The Garter Stitch Scarf has so many great qualities. The stitch is easy, pretty, won’t curl and looks the same on both sides. What more can you want. Well how about a pattern and a video.
I focused on all the things you guys were asking for in a scarf design and combined them into this simple loom knitting project. I really hope you guys like it as much as I do.
According to my Google search Resolution is defined as: a firm decision to do or not to do something. Since this is December 31, 2016 I thought I would list my 10 resolutions for the Loomahat Brand 2017. Since you guys are the true recipients it’s only fair to share the projected journey.
Needless to say I’m only a human and so my list is fluid. Let’s just say that I will keep a copy in front of my computer until I have memorized it from top to bottom in the hope that I will stay focused and determined.
The headband scarf pattern is an experiment I’m hoping you guys can appreciate. It’s the solution to those bad hair days without needing to resort to the messy bun look. It’s an ear warmer attached to an open hat – but it’s not a cap. I know it’s all sounds crazy. Well you get you chance to let me know what you think by adding your questions and comments on the bottom of the page.
There are decreases but not to worry they’re not difficult at all because as always there is a step by step video for beginners and us visual learners.
In this post I want to teach you how to turn your favorite hat pattern into a Messy Bun hat pattern. It’s very easy and you don’t need to learn a special technique you don’t already know and you don’t need to add anything extra to your list of supplies. As always there is a short and simple video tutorial to help us visual learners.
If you don’t have a pattern in mind I will include a list of over 85 free patterns where you can choose one you like.
Loom Knit the Scarlett Flower named after one of my favorite loom knitting designers Scarlett Royal. It’s a very textured piece that works well alone but if you want to add character and drama to anything, this will do the job.
While watching Scarlett’s YouTube video for her Bonnie Bonnet pattern I learned an awesome little technique. I thought it would work nicely for making petals on flowers. I believe I was right. You tell me.
The Mock Crochet Stitch has a great texture and look. It is not an exact duplicate of a crochet stitch and that’s okay with me because it’s still beautiful and easy to do.
I remember being a bit confused the first time I read the instructions. Like many of you I learn better if I can “see” what I need to remember so I did a short video that shows you how to knit the Mock Crochet Stitch. If you prefer to read instructions I also did that and added some pictures.
I’m thankful that Tina Edgar created this awesome technique that we can now use to make all kinds of knitted art. Thank you Tina !
I wanted to design a Very Simple Slouchy and Cowl pattern specifically for the true beginner. This project turned out even nicer then I had expected. Not just cozy and warm but with a splash of cool elegance which makes it great for anyone.
Best Part of All: I used 1 loom, 1 skein of yarn, knit with 1 strand of yarn and finished the set in just 1 day.
The loom knit Yarn Holder Bag is compact, super cute and very useful. Take your knitting on an adventure in the car, the arm-chair or on the walking path. Yes you can knit and be mobile.
The staggered eyelet stitch pattern works well in this project especially when knitting with two strands as one. Its keeps your two strands close by but separated by tiny holes.

Stephanie Fenn is a sweet member of our Facebook family. This week she was nice enough to share her beautiful Red Heart Americana Yarn scarf picture with great information so you can make your own. Her instructions are so super easy anyone can make this. As always there is a helpful video. This one is not for the pattern but for the knit and purl stitches.
So for all of you proud Americans (me included) , and those that love anything Americana here is a great SUPER easy project. But note that the yarn is a key factor .
Yes you can get a tight stitch even if you use your Knifty Knitter, Boye, Loops and Threads at the beginning , through out your knitting and on the ends.
For this is need to know the different versions of the Knit Stitch. Below is a list and a short video to explain.
A great stitch for blankets, dish cloths and to add embellishment with strings and ribbon. I have wanted to add this to several patterns but it would work with my large gauge looms, until now. I was able to find a way to tweak the pattern so that it would work with my favorite looms.
Below is the basic pattern and a video to help the visual learner.
Some people just got it like that. They capture a concept and run with it. Juanita Husselmann followed a few patterns and within no time she was creating her own. As if that wasn’t enough she goes and designs a pattern for my favorite tiny super heroes, the Minions. They’re yellow (my favorite color), talk baby gibberish, they’re short, chubby and wear fashion forward overalls, I just love them.
Below is her Juanita’s free pattern. Very basic and easy to follow. If you want a printable PDF just click the link.This is her first so I thank her for allowing me to share with my Loomahat.com readers who I know will be kind, grateful and encouraging as always, to this beautiful young lady.
Feel free to leave comments and questions for Juanita or I in the comment section below the post.
Multiples in Knitting patterns were a total mystery to me when I first started loom knitting. The little plus sign after the multiples was even more confusing. I tried reading blog post after blog post but just the sheer number of words was overwhelming.
Making it simple for my readers was the objective. Besides, so many other folks have already done extremely well explaining this in writing that instead of reinventing the wheel, I made a short video.
The way you decide to wear the Mock Mesh Shawl it can create more warmth or more elegance. If you wrap it several times around your neck and chest you will be nice and warm. If you drape it loosely it will open up the stitch and allow the breeze through the fabric. But the best part of this shawl is that it will look just as good over a simple t-shirt as it would over a little black evening dress.
The pattern is a simple one and follows the stitch pattern that was posted HERE. Below is a step by step video tutorial for us visual learners. Hope you guys like it .
Knotted Fringe gives your project a classier more upscale look. These are often added to shawls, purses and even blankets and bed spreads. In Indian culture it’s called Kuchu or Kuchchu and you will often see them on Sarees, the traditional highly decorative dress.
I created this under 5 minute video to show you how to add the technique quickly and easily. For those of you that like written instructions, you will find them below.
