- Learn how to loom knit a colourful DIY patchwork blanket using the garter stitch. Or the Harry Styles sweater!
You’ll like the sense of gratification each time you complete a square!
STEPS
0:00 Intro
1:09 Cast on first square
3:24 Garter stitch
6:56 Bind off to finish square
9:42 Join squares
SUPPLIES
• 6-10 balls of yarn
• loom (round like 41 peg loom with gauge of 13/16th inch, or a long loom/rake)
• hook
• scissors,
• yarn needle/crochet hook
• measuring tape/ruler
INSTRUCTIONS TO MAKE SQUARES
1. Put slipknot on anchor peg. Start casting on at the right side of your loom. Do e-wrap knit stitches all the way to the left. I personally used 15 pegs.
2. After you knit the 15th peg, wrap that peg once more, then knit over.
3. Then on 14th peg, do a u-knit stitch and knit over. Do this all the way to the right.
4. Once you u-knit and knit over the 1st peg, your cast on is done. Remove slipknot now or very soon.
5. Now purl every peg all the way to the left.
6. Then do e-wrap knit stitches all the way to the right.
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 until you've made a square.
My squares with my yarn and my loom and my knitting ended up being 7.5 inches by 7.5 inches (9 cm by 9 cm).
I ended up doing 17 purl rows and 16 knit rows, but that's me!
8. Once you have a square, do the basic bind off. Be a bit loose so the edge doesn't tighten up your square too much.
INSTRUCTIONS TO JOIN SQUARES
1. Arrange your squares on a table or bed to spread out the colours nicely and to alternate between horizontal squares and vertical squares.
2. Sew squares together as strips.
3. Sew strips together to make your blanket.
4. Weave in all ends.

It makes me happy that this video is helping people make the Harry Styles sweater / cardigan.
Girl same I’m doing that as we speak
I know this video has been here awhile. I wanted to let you know that it is still helping people learn loom knitting. It is one of the best on youtube. Thank you for taking the time to do this.

Oh thank you so much!
I was reading thru the comments and saw where someone asked if you could add another patch to the first one. I did a blanket like this but just in two colors My answer is yes, do not cast off do a slip knot of another color and keep going. I did 5 patches then cast off and start another set of 5 patches.
Hi there!! Just found you & I subscribed! ❤
I do love the video. I wish I could have seen the end of sewing those squares together. That is what i need help with most. Thanks for sharing!!
I have been looking all over for a good blanket video and this is what I needed thank you so much!
Glad to help.
This is beautiful! I'm new at this and your instructions are spot on. I'm a beginner. You make this look so easy so I'm going to give it a try. THANK YOU!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for your video. Im soooo enjoying making the squares!!! Hope ure kindness and good vibes teaching us multiplies!!!
Thank you for the sweet words!
Oh my goodness!!!! I absolutly love this idea!! It looks amazing im definatly going to try it i just need to get the correct yarn. Thank-you so much for sharing this wonderful project xxx.
Thank you so much! I can't wait to get mine started! 😊❤

