Fun Knitting Looms

 Loom knitting eliminates the needles and makes knitting quick as a breeze. No machine needed, the looms are very portable and handy for just about anyplace you want to take them.


I am always disappointed by the sheer lack of patterns for loom knitting.  Loom knitting is just perfect for a quick project and/or for people that just can't get a handle on knitting with two needles.

PostHeaderIcon Staggered Square Knit Baby Blanket, Free Pattern

I have been bombarded with pregnant friends that are about to become new mommies. Oh boy, have I been busy. I love knitting for baby, and to knit baby blankets. But I sometimes get a bit bored with the same old patterns. So I always have my eyes open for an interesting pattern. Well this one that I found is really super. I think you will like it.

I got it from FaveCrafts, which is one of my favorite free pattern sites. Here is the pattern, I hope you enjoy it too.

The staggered squares create a lacy detail effect for this knit baby blanket. This is a sporty and light comforter for baby.
