Loom Knitting

Welcome!

Loom knitting has gained popularity over the past few years. It provides a way to create knitted fabric without the use of knitting needles. The dexterity needed for using a knitting loom is minimal, making them the perfect tool to learn to knit for both children and adults. Next time you are at your local craft store, pick up a set of knitting looms and a skein of yarn and take a couple of hours to create a hand knit heirloom.

The patterns in this website have been created over a period of time using some of the most popular knitting looms on the market, such as Provo Craft's Knifty Knitters and Decor Accents, Inc. The designs were created by Isela Phelps, author of Loom Knitting Primer: a Beginner's Guide to Loom Knitting.

Happy Looming!

Earflap Hat Calculator

I found this spreadsheet on creating earflap hats on the loom. It has a basic formula where you plug in numbers to create an earflap hat.

The file also has some of the most popular hat numbers in the loom knitting industry along with the earflap width, front gap and back gap.

Enjoy!

Fluffy Pleats

Another gorgeous yarn came rolling down my way. Tinseltown yarn. I couldn't pass it up! It kept taunting me with its fluffy, silvery pleats. I had to have it! I saw it a few weeks ago at my local yarn store and I just couldn't forget about it. Days will pass and the fluffy pleats kept coming back to my mind. Finally, this weekend I gave up and went and got a couple of skeins. I was not disappointed! I LOVE IT!

If you are a needle knitter, it is pretty simple to use and you can find a few videos online on how to use it. Loom knitters, don't despair. I've got you covered. I have written a pattern and prepared a video for you. Again, this is the way I use the yarn, there are other ways out there so feel free to experiment and find the one you like the most.

 

Another Oldie--Mock Cable Hat

I guess most of my patterns from 2005 are hidden in my pattern files somewhere in my old computers. My Boyo was little and he was always my little model and victim to my knitted items. Hope you enjoy this one. If I ever get a chance, I would love to redo this one with a lighter color yarn. I remember that I redid this one for my little girl in a lighter color but I can't find the picture.

Here is another hat that came about from the same design stages, my litle girl is modeling it...they were so little my two little ones. I can't find the pattern for the beige one but I think I can write it out from the picture.

In search of Squiddy

This is an old pattern...I am talking about 5 years old. Someone asked about it and I had completely forgotten that I had it. It is not in the Free patterns area nor in the blog. I am sticking it in here until I can update the Free Patterns area.

Enjoy!

ps: ignore the fact that I look like a whale.

Got Ruffles?

Quick and super easy. 1 skein of yarn and about 2-3 hours of knitting time. We are talking simple garter stitch. Definitely a project that you can watch tv and not get all confused...unless you grab the wrong strand.

Don't knit with needles? No worries, I've got you covered!

 

I put together a a video that demonstrates how to use this yarn on a loom.

Sock measurements

I recently got an email asking me if I had measurements for socks based on shoe size. I have the following tables based on shoe size. If the shoe size is between sizes, go between sizes also in the length. All the sizes below are for U.S. sizes, I am sorry, right now I don't have international shoe sizes converted.

Shoe size is on the left and the foot length is on the right. Hope this is helpful!
