Loom Knitting the Loopy Stitch Pattern

Loopy stitch on a knitting loom

If you follow me on Instagram you know that I have been playing around with the Loopy Stitch pattern for a while now. I finally figured it out and before I post the Loopy Fingerless Gloves pattern I want you all to know how to do this really cool stitch. Watch the video all the way to the end for a preview of the gloves.  I also like it for socks, scarves, boot cuffs, a little sheep and a lot of other stuff. I think it can make any project a bit more fun. 

The stitch looks more complicated than it really is. One thing that I do want to tell you in advance is that it is time-consuming. Personally, I think it’s worth the extra time.

How to Loom Knit the Purl in 8 Hat AKA Not Crochet

Loom Knit Beanie Purl in 8 Hat

In November the Purl in 8 Hat also known as the Not Crochet Hat and Cowl pattern was exclusive for Patreon patrons. I asked them about doing a video and many agreed for me to do a pattern video. So thanks again patrons for your generosity.

This is such a rich textured stitch which is now my favorite. I think you will agree with me.  The stitch designer is Stephanie May and you can find her on Facebook and Instagram under the name, LoomaticFrindge.

Below the supply list and more information. Please note that the cowl is only available in the written PDF pattern.

Loom Knit Chunky Mens Cowl Pattern Video

Loom Knit a Chunky Mens Cowl on Any Loom

Chunky Mens Cowl

Cowls are GREAT for quick gifts and for charity. Less time and less yarn for a good-looking scarf. Not to mention, there just aren’t enough patterns for our men, so here is a Chunky Loom Knit Men’s Cowl. You can use any loom round, long, rectangular or even an S loom. You just need 24 pegs. The pattern is basically a repeat of 1 row of 2 easy stitches.

Below is a list of supplies and the step by step video tutorial. Some are optional but the bulky or super bulky yarn is not. The look of the fabric is very different by using a lighter weight yarn. The stitch makes a very lacy fabric if the yarn is light weight.

Loom Knit Garter Stitch Hat Pattern Video

Simple Garter Stitch Hat on an Extra Large Knitting Loom

Loom Knit Garter Stitch Hat

This garter stitch hat is a classic. There is a really good reason for that and it’s because the garter stitch is easy to knit and it makes everything look great.

I used a super bulky yarn for a quick, warm, cozy winter wear. And, when I say super easy and super quick, I mean you can complete the pattern in 2 hours or less. I know this because I actually timed myself when I made the beige and brown hat. This makes it a great charity and gift giving pattern. By the way, the two-tones make it my favorite.

Another reason to consider the bulky yarn is the overall look of the fabric. Using a different weight will look a bit different. If you intend to use worsted weight you may need to as far as using 3 strands.

I will repeat this statement for the thousand time; be sure to watch the video completely before you start your project.

Oversized Cowl on a Knitting Loom Pattern Video

Loom Knit the Purl in 8 Oversized Cowl

Oversized cowl Loom Knit

I am officially obsessed with this oversized cowl and the Purl in 8 stitch by Stephanie May aka Loomatic Fridge. I think it looks great in every color and on everybody. If you know me, you know I love unisex projects. That makes gift giving a breeze.

I do believe the yarn is key to accomplishing the look. My husband picked this particular yarn and I believe it was the best choice. A combination of wool and acrylic makes it the best of luxury and economics. By the way, It’s chunky and soft, two qualities you want from winter wear.

As for the pattern, it is not difficult. In fact, once I got going, I found it very therapeutic. I was even able to catch up on some of my favorite YouTube creators while I finished the project.

Like most of my designs, this one has a step by step video tutorial. There is a written pattern that you can buy on Etsy. There is a link below. But I believe the video is easy enough that you can complete the oversized cowl by just watching me knit the project. If you do buy the pattern, thank YOU so much. I greatly appreciate the support.

I made these teeny, tiny hats for my Fuzzy Dots because I had a few pictures in mind and I thought they would look more fun wearing them.  Since then, I have been asked many times for the pattern. I decided it was time to write one and film a video to go with it.

By the way, they should fit most of the Ballerina Dolls made with my pattern. They should also fit your Barbie Dolls well.

Loom Knitting is Not REAL Knitting

Some Say that Loom Knitting is Not Real Knitting

Loom Knitting is not Real Knitting

I saw a discussion on Knitting Paradise several years ago about whether Loom knitting should be considered as real knitting. It was quite interesting to me although I must say that it was not the first time I had heard a statement of that sort.

Below are several comments. This is a small sample of my experience with this sentiment. I created a film you can share with those that feel this way. Scroll to the bottom of the post to see it.

Knit a Fob on a 24-peg Loom for Scissors or Keys

Scissor Fob

Fob is defined as; a short strap, ribbon, or chain attached especially to a pocket watch. We don’t really use pocket watches anymore, but we do use scissors and keys. Some of us really appreciate a beautiful pair of scissors. A fob can turn an ordinary pair of scissors into a treasured gift for any occasion. Make it even more personal by knitting one in the color and style of your choice.

This project is super quick and easy to knit, add it to a vintaged scissor and place the set in a special gift box for your loved one.   I hope you guys like it as much as I have.

Below is the step by step, beginner easy, video tutorial. Be sure to watch it completely before starting.

Loom Knit the Large Eyelet Rib Stitch Pattern

Large Eyelet Rib Stitch

Peggy, a sweet supporter of Loomahat.com had requested a new stitch pattern for hats and scarves. I have wanted to say thank you to her in a very special way for such a long time. I’m super happy to do that with this pattern. The Large Eyelet Rib stitch pattern was a beast for me to figure out. I thought it would be quick and easy, but because I wanted to use a large gauge loom things got complicated. Good thing is that I got it figured out, it’s now become a favorite because it really is an easy pattern.

One of it’s best features is that the results work well for men and women. This is important for people who knit for charity because they have no idea who is getting your gift.

Below is a video tutorial for the flat version of the pattern. To get the version in the round you need to purchase the written pattern. Here is a link: Click HERE

Loom Knit Brimless Hat Pattern Video

Bottom Up Brimless Hat

I love an easy brimless hat with a nice, neat edge as much as the next guy. It’s even better when I can make it work using my large gauge loom because I can finish faster. Here is a pattern with a stretchy stitch that bounces back and fits almost anyone. Works for both men and women so it makes it a great project for charities.The video is only 12 minutes from beginning to end so it doesn’t require a lot a time to watch it.

It’s called the Bottom Up hat because you knit the crown first which is different from the average loom knit hat pattern. You usually knit the brim first and end the project with the top of the hat. I guess you can also call it an upside down hat.

Its no secret that China is the worlds factory. For many years, Western countries have outsourced manufacturing jobs to China in order to save money and reduce their production costs. But how does this affect products made for Canadians? The answer is simple: it doesnt. Canada imports over $30 billion worth of goods from China every year from wethenorth darknet , making them our number one trading partner by a wide margin. Despite being so reliant on Chinese imports, there are virtually no safety standards enforced by the Canadian government. This means that most imported goods are not tested or regulated before they hit store shelves here at home - which can be dangerous for unsuspecting consumers who may accidentally purchase these unsafe products without knowing any better! Well talk more about.
