Below is a video Episode 2 of Loomahat Chats with a list of gifts for mom. Many of the projects have video tutorials to help you loom knit cool stuff for your favorite mom. Keep in mind that you can do this anytime, no need to wait for Mother’s day.
This post includes links to the recommended posts with videos
A teddy bear has been missing from my list of projects for way too long. Also, I love mini toys so this one plays into my favorite things more than once.
The pattern knits up pretty quickly but I will warn you that this is not a beginner friendly pattern. However, I will take you step by step on the video tutorial below. If you’re willing to watch the video completely and then try it to knit the teddy bear, you might end up with a really cute mini toy. The downloadable written PDF will be available through the usual outlets and although it isn’t vital, note that your purchase does help me and this website.
Please note that I did not name it the Faggot Stitch nor was I trying to be rude. The term is from the late 13th century and was used to describe a bundle of twigs or sticks used for fuel. However we feel about the word, it is a super cool stitch so please take no offense and so with our emotions and politics in our pocket, let’s move forward with the pattern.
There are several versions, this happens to be my favorite because it looks the closest the Rickrack Rib Stitch but is much easier to do. Everyone knows I love EASY.
Easter eggs are a cute, fun and quick project to do with the kids. The knitting part is not really for the true beginner but decorating the eggs is for everyone. Best of all you won’t have a big mess. Also consider an Easter tree or wreath. This is another great way to use all that extra scrap yarn you have around the house.
The supply list and a step by step video tutorial is below.
YO K2tog is for short hand for yarn over, knit two together. You will find it on many lacy patterns including some of my own.
It may sound intimidating but it is actually very easy. Let me show you the technique using pictures, words and of course, a video tutorial.
Tiny Chicks on a small 24-peg round loom are super cute. They are a perfect gift for spring, Easter, baby showers or your favorite little cat. I am in love with the bunch of cuties in the feature picture.
This is labeled as a project for advanced beginners because of the cast-off but you do have the option to change that cast-off.
So this is a really short post because it’s all about the video.

A brimless hat on a large gauge knitting loom is possible. Paul asked if it we could make one that doesn’t roll. The answer is yes and below is the pattern video for the hat. Several of my Patreon patrons were making hats using the waffle stitch from the pom pom scarf pattern so I thought I would too.
Below is the step by step video tutorial for the Men’s Waffle Stitch Hat and Cowl pattern. It may look complex but it’s very easy. Just watch the video completely before starting the project.
What a great way to dress up any bottle from wine to lemonade to bubble bath or in my case some delicious homemade Kombucha. That was the point in designing this pattern, for gift giving.
Personally I am a sucker for homemade gifts. They happen to be my favorites. Maybe it’s because I love to make things by hand.
I love the seed stitch baby hat. It has great texture. The stitch is a type of rib stitch and so the hat has a lot of stretch. This works well when you making a gift and are not sure of the exact size.
The hat is brimless because I don’t like brims on newborns. Also, the picture shows a hat with a button, I don’t put buttons on a newborn hat. This is just for the pictures.
The written pattern is available in my Etsy store but the video goes through every step and you should be able to make this hat just by watching it. As always I recommend watching it completely before starting the project.
Tube socks are the best pattern for folks that really don’t like knitting a heel or a toe. But why stop there, let me tell you what else is great. You don’t have to knit a folded cuff, no specialty loom and no need to worry so much about the recipients shoe size. There are so many reasons why I just love this pattern. The fact that is looks so good makes it even better.
The combination of different knit stitches give the fabric a really cool, textured stitch. I believe this is going to be a favorite for lots of loom knitters, especially beginners.
I’m super excited about this project. I made five different dolls before I was happy with this one. I hope you all will fall in love with my little ballerinas. I’m sure that like me, you had one at home too.
The project is a bit complex and so I had to create two separate videos. Please return for part 2. The written pattern is for purchase because we have to keep the lights on at home and every little bit helps. I do make the video as comprehensive as possible for those that can not afford the pattern to be able to make this project that I love so much.
Part 1: The Basic Doll Pattern
Part 2: Ballerina Dress Up
My last post was for a Santa Hat. In the video I promised to give you guys the pattern for the knitted pom-pom. I have to keep my promises so below is the pattern. I have also included the ball and ornament.
Hope you guys like them.
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.
Kit Includes: afghan loom, knit hook, instructions and 3 projects.
