Santa Hat on a Round Knitting Loom

Every year someone will ask for a Santa hat pattern. This year I decided I would do an adult version. I hope you guys will like the textured brim and the knitted pom-pom. Both are a bit different but I think they make the hat a fun design. This video is only for the hat but the knitted pom-pom video should be available shortly. The written pattern does include both the hat and the pom-pom.

The step by step video link for the hat pattern is below. Please feel free to share your questions, comments or suggestions. All of them are greatly appreciated.

How to do a Wire Spiral Video Tutorial

A wire spiral is very useful for several craft projects. I like to use them as card holders for seating arrangements. You can also put short announcements, reminders and even a quick list. They can also hold your post it notes off your computer screen. For that I might need 12 bakers dozen. Not to worry, because they are quick and easy to make. Now all you have to do is make the base and for that I have a cute idea below.

This short video shows how to make wire spirals with supplies you probably already have at home. No special tools are necessary. ( Read More )…

Braided Headband on a Round Loom

I wanted to design a warm braided headband that would look cool and stylish. This project takes very little yarn, and can be done in just a few hours. I did a second headband in a light pink which my daughter loves. I can’t wait to see all the colors you guys will use. I’m considering some happy bright colors for the next one. Some Caron Simply Soft in jewel tones would be beautiful.

Rib Stitch Napkin Holder Pattern Video

The Rib Stitch napkin holder is part 3 of the table setting series. Recently I posted the Rib Stitch Flower and completed the Tiny Pumpkin pattern.

It’s perfect for personal use and for gift giving, for a new homeowner, a ladies group or party favor.

The pattern is available for purchase but the it’s very simple and the video is enough for the average person to complete the project. I do suggest watching the video from the start to the end where I give a few cool suggestions.

Chinese Wave Stitch on a Knitting Loom

So I’m officially obsessed. The Chinese wave stitch is beautiful. It is also know as the Rich Man’s Garter, the Knit Loop Stitch and the Slip Stitch Honeycomb. I can tell you that as much as I tried I could not get a picture that would do justice to this stitch. It is thick and soft, lacy and warm, feminine but man friendly. Put in simple terms – I love it ! I’m hope you will too.

I have so many plans for this stitch. My first project will be for a washcloth. I love to give washcloths with homemade soaps. The written pattern is available on Patreon and at my store :

Avoid Knitting Ladders on Your Loom Knit Hat

A few of my followers have asked me to show them how to avoid knitting ladders. Ladders happen when you have stitches that are more loose than the rest of the fabric. They cause an ugly seam down your hat. After finding these on a hat you’ve been working on for several hours is very disappointing.

How to Knit a Swatch on a Loom

First let’s define the word swatch. According to google, it’s a small sample of fabric intended to demonstrate a larger piece. In short terms it’s a test run.

Let me give you a few more good reasons why you should knit a swatch and how to make one. ( Read More )…
