Insert hook in first st and into the next loop on the strand. Pull the last loop on the hook a little longer.Insert hook in next loop on the strand and pull the loop through all loops on the hook. Insert hook in 2nd ch from hook and into the next loop on the strand. This will be in place of a usual ch 1 when turning a row. With a P hook and the variegated yarn, ch 17. Cut the bottom of the first loop to make the beginning yarn tail a little longer (this is shown at the point in the video).This video is intended to show the yarn and how I used the yarn with a hook. Since I DID use a hook and crocheted this lovey I have created a video to show how I did this. Note: This yarn is intended to be used with your fingers, interlocking the loops instead of a hook and crochet stitches. Notions: Yarn needle, 2 small safety eyes.Yarn: Red Heart Yarns Loop-It – One skein Tickled Pink and Purple, 1/2 skein White RHSS Shocking Pink (1 yard).

I hope you will enjoy my project plus give the finger looping part a try. Plus, since I crocheted my little lovey, I could make some of those loops stick out for the lamb head. It WORKED! …and I LOVE how it turned out.

LOOPY YARN PATTERNS TRIAL

After trial and a bit of unkind words (on the yarn’s part, not mine), I decided to pull out my crochet hook and see if I could go against the norm and crochet. Maybe it was because I was giving it a try at 2am or maybe it is because I am an impatient perfectionist, but the yarn and I were not best friends right off the bat. So I started with the lovey first and would figure out a way to make the loops stick out later for the head. BUT with the finger looping method the loops are hidden. Well, it is very fluffy! I knew right off that I wanted to make a lovey for my granddaughter, Lucy. Here are some wonderful ones:Īlright, now that I have listed lots of ways to use the yarn as it is intended, I am going to share my experience with it.

If you would like to try the finger looping method, there are lots of great projects online. You can find lots of how-to videos for this yarn by Marly Bird: CLICK HERE. I started by watching some videos on the different stitches you can do with this yarn. I had seen lots of fun projects popping up made with this finger looping technique and decided to finally give it a try. I have to admit, I was intimidated to give it a try. A couple of weeks ago Red Heart sent me two skeins of their Loop-It Yarn.
