How to Loom Knit a Coaster Mug Rug

Why does your mug need a rug? Because they’re cute, quick and easy to make and you can make them from scarps. I am looking forward to a ladies luncheon so I can show off my Mug Rug in many different colors. They also make great gifts when you match them up with a really pretty or cool mug. Most importantly it’s another unisex project. You know that there aren’t enough knitting patterns for men. Here is another good one.

As always this project includes a step by step video tutorial. You can find it at the bottom of the post. I hope you watch it completely before starting the project.

Learn how to knit the Little Pyramid stitch on the loom. This is the another one for my list of blanket stitches. Although its not reversible the back side doesn’t look bad. I have seen it on blanket patterns and it looks beautiful.To be honest, I’m considering this baby for a long sleeve cardigan. Stay tuned for that in the future. Especially because the weather is getting a little cooler around these parts.

I totally love the texture and simple lines that make it perfect for boys. But you can also use it for your favorite little girl by just making a color change say purple or pink. I’ve also considered adding little beads to the tips of the triangle.

The German Short Rows (GSR) Heel on a Knitting Loom

I know you also hate knitting the dreaded sock heel. But this technique is so awesome.

If you have made socks on a loom you know that the heel is a killer. And sometimes even after trying your best you still find holes. Well, not with the German Short Rows heel. It leave a tight and very neat fabric. I believe that even a beginner can handle it without a bit of worry or stress.

I am super excited about this scarf with sleeves project. I did mess up on the tester but that was great because I made the next one better. It is one of my favorite scarves ever.

If you know me, you know I love to knit washcloths and dishcloths. They’re easy, quick and usable. Another thing I love is that it’s a unisex fabric that can be used for everyone.

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.

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.

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.
