Loomigurumi anyone?

If you have any patterns that work well for loomigurumi, feel free to share them!! I believe you can use basically any crochet pattern, but some are bound to work better than others

I hope you do. I’m just SO looking forward to seeing what everyone makes with Ribblr yarns.

AND also to getting some and seeing how it goes for me. I have to wait till Oct 30th to place my first order as I have money coming in then…And Beng in Canada in May take a bit longer to show up…

Wait what!! But rubber bands are so small! How do you do it! Do you cut and connect various rubber bands together? Or are there special rubber bands for this?

I love both of those. They’re so adorable, they have personality :slightly_smiling_face:

I had zero idea, before this post that you could do anything like this with elastics! I’m still blown away by the whole thing.

It’s really hard to explain with words, so I would definitely recommend just watching a quick YouTube video on it, but you do not cut and connect the bands! It’s sorta like tying them continuously together…? As for special rubber bands, as long as they’re the small ones (typically used for bracelets), they would work! Although there are certainly some that last longer than others

WAIT this is such a cool idea! i have so many of the rubber bands i need to use up… what size hook do you use for this?

I believe I used a 3mm hook, but they also make hooks meant for the rainbow loom rubber bands, which look like this (ignore the blue thing)

You might have more luck using the actual hook meant for rubber bands, but like I said I think I used a 3mm crochet hook!
