I will add a YUGE **THANK YOU** for this! I did your cast on and it was in a word: PERFECTON! I am using a "S" loom from Temu and I am not a novice but I prefer easier patterns so I can "listen" to a movie and knit and not have to really be zoned in on my project. My blanket is cast on and I am starting and I gotta say "it's addictive" and PERFECT for me. Have I said thank you?? God bless!
This was such a wonderful video🥹 your voice is soft and enjoyable to listen to, you explain WHY things work or don’t work, so much detail. Just great!!
This is the kind of video I was looking for. Great instructions. Great questions to cover and answer. I love the explanation of symmetry between stitches. ❤
Hi Deborah, wanted to thank you for this stitch. I wasn’t to thrilled with the stitch in this video, but it seemed easy enough to do so thought I would try it out. I’m so glad I did. Still working on the project with a worsted weight 4 yarn in soft white for my daughters wedding and am now a big fan of the stitch. No kidding as I’m done with each row, I’m in awe of how beautiful it is. My hubby and son are probably getting sick of me saying that I’m in love with this stitch 😆. I owe it all to you for introducing it to me. Thank you, thank you, my daughter loves it so far.
Oh my goodness I have been working all day trying to e-wrap and then purl the third row. I have taken it out so many times! I almost gave up and never do loom knitting again! Then your video popped up and it was like a light 💡. Yes!! I thought why not try another way. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! I think you may have saved my sanity.
I am so glad that I found this video. I am a 60 year knitter but I thought that I'd try this loom knitting. Of course the scarf that I was trying to make curled on both sides. Doing the purl stich with the loom looks mighty complicated and I really didn't want to learn it as a beginner; so finding your video was a God-send. Thank you so much. Very easy to follow tool
First time I've been on your channel. I have made socks on a loom and that's about all. I'm a needle knitter having problems with my hands. I love your cast on method and can't wait to try it. Thank you for taking the time to show novices like myself the loom knitting potentials.
Hi Deborah I bought two loom kits a few years ago but gave up on them because I hated the purl stitch but this one has rekindled my Interest . It’s easy , fast and lovely and flat. Thank you so much for this video
Thank you for this video. You make outstanding instructional videos! I am planning to make a shawl which alternates panels of garter stitch and a lace stitch. The owl eye looks like a great alternative for the lace stitch. 🥰
Thanks, Deborah! I'm a novice at loom knitting. I took it up because with needles I regularly dropped or added stitches inadvertently and forgot what I was doing. The loom makes it harder to do those things, so it's right up my alley! Even so, I still have to keep things fairly simple. This stitch is definitely going in my little bag of tricks for sure!💗
Hi! 😁 Thank you for sharing your new video. I will be trying out the Owl Eye stitch on my 24-peg round loom. I want to see how it looks (as a swatch). I tend to be a “tight” loom knitter. I will take your advice as per your instruction with keeping the yarn a little loose. Have a wonderful weekend. 😃
Thanks for explaining how to do the Owl Eye Stitch Deborah, and that’s a very interesting looking stitch you created, and I will definitely give it a try, because I mostly do garter stitch on my blanket’s, but I will give your stitch a try😉
Thank you so very much for sharing your talents. I now have a new stitch to try. I just want to keep learning new things so I stay interested in my hobby. I appreciate all of your hard work! 👏😊👍
thank you for posting this. i want to try it. but too much exposition. but that's my opinion. i love that you created this stitch for us and made a video to show us how to do it. so awesome. and i learned about the chain cast on too. i think i like that better. you are a genius. thanks so much.
You are welcome. You can watch my last one for this stitch it was much shorter. This one was created with more explanation for those who asked me for it.
What a fun stitch. Thinking of using it in a few projects instead of regular knit/purl. I have a question: do you have any tutorials on how to make horizontal gaps (bind off several stitches in the middle and then cast them on again) using the owl eye stitch? Having some difficulty figuring it out since it uses two pegs each time. Want to use it for some form of handle on a bag. I know I can use a basic bind off and then the chain cast on on the way back, but was thinking of keeping the same pattern…
I've made a couple of swatches and the owls eye has won over garter! I'm using these for Chelsea dolls so a swatch is a project for me. I used size 3 yarrn on a 1/4 inch loom. Thank you ! Now I have to figure out how to use other stitches with it? I want to knit beads into the project.
I like using the Owl Eye Stitch for borders on blankets, scarves, shawls, etc, not so much for its non-curling effect (which I agree, it doesn’t), but I ❤️❤️❤️ the braided look it gives the edges! And I’ve had such good luck with my 4-sided edges looking even, ie 3 side stitches to 3 rows. They look even, not so with other border stitches.
