Tutorial: Open Braid Stitch Using A Long Knitting Loom!

Hello Loomers!

If you are among the lucky ones who are still enjoying the Summer holidays, have you remembered to fit your knitting looms and yarn in your suitcase?

If yes, I have something really nice for you. The Open Braid stitch. This stitch looks a bit difficult but after the third or fourth row you will see for yourself that it's pretty easy to do.

I have loom knitted an envelope bag using the open braid stitch, but you can also loom knit a shrug, a cover pillow using a lining in a contrast colour, a baby blanket and whatever you like!

Here is my bag! 

And here you can see how the open braid stitch looks like.

Get your knitting looms, choose your favourite yarn and let's learn loom knitting the new stitch!
Below are the steps for one row.

First we start by casting on using the anchor yarn.

Then we follow the steps indicated above. We start knitting from peg A1 (blue yarn) to peg B4 and we wrap every other peg on both rows of pegs except for B10, B11 and B12 that they would be wrapped consecutive. We turn back with the red yarn wrapping the rest pegs and we also wrap consecutive B3, B2 and B1. We secure our yarn to the external peg and we hook over so every peg has one loop.

This is the Open Braid Stitch !

I look forward to seeing photos of your projects!

Bye, bye...

Photos & Samples Of Ribbing Stitch In A Long Knitting Loom!

Here I am again!

With photos of the ribbing stitch in a long knitting loom!

I Loom Knitted the sample with medium worsted acrylic yarn using 14 pegs of a knitting loom!

The width of the final loom knitted piece is 15cm.

We start loom knitting by casting on using an anchor yarn.

Then we loom knit the ribbing stitch.

It's very useful to secure the yarn at the external peg so that you can hook over easily.

Let's see how the ribbing stitch looks like as we keep knitting.

The final loom knitted piece will be like that.

You can loom knit anything you like with this stitch, such as bags, sweaters, blankets, pillow covers etc.

I am waiting for your creations and photos!

I'll be back with a new tutorial!

Have a nice day my friends!

Tutorial: Ribbing Stitch Using A Long Knitting Loom !

Hello Loom Knitters!

What do you knit with your looms these days?

I prepare the tutorials for the following stitches with photos, samples and anything that can help you!  

Today, I'll show you the Ribbing Stitch in a long rectangular knitting loom!

First we start by casting on using the anchor yarn.

Then we follow the steps indicated in the following photo. We start knitting from peg A1 (blue yarn) to peg B3 and we wrap every other peg on both rows of pegs except for B11 and B12 that they would be wrapped consecutive. We turn back with the red yarn wrapping the rest pegs and we also wrap consecutive B1 and B2. We secure our yarn to the external peg and we hook over so every peg has one loop.

This is Ribbing Stitch! 

It's easy and impressive at the same time!  Give it a try and let me know!

Photos & Samples Of Stockinette Stitch In A Long Knitting Loom !

Hello my Knit-Loom friends!

I hope you are doing well and have some free time for relaxation and loom knitting! 

Although for me these two words have the same meaning!

A couple of days ago I took some pictures of the stockinette stitch so that you can see how the stitch looks like. 

I used a medium worsted acrylic yarn, a yarn that is very cheap and affordable and you can find it anywhere and at any colour you wish. 

Here you can see how the stockinette stitch looks like. I used 14 pegs of the knitting loom and an acrylic yarn. I removed the stitches of the loom and then I have to bind off the anchor yarn.

Now I' m loom knitting the stockinette stitch using again 14 pegs but now I'm using two acrylic yarns. In that case, you loom knit holding the two yarns as one. 

Above you can see how the stockinette stitch looks like knitted using two yarns together.

Here is the bind off from the loom.

I wish my current post would be helpful for all of you, Loom Knitters!!!

I'm waiting your comments, questions or anything you want, here or at my facebook page: www.facebook.com/knittingloom.gr

See you again in a few days!

Tutorial: Cast On, Bind Off and Stockinette Stitch Using A Long Knitting Loom!

Hello my friends!

How are you?

I think that it's our time for creation, joy and relaxation! I think that it's the time to start Loom Knitting!

Let's start by learning how to cast on and bind off and of course a very easy and beautiful stitch, the stockinette stitch in a long rectangular knitting loom.

* I would advise you for the first time to use the smaller knitting loom, the one with 12 pegs, and a cheap acrylic yarn as it will be more easy to work with, especially at the beginning!

The first step for loom knitting is the Cast on. 

Below you can see the steps for casting on one by one.

Now we will learn the Stockinette stitch. It's a very easy stitch with which you can loom knit many many things as scarves, sweaters, bags, pillows and whatever you want!

Below you can see how this stitch looks like using a medium worsted acrylic yarn. When we will bind off, the edgings would not be curly as shown at the photo but straight.

 Finally, we have to bind off. Let's see how!

In a few days I will post photos of bind off too. 


Please don' t hesitate to ask me whatever you think it's complicated to you!
