Loom Knit Crocodile Stitch Patterns!!!!

http://scarlettroyale.webs.com/
 These are a few patterns I have created using the crocodile or scalloped stitch on the looms.  By clicking on the picture it will take you to the link to get the pattern. The patterns are in PDF format and include written instructions, as well as video tutorial links for help making the patterns.
A lot of the patterns were done on CinDwood Looms which are great because they come in the 1/2" gauge great for making a nice tight knit.
This stitch adds wonderful texture and life to a pattern. Yes it is time consuming, and yes it does take a lot of yarn, but man is it worth the look and feel of the finished product!!!
The owl gloves pattern below is soon to come out, but check out the owl booties while you wait!!!

Loom Knit Owl Bag



 This owl bag is based off of my previous designs of the Realistic Owl Hat and Stuffed Owl patterns. The bag is completed in 1 piece with minimal sewing that is done on the face. I used the 60 peg 1/2" gauge CinDWood Loom, and Bernat Blanket Yarn in Moss, Baby Yellow, and Black. It is a large bag great for a school bag for a child. Or a carry all bag for your baby or toddler.
The pattern includes written instructions, as well as video tutorial for help in making this pattern. The links are always located below the image in the PDF file you recieve. There are pictures showing generally what an area of the bag should look like at a certain point. I would not suggest this pattern for a beginner or even intermediate loom knitters. This is an advanced pattern that used stitch holders, keeping up with 2 different stitch pattern while adding wrap and turn techniques at the same time, and also doing a half and half color change. There is a lot to keep up with in this pattern. Stitch markers will be used, and row counters.
The pattern may be complicated but it is well worth the effort to create such a cute pattern for a child or even yourself!!! I am providing alink for the buy now below to get the pattern. It is $4 for the pattern.

Loom Knitted Fall Leaves Poncho

 
This pattern became an inspiration from seeing some of Suzanne Sullivans leaf designs. I will include links when you click on the picture, if you needle knit if you love her patterns so you can purchase them. I became inspired and thought, all you need is the leaf to start. So this pattern is made up of 28 leaves and a turtle neck all sewn together to make a poncho. But this base pattern can make sooo much more than just a poncho. Please feel free after you purchase to play, make blankets, scarves, capes, and what every you can imagine with them. Have fun!!!
