Smooth, cooling yarn and just one, small hexagon loom is all you need to make Mardy, the alligator, who is the star of our ad in Little Looms Summer 2025.
Mardy makes an exquisite headrest for your summer travels.
Mardy’s friend, Grady, is fast to weave and will serve as a cuddle companion for all ages.
Whether you weave before or while you travel, either alligator will be enjoyable to make and fun to use (and maybe to give).
We used Universal Yarn’s Bamboo Pop, perfectly smooth for weaving, and we love the cooling effect of this bamboo and cotton blend.
You just need two balls of yarn (one for the top color, and one for the underside) to make Mardy and Grady … or two Mardys … or a few Gradys.
Mardy is woven on our PennyTURLTE™, F fine sett hexagon pin loom, and Grady on the TinyTURLTE™, F-fine sett. But because for this pattern we used the “one loom only” policy, you can weave the pattern on any hexagon loom, in any size.

We hope that you will enjoy making and using the alligators and – whether you travel or not – have a happy summer!
They are too cute!
Thank you, Jan!
I might have to switch over from crocheting to make these cute little guys!