Your mic is causing feed back...but thank you for remaking this stitch. I’ve been looking for the old video and it was so blurry to my eyes. It is nice to see it clearly!
@@DeborahShaw my temporary fix was to turn the volume down almost to off, and put on captions. Oddly TH-cam thinks you’re saying owl “I” instead of Owl Eye...gotta love TH-cam not speaking English
@@ErinEpps I have a lot of owl eye projects planned. So i will keep releasing my stiches that have been in bags waiting to be released and have projects too that i have alway been wanting to make too. I have the time now.
This has been needed for a looooong time. I bought your round pattern(memory is not working right now lol) but I couldn’t use your pattern bc I didn’t understand the stitch. Thank you :)
If I remember correctly after watching the video you stated that this stitch makes a tighter pattern than an E wrap and somebody sent me a link to your video that is a combination of owl eye and E wrap and I wondered which one will make a tighter pattern? I am going to use this to make small blankets for our vet for animals to have after their surgery and figured a tighter pattern would be better to not catch in their nails etc. Thank you, I love your videos❣️
I was wondering if you can do the owl eye stich in the round whether you have an even or odd peg loom?? You are very good at what you do!!!! Thank you for sharing your talent with everyone!!
Thank you for explaining why and how the stitches work the way they do! Would you recommend owl eye for a baby blanket? Thank you for teaching others! ❤️ I love owl eye stitch!
if you mean this one, owl eye then yes I have made many...if its one of my other stitches with owl in the name you will have to tell me the correct name, as there is no owl stitch.
That really didn’t help me. Owl eye is done over 2 pegs. Every other stitch I’ve had to increase and decrease was done on just one peg. So do I make the changes in groups of 2?
look at one of my purses or bags i did in owl eye stitch or another stitch where i did increases and decreases i have quite a few. for instance on a triangle flap or on a strap that has increases and decreases.
use a 3/4 inch loom then, or practice getting the right tension...the picture you are looking at is number 4 yarn on a 5/8 inch loom. the right yarn for the right gauge will solve your problem.
Im a beginner and would like to know if I can use an infinity loom with this stitch and how do you finish the blanket, how do I bind off the project. Thank you.
look at my fun fin shawl i used increases and decreases with owl eye...i also did short rows on a number of projects with owl eye....all on my channel.
Hi Mrs. Shaw, thank you for your clear explanation! I loved the stitch and look forward to use it!!! Is there anything special about changing colors with this stitch? Again, thank you!!
@@DeborahShaw thank you very much!! I’ll try a sample for an idea of a summer baby throw/blanket (I’m not sure of the name difference in English of those!) for my nice (I’m from Uruguay so January is summer for us) and if everything goes well and you want me to tag you anywhere it would be an honor!!! Thank you very much!!!
Really cool. I’d been wondering how to do the crochet cast on, and you explained it so easily. The owl eye stitch long with the purl is going to be my next project. I started a scarf last year, but instead of the knit e , purl . . . I accidentally started the garter stitch. It wasn’t the same, and now I cannot remember how I was working the project. Is there any way to tell? I tore out the 25 rows of garter because it took me that long to figure out I was doing the wrong stitch. I suspect I may have used a u stitch then purl. I’m going to do like 10 more rows but I may end up pulling those out as well. Sigh. I think I need some sleep. Loom knitting is addicting.
Thank you! I think I am finally getting the Owl Eye Stitch. It is so easy. I don’t know why I was making it difficult. What did you use as your cast off?
I like this so verry much, but the yarn, for which needles was that? I guess mine is to thin, so I get much holes….. can you help me on your way? PS I’m from another country, so we use cm etc. Not inches. So I don’t know how to have a good match yarn-loom.
not like with garter. There is a slight pattern that i love the look of. You may be able to see it on some of my owl eye project pictures where i switched colour.
I'm not taking the stitching off, I'm doubling the layer to make a brim. I'm taking the first row and folding it up an putting it back on the loom. I will watch one of your hat videos
oh okay well its done the same as you would have started after you did any hat after the brim. The stich doesn't matter. I have doubled the brim using an owl eye brim but never did a video of it.
I'm Assuming that if I want a brim on my hat I simply put the chain stitch back on and loop the stitch one over the other then proceed with the owl stitch. Please let me know if I'm wrong.
now that i understand you are making a folded brim, yes you have it right. The stitch is called owl eye. There is no owl stitch but i have a number of stitches with owl in the name.
This was the absolute best tutorial I’ve seen on TH-cam I am finally able to use my loom after 3 years of purchase. Thank you so much
A brilliant stitch. Love it! 0:31
I’ve been only doing e wrap stitch for like 8 years until today lol thank you! 🎉

