@@celinaduguay6484 Thank you, I would appreciate it, I am new to loom knitting I thank this stitch or the Ewrap stutch would be easier for me to do. My goal is to knit a blanket using simple stitches.
@@Renawhite181 Maybe I’ll make a video about that in future, maybe not for a blanket because it would turn out small on the loom I have, but maybe I’ll make a video on making a scarf using the figure 8 stitch.
Question:after the main part (row 8), what do you do? Like do you just e-wrap the rest or the same which is e-wrap 1,3,5,7 and then 2,4,6,8 purl peg and do the main thing again every row 8 for the rest of the blanket or what happens
Have you watched the other 2 videos I made on loom knitting a blanket? Maybe I explained things differently in those 2 videos. Check them out, and let me know if you're still confused and I'll try my bed to explain the process.
@@EmmelOmelette if you use e-wrap for the whole blanket, it will curl on the sides. The border makes it not curl, unless you find a pattern that doesn’t make a blanket curl without having a border around the blanket.
Thank you for the video♥ I'm getting an infinity loom soon, but I'm worried about the pegs being too far apart for my thickness of yarn. Should I get thicker yarn so there aren't any holes between the stiches? or will I be okay with the right kind of stich?
I’ve made blankets on the infinity loom with yarn weight 4, 5, and 6. If you use weight 4 yarn, you should use 2 strands of yarn to make it thicker. For weight 5 yarn, if it’s not bulky yarn, you should use 2 strands. Weight 6 yarn is already very bulky so you only have to use one strand. You can test out different stitches to see which you prefer with the yarn you chose.
After the first initial rows of knit and purl border, when you go to work on the blanket length, are you suppose to start each row with first four pegs of knit purl for every single row or is that just for the first and last row only? Thank you :)
@@wally-darling1067. I used all of the pegs and it made a blanket that can fit a queen size bed (my mattress sits on the floor). You can knit a few rows, the remove it off the loom to see if it will fit a twin size bed.
You could use something that guides the yarn like a straw or the tube of a pen with the ink removed. Some knitting looms come with a yarn feeder that looks like a straw.
@@StephanieStMarie-wm9mo you have to wrap the pegs so that they’re loose enough to use the knitting loom pick tool. Or as you wrap the pegs with yarn, you can loosen the pegs yarn with the knitting loom pick tool to see if the yarn isn’t tight.
after i do the first 8 rows of Knit and Purl do i continue doing that till im at the end of my banket then do the first and last 4 knit, purl, knit, purl then cast off?
@@pattyfogg7871 The 8 rows of knit and purl are for making a border for the blanket so it doesn’t curl. However, if you like the pattern of the knit and purl, you could make a whole blanket like that.
it is a nice video, but I wish you were telling us what you are doing while your are doing, because as you were ending the 'knit part' going into the purl part it is A:: confusing to me what you were doing.

Thank you for showing the stitches! Most helpful video I've seen in a long time.
Super clear and made it so easy for me to understand. Thanks for doing a great job! ❤
exactly what i was looking for for days now lol thank you for this.
You're welcome
Love this video very clear instructions and made my own afghan blanket as a result so very happy 😊
You’re welcome 😊
Thank you so much for taking you time I finally got it thank you
Why is there no picture of the finished blanket?
It was a Christmas gift. The only photo I have is the one on the thumbnail.
@@celinaduguay6484 ok thanks for the reply.
I did the same bind off and it came out F*CKED
Hi Celina, can you use the owl eye stitch on the infinity loom to make a blanket? and how do you cast on the stitches and bind them off?
I haven't learned how to do the owl eye stitch yet, but when I do, I'll make a video on it.

Can you e wrap the entire thing or will it not turn out right if there’s no purl stitch?
The blanket will curl if you do not make a border.
I want to know how do you mark it for a figure
What do you mean?

What is the tool you were using to hold your yarn
it’s just like a plastic straw to help the process go along faster, most infinity looms come with them in the package !
After the first initial rows of knit and purl border, when you go to work on the blanket length, are you suppose to start each row with first four pegs of knit purl for every single row or is that just for the first and last row only? Thank you :)
It's for every row.

I never clip the yarn so close. I make the usual knot then weave a tail of about 3 inches back into the project. Yhisway it eont come undone.
I had the plastic needle that came with my round knitting look set I bought from Walmart but at my old house or current house.
Hello, thanks for the video. How many yards total for this prodject? Thanks.
Roughly 1600yrds maybe if you want a long blanket and you use all of the pegs.
@@celinaduguay6484 thanks
why size blanket does your tutorial make
If I remember correctly, the blanket I made in the video was able to fit a queen size bed.
it is a nice video, but I wish you were telling us what you are doing while your are doing, because as you were ending the 'knit part' going into the purl part it is A:: confusing to me what you were doing.
Honesty, this was the first video that ive watched where i can now go, and successfully use my loom. Thank you!!
So you just alternate between pearl and e-wrap until it’s the correct length you want?
You could also do that and make a garter stitch blanket.
@@celinaduguay6484 what did you do for the main portion of the blanket in this video? Sorry I’m just completely new at this 😂
@@ravenbell5897 The main portion of the blanket is e-wrap. The border of the blanket consists of e-wrap and purl.

How did you market for fear
I’m waiting for my infinity loom to arrive to make my first afghan. What weight yarn did you use as it seems to be an XLG gauge loom. Thanks!
I bought my knitting loom at Michael's, it's the only craft store in my city that sells knitting stuff. The yarn I used was Bernat Chunky, weight 6, 583 yds (I bought 2 skeins).

First off what does the whole loom look like and why no pic of finished blanket but pretty yarn
@@amberwindham4377 The loom looks like a green figure eight. The blanket was a gift so only I was only able to take a cover photo. I gifted the blanket maybe the same day I finished it, before I had edited the video.
I could use this pattern for a large rectangle loom too I think …
Does your knitting loom have at least 150-200 pegs on it?

Great tutorial thanks!
Thanks for watching the tutorial :)
Why is the knit purl knit purl part necessary??
Because the blanket will curl without a border.
@@celinaduguay6484 so you have to do it every 8 rows? Or just once or twice
@@arsyniosic When you start and end blanket and on the sides. Some people crochet a border around their blanket instead of kniting the border on the blanket on the knitting loom, however I dont know how to crochet (or knit with needles).
Would have been nice to see the finished product…maybe next time.
How do you end the blanket without it coming undone?
Leave a tail of about 3 inches, then with a needle run the yarn back into your project. It won't unravel. I never do it the wsy the video showed us.
Eh, bien, il faut de la patience 😅
I wish i saw your video first because i left my pegs attached and had to start over 😢
No sound!
It was easier for me to just write subtitles.
Sharon rademakers leuk
I'm a new on the infinity loop and I don't get it that's without sounded dumb
do NOT cut your tail. use a yarn needle and weave it in securely, then cut excess.
I've not learned how to do that yet. Not long ago I found my yarn needle after it disappeared a few years ago.
This is a shitty example
This THE WORST tutorial on loom knitting that I have ever seen!!!
