky yarn. Both will look beautiful.
I’m really happy with the pattern. I hope you all will enjoy the video tutorial.
Layered tassels are so much fun to make. I am officially obsessed with these things. Hope to add them to projects. Keep in mind that this was made to be attached to something. That pattern is coming soon. In the meantime I’m sure you have something that needs so color, attach layered tassels and you’re set.
The Shoe Bag project is not just an easy pattern you can finish in a day but it can also be used to make a cool market bag or a simple back pack. All you have to do is add straps and for that you would use the same rope used for the drawstring, just place it differently. Folks, I really like this one.
I used acrylic yarn but I think cotton might be a better option. I didn’t have a chance to test it with an alternative yarn but if you do – please let us know if you liked it better.
When you think you have a medium worsted weight yarn but you actually have a sport weight yarn, you can end up with a product that is a very different size than you thought. Look at the feature picture so you can see what I mean. Both of the yarns I bought were labeled as worsted weight but when I tested them, it turned out that the yellow (10 WPI) was worsted and the blue was a sport weight (13 WPI) yarn.
Wraps per inch, is a technique used to figure out the weight of yarn. Like if you have scarp yarn with no label, this system gives you the ability to know the weight with a very simple procedure.
The bad news is that I did not find consistency with the numbers on the chart worldwide. Sometimes the difference between one chart and the other was huge. However, I did find that this was mostly true when I researched organizations or companies. Most of the people making the tools used for this technique were consistent with their numbers. That made me very happy and excited about sharing with you what I’d learned.
I was asked on Facebook if I could design a pattern and make a video for Tiny Bows. I remembered that the little feet on my Tiny Chicks actually looked like a bow. So I took some clips from that video and a portion of the pattern to create this post and the video below.
I believe this is a very easy pattern. I hope you guys find it useful. You can add these cuties to baby booties ,hats, socks or even attach a key ring. The possibilities are limitless. Be sure to check out the baby booties pattern and the Tiny Chicks.
Mini purse key chain are super cute accessories for your purse. A great little portable container for coins, candy or anything tiny enough to fit in the miniature case. What is so cool is that you can just add more rows to customize the case to fit your lip gloss, pepper spray or even a very private item such as a small tampon.
Below is a step by step instruction video for the basic pattern. The written pattern includes additional patterns.
This beautifully textured dishcloth is so easy and fast to knit. Best of all, you can use whatever loom you have on hand. I made sure to use a large gauge, mass produced, plastic loom, because that’s what most people already have. Those that do not, can get one online for under $3.00 and free shipping. This was very important to me because this is one of my favorite, favorite gift for friends and family.

Please note that I did not name it the Faggot Stitch nor was I trying to be rude. The term is from the late 13th century and was used to describe a bundle of twigs or sticks used for fuel. However we feel about the word, it is a super cool stitch so please take no offense and so with our emotions and politics in our pocket, let’s move forward with the pattern.
There are several versions, this happens to be my favorite because it looks the closest the Rickrack Rib Stitch but is much easier to do. Everyone knows I love EASY.