just go ahead and change in any way...the colour changes with owl eye look really good and i love the look.
You are such a great teacher... I've learned so much.

Thank you. I appreciate this so much because sometimes working purl gets my arthritis going. This is going to be fun. Thanks!
Thank you so much for this video. I was recommended the owl eye stitch and seeing this has made me want to try it! You make it look pretty simple.

Owl eye is my favorite stitch - I was actually finishing an owl eye scarf while I watched the video! :)

its good on any loom with the yarn that fits the loom
I like very much this stitch, thank you for sharing🤗❤️
Thank you so much. Love this stitch...you are the best!👍
This has been needed for a looooong time. I bought your round pattern(memory is not working right now lol) but I couldn’t use your pattern bc I didn’t understand the stitch. Thank you :)

owl eye is a tighter pattern than ewrap owl stitch or my other combination of those two stiches called easy textured beginner stitch.
Thank you… I noticed a new stitch today Berries and Knots but I am assuming that straight Owl Eye is going to be the tightest… Thank you again
Thank you so much….the most Beautifull for everything.
I was wondering if you can do the owl eye stich in the round whether you have an even or odd peg loom?? You are very good at what you do!!!! Thank you for sharing your talent with everyone!!
you can have even or round it makes no difference at all.

@@DeborahShaw I meant Owl eye stitch. Lol 😂
Is there a video on how to decrease and increase using OWL EYE stitch. I would like to make a triangle shawl.
Thanks in advance.
The same way you do with any stitch. After you knit off there is one stich on a peg so its no different.
That really didn’t help me. Owl eye is done over 2 pegs. Every other stitch I’ve had to increase and decrease was done on just one peg. So do I make the changes in groups of 2?

Thank you so much! I watched your suggested videos and now I get it. I’ve already started the shawl.
Can you use this stitch to do blanket borders and then continue in e wrap?
No you can't you need purl to balance ewrap
Merry xmas
Love it can you make a baby blanket out of it using #3 yarn
yes
I have a 5/8 loom with #5 wool/acrylic yarn. No matter how loose I wrap, it tightens up.
use a 3/4 inch loom then, or practice getting the right tension...the picture you are looking at is number 4 yarn on a 5/8 inch loom. the right yarn for the right gauge will solve your problem.
Im a beginner and would like to know if I can use an infinity loom with this stitch and how do you finish the blanket, how do I bind off the project. Thank you.
yes you can and the bind off is linked at the bottom of this video. Its in the description... scroll down.

yes
Nice new video!! 👌💞

use either a smaller gauge loom or a wider yarn.
I have a serenity loom, I’m using Caron Anniversary Cakes 35.3 oz, 6 super bulky, I don’t want it to curl
it wont
Thank you for the video! Would this stitch be great for dish cloths?
Yes, definitely
I’m having a hard time with my scarf curling. Any suggestions?
your ends may be too tight or maybe you are just folding it so it curls and it will straighten out.
Wow!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
If I am switching colors when using owl eye stitch, do I need a row of u stitch to get a clean transition between colors?
no....one of the reasons i love owl eye is the nice way it transitions.
@@DeborahShaw Thank you for replying!
Can a printed copy of the directions be purchased?
i do have some patterns in my Ravelry store for purchase.
When making a blanket using the owl eye stitch (which I love!) will there be a dash when I change yarn color?
not like with garter. There is a slight pattern that i love the look of. You may be able to see it on some of my owl eye project pictures where i switched colour.
No carpal tunnel symptoms yet, but some skinned knuckles. Any solution? Thanks.
different hook maybe
A stupid question but in the in the stich r the sides straight cuz mine r slanted I'm trying to make a blanket but not the 10 stich
every project i have made in the stitch as a flat panel has never slanted if yours is you are doing something wrong.
I'm not taking the stitching off, I'm doubling the layer to make a brim. I'm taking the first row and folding it up an putting it back on the loom. I will watch one of your hat videos
oh okay well its done the same as you would have started after you did any hat after the brim. The stich doesn't matter. I have doubled the brim using an owl eye brim but never did a video of it.
Can I do. this with Loopity loop
yep you can do it with any yarn
Is the owl eye ok got just blanket xx
Yes
Do you recommend using this stitch on a sock loom, like the kb or prym?
i have with no problem
Your videos are so awesome! Thank you for providing these tutorials. I’m going to try this stitch today!
thanks!
Thank you for the video. Would this stitch be great for making dish cloths?
yes
can a person use the infinity/serenity loom with the owl eye stitch
yes
Thank you.
Can you do owls eye stitch with a thicker yarn for a blanket
of course. i have many blankets on this channel with it.
Thanks
*Thank you!*
I’m new to knitting, so how do you bind off?
scroll down on the description and click the link i gave to the bind off
Thank you!!!
Hi have nice day
Could you do this in owl eye in one panel or could you tell me I can make a blanket
you can do a blanket and if you do one panel i have a video for attaching on the loom.
th-cam.com/video/FBQmazJdCkI/w-d-xo.html
Any tips for lefties?
Some do it opposite and some do it the same directions i do. either way is fine.
Can this stitch be use in a 10 stitch blanket? How does it work at the corners?
watch my 10 stitch blanket video in owl eye. its on my channel.
Can you use the whole loom
yes
I'm Assuming that if I want a brim on my hat I simply put the chain stitch back on and loop the stitch one over the other then proceed with the owl stitch. Please let me know if I'm wrong.
now that i understand you are making a folded brim, yes you have it right. The stitch is called owl eye. There is no owl stitch but i have a number of stitches with owl in the name.
Its been years but is this different then the faux crochet stitch? I did that for a scarf and remember wrapping multi pegs too
yes it is
