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.

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

Super Stretchy Bind-off Flat Panel

How to Loom Knit the Super Stretchy Bind-off for Flat Projects

One of my Facebook followers asked about a good bind-off for her scarf. For those patterns done with a textured stitch I really like the super stretchy bind-off flat. I decided it would be a great idea to do a video for this sweet lady because I know it’s easier to see the technique instead of reading instructions.

Below is a six-minute step by step video for the cast-off. Keep in mind that the loom should not determine your bind-off. You should use the project to decide if this is the right one for you. I love using it for not just scarves but stuff like blankets, dish cloths, towels and any flat project that needs a bind-off that will stretch.
