It’s the loom knit, Button in a Square stitch pattern. Another one that I totally love for scarves and blankets. It looks great on the front and the reverse side.
I knit the swatch on a large gauge loom but it will also work great on small gauge. I used a single strand of worsted weight yarn. It was very easy, with just knits and purls. Best of all it is nicely textured.

Have you ever heard of an Axolotl? Until late this year I had no idea they existed. Once I saw one – I had to make one. They are sooOOoo funny looking that they’re super cute. Now there’s a step by step video totural and a pattern that includes a bonus adoption certificate to make gift giving even more fun.
I love how toys are a great gift for both kids and adults. Ask any teenager or young about an Axolotl and and you’ll see what I mean. Make one in their favorite color, and a tag and you’ll get loads of hug and kisses. I promise!
I was asked to design a toilet paper cover by several patrons. I am always ready to oblige friend and family. Plus I’ve wanted covers for my own home for years. Unfortunately designing usually takes me longer then I expect or plan for so I thank you for your patience and I hope you like the project.
As always, I’ve gone through my checklist. It was done in a few hours, on a 36-peg large gauge loom, single strand, with scrap yarn, with a step by step video tutorial. Needless to say, that I was super happy about all the features. So in short; quick, easy, pretty and inexpensive.
There are two versions in the pattern. One is more textured and has an opening on the top. The other is less textured and closed on the top. You can knit either one or a combination of the two.
I love it when you get a lot of texture out of just knits and purls and this one is one of those stitch patterns. Highly textured, super easy to knit up.
This was a fun stitch to translate but, here is the weird part that I could not fix; the “waves” you see only show up nicely on the reverse side of the fabric. In other words. what I am calling the reverse side is actually the side you are knitting. It is the front of the fabric, what you see in the picture below. The pattern I want you to have is on the backside of this 2×4 rib stitch that is actually a basketweave.
Keep that in mind as you knit. Cus, I don’t want you to blow a fuse. : )
Eyelet ovals stitch pattern is highly textured and lacy. Has diamonds with rows of garter stitches through belt loops. Makes a great boarder, a great shawl or even a table runner. I say it works perfect for any project you might want to make for your favorite person.
Reading the pattern might feel a bit overwhelming but when you have a video and a pattern it’s easy. Don’t worry if you’ve never done a yarn-over or a knit-two-together. I have uploaded the pattern video to my YouTube channel where you can watch me knit this beauty for free.
Here’s a basketweave stitch with a literal twist. It has a bow tie in the middle of the purl section of the weave which gives it its name Bow Tie Basketweave.
What is extra cool is that it looks great regardless of the gauge of your loom or the weight of your yarn. So you can use whatever you have on hand.
The loom knit Butterfly Stitch pattern is a lot easier to knit than you would think. The technique terms are not known by most knitters but all are actually doable. This is especially true with a step by step video tutorial to teach you how to do each one. Knit one under the loose stitches and slip with yarn in front, can be done if you can knit a purl stitch
Suela Wess sent me a message on Facebook with pictures of her dolls. They were a fun twist on my Cupcake and Ballerina doll patterns.I was immediately in love. Then I read her story and it took my breath away. I was speechless and in tears. I asked Suela if I could share pictures of her dolls on my social media page. She agreed to share the dolls. I never asked if I could share her story and so to respect her privacy I won’t get into details. It’s enough to say this women is amazing and a strong advocate for young victims of sexual abuse. She took a traumatic experience and used her loom to help her in the healing process and to help others.
The zig zag seed stitch is very easy to knit. What I like best is that it’s reversible and doesn’t curl. I want to continue my blanket stitch series this year and this is a great one to add to the collection. It also works well for washcloths and dishcloths.
I did record a video for the flat version of the pattern. Just scroll down to the bottom of the post. The flat version does not tranlate for knitting in the round for a project like a hat. The written pattern does include both the flat and round versions.
This one has great rows of eyelets right next to the popcorn stitches. I am a big fan of both and so I love this pattern. It makes a perfect scarf, shawl or earwarmer.
I designed this pattern in January of 2021 and never wrote a post. So for those of you that might have missed this one I wanted to make sure you had a chance to see it and use. As with all of my stitch patterns this includes a step by step video tutorial. Just scroll down to the end of the post.
I’m always happy when a project I made on a large gaugle loom with a single strand of worsted weight yarn looks amazing. Especially if the yarn I used was inexpensive and widely available.
The Eyelets in Cables scraf took me a long time to design and knit. I kept changing my mind, changing the name, changing the cables. At one point I even closed the eyelets. But that’s a story for another day. For now, let me recommend that you give this project a try. It definitely makes for a very classy gift for any member of the family or your friends.
As most of my projects, this one has a step by step, very detailed video. I will take you from the begining to the finishing touches.
One of my customers on Etsy asked me if I could design a marshmallow mug hat. I had seen them on Instagram but not really considered them. I can’t explain why. Both the mugs and the hats are super cute. But once Donna asked me, my head was turning at the speed of light with ideas.
I wanted to make a hat that would be fun and work for many different occasions and for many different people. I believe there’s nothing better than cupcakes. This particular little hat will work well with the Tiny Doll project, other mugs, other toys and even realy babies.
Like most of my patterns, this one includes a step by step video tutorial.Scroll to the bottom to watch the video.
There is also a written pattern. I want to thank all those that support my work by purchasing the pattern, share my videos and engage on Facebook and other social media. That helps me a lot.
I’ve been wanting to loom knit an little acorn doll but I kept putting it off because I didn’t want to include decreases in the pattern. Plus, I wanted to make it small enougn to be used as an ornament on a tree or a table. This year I finally got just what I wanted. Althought it’s a little passed Thanksgiving I bekieve acorns are cute any time of the year.
To make this one a bit more special, I included a little message of encouragement. Just like I did with the Worry Worm project, I made post cards and tags to go with the written pattern.
For a few months now I have been designing Loom Knitting tags for my patrons on Patreon. I post them on Mondays with a brief explaination for the details on the label. On Monday, October 18, 2021 I posted this tag and the explaination that I copied below. To get your free tags, specs and video scroll down to the bottom of the page.
It’s a hat that is also a cowl, you can knit on a long loom or a round loom. You wear it as a messy bun hat or an earwarmer. I think it’s perfect when can’t decide what to knit as a gift. You make one project and the recipient gets four gifts.
I was asked to design this project by one of my patrons for her daughter Tara. Before I was done testing the project Tara passed away. This was a bit difficult to absorb and I lack the words to express my thoughts about this experience. I am grateful that I can share it with Tara’s mom, her daughter and you.
Kit Includes: afghan loom, knit hook, instructions and 3 projects.
