The Free Pattern Loop-It Puffy Seed Stitch Cowl uses a new yarn that is puffy, soft, and has the loops built into the yarn. No wonder the name is Loop-it™ as that is the perfect name for this fun finger knitting yarn.
UPDATE: It’s no longer as easy to find Loop It Yarn. However, you can use Bernat Alize Blanket – EZ yarn in exactly the same way. Feel free to substitute this yarn in any of the Loop It Free Patterns you want to use.

Loop-It Puffy Seed Stitch Cowl Pattern
To create base row, start with a length of 9 loops.
Row 1 (Right side): Step-by-Step
Working from left to right,
with the working yarn in back,
*pull next available loop of working yarn through the next project loop as if to knit [see tutorial video for help],
move the working yarn to the front,
pull next available loop of working yarn through the next project loop as if to purl [see tutorial video for help]
move the working yarn to the back,
repeat from * to the last stitch
This means at the end of the row you will have a knit stitch, purl stitch, knit stitch, purl stitch, knit stitch, purl stitch, knit stitch, purl stitch, knit stitch – 1 seed stitch row formed.
Do NOT TURN!

Repeat these two rows until no more full rows can be complete leaving at least one loop to weave in later.
Pull final loops of project through the first loops of the entire project [see fblive tutorial video for help]
Bind off the stitches.
Use your fingers to weave the ends in. I even suggest tying a knot in the fabric!
