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

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.
