Grab next working loop and place into first worked loop on the new row.Repeat this loop placement to end of row. Grab next loop from working strand and insert into next “cast on” loop.Insert loop into first “cast on” loop and pull it up (so you can easily work it in the following row).Starting on the working strand side (tail is to your left, waiting to be worked), grab the next loop after your “cast on” loops and this will be the start to our first row.We are then going to lay the strand of loops above our “cast on” amount.(Looking for patterns? Check below for a list of resources!) To “cast on”, we are going to count as many loops out as we would like our project to be, or as noted per the pattern you may be following.

We are going to focus on the basic stitches (stockinette as well as how to create purl stitches) and we will be working in flat rows. Using “loopy” yarn is kind of like knitting and creates very similar stitch-work. Lion Brand also collaborated with Crayola to create a special collection of Off The Hook yarn in perfectly pigmented primary and other Crayola-based colors (great for kids!) - I recommend checking it out! Yarn weights may vary just slightly as well, but are all super bulky or jumbo. All of the brands may differ slightly in terms of overall yardage or color options, but are generally all the same. There are many different brands of “loopy” yarn on the market right now, but for today’s post I’ll be using Lion Brand Off The Hook. This post was sponsored by JOANN Stores but all ideas and opinions are my own. All editorial content and projects are intellectual property of Jessica Carey, designer of The Hook Nook. Let this be a place for you to become little more familiar with this product that is not only a whole lot of fun, but also became quite addicting for myself! This yarn/project is even approachable enough for kids to try - check out the photos below of my own kiddos working with it! With summer here and needing to find ways to keep your littles busy, I definitely recommend letting them try this out for a craft/activity idea! To help as many people as possible feel a little more comfortable with this project, I want to write this post with photo tutorials and a link to the video by JOANN that helped me better understand.