Thank you sharing this blanket🎈
Ms Yarn, I have been looking for a Loom teacher. Let me just say "you are awesome". Loved the tutorial it was clear and easy to follow. Thank you looking forward to many more of your tutorials💞 Take care🥰
I'm trying to make things easy to follow, so this feedback makes me happy. Thank you.
This is a great tutorial. Very easy to follow and I already have my first square done!
Excellent start!
Thank you for sharing your video this is exactly what I wanted to do when I was thinking of making a blanket with the whole bunch of squares...love your video thanks again for sharing 🌻🌼🌻🌼🌻🌼🌻🌼🌻🌼🌻🌼
Thanks for your support!
I can’t thank you for enough for this video cause I come back 3-4 times a day and go to the spot I need more instructions on. THANK YOU!!
Glad it's helpful, thanks.
This is great Catherine!
Thanks for watching!
Ms Yarn! You’re lovely to listen to and so helpful! Thanks for the this awesome tutorial!
Thank you very much.
I consider myself an advanced loom knitter, but I got there with A LOT of trial and error. If I had your tutorials in the beginning, I’m fairly certain I would have had a lot less errors and trials :) Your videos are wonderful!
I appreciate this kind comment. Thank you for watching.
I ready like how you do this!!! All other videos mainly have annoying background music but no...you just have your voice🥺 thank you
I'm glad you like my videos!
You explain this soooo well
Thanks!
Great instructions! Thank you😊
You're welcome
You did a super great job on your video🥰
Thank you!
Thank you I’m going to try it. You made it some much easer then I thought
Go for it!
This video looks so good and easy to follow; I am really hoping I can make my first blanket (aged 56) as I now have osteoarthritis in my hand and am worried that this will affect the work; but thank you for making such a great video
Appreciate your comment. Good luck!
Thanks for the video. I was looking for something different to do with scrap yarn.
Lovely
I love your blanket. It's beautiful!! I was wondering if you knew how to make a ten stitch blanket as I get confused with other video's and love your teaching style, I can follow you easily and haven't failed making anything you've demonstrated. Thank you Ms Yarn.🤗
Thank you Amanda!
Hello
first i want to say thank you so much. you are an amazing teacher. I am not crafty at all so i have been doing this square over and over and i still cant get it right. sure wish you were here to so me in person lolol thanks again tho. i will keep trying
Linda
Keep trying, I promise it will get easier with practice! Also, my squares weren't all perfect. There were some little mistakes, but that's part of making things from scratch. Keep going!
Thank you so much for this video. I'm italian and I couldn't find something similar in italian language... This is an opportunity for me to learn how to Knit a square and how to learn new english words about knitting world. I'm just trying to Knit a square 💪🤞 thanks!
Grazie! I'm glad the video was helpful for you. Practically all of my videos have complete closed captioning, so that might be useful as well.
lt so nice colorful try to make it
Could I slip each stitch at beginning and end of each row?? So it will have a nice braided edge? Thank you
YES, thank you for speaking the whole time and slllloooowwwwllllyyy describing how to. As a beginner loomer this is much appreciated! Loom on... #christinecorley
Glad to help.
Thanks I'm making a "cozy set" I just made slippers
Ooh I never thought of making slippers before. Nice.
Can this same thing be done on a straight loom as double knitting? The above is on a round loom. please make a video for that please. ty
I'm sure that you could make a double knit patchwork blanket and it would be cozy and plush. I'm not able to make a video though since I'm more interested in shorter projects at the moment.
how did you tie off the loose yarn when all of the squares were attached to each other?
I have got the long loom
Can you use the e wrap knit stitch and do the garter stitch knit and purl stitch same peg
Were you using #5 weight yarn? It looks wonderful, so glad to have this video, exactly what I needed as my husband is home with Covid....so far, I am negative and need to keep my mind focused on something else....and be enjoying myself and productive at the same time;)
I was using #6 yarn. Hope this helps.
Hi. Thank for the video - very useful! I was wondering what was the diameter of the loom you used?
Hi, it's 11.5 inches or 29 cm.
I'm planning on making one of these with my 6 year old girl. She wants to loom knit and I want to knit as well. I'm already seasoned crocheter
That's great to hear. Sounds like a nice family activity. Have fun!
@@hellomsyarn would this work with the E wrap method?! I think the knit stich would be a bit challenging for her as a newbie
Hi Anne, I cannot be sure of the results of this suggestion, but I'll put it out there. Your daughter could do simply e-wrap squares. Due to the nature of the stitch, they would curl. But what if you placed half of them with the purl (back) side up? Maybe that would balance things out. Just an idea.
@@hellomsyarn that sounds like a plan. Also I can perhaps add a crochet border to weight it down as well...I'll have to experiment
Hi, i can't find this information anywhere. Can you stitch two pieces of square on the loom? Actually I have flat panel Head Band and I would like to connect it seamless on the loom
Thank You! I found this to be quite helpful.
I’m a beginner but I only have a rectangle 36 peg loom. The box said I can make Afghan squares but I can’t find instructions. Can I do yours with my rectangle loom instead of circle? Thanks in advance.
Absolutely, you can use your rectangular loom for this. Good luck.
Because I’m right handed, I like to cast on from right to left and then back to the right. Then, as I progress to the left for the next row I knit and purl each peg at the same time, with the working yarn in my left hand. This enables me to maintain the garter stitch without holding the working yarn in my right hand as I purl. I wish I could remember where I learned this as it saves me time and my work progresses much faster. With that said, I guess I should knit 33 rows, as opposed to 16/17?
Yes, that would be 33 rows for you, as long as that turns out to be a square not a rectangle. Good luck.
I would really like to see a video of that!
Gonna try to make a cardigan
I'm glad!
Could we use different stitches for each square. Second could you make a long sweater with this pattern?
You can absolutely use different stitches for each square. Just try to make the squares all the same size. Some people are making sweaters like the Harry cardigan with the help of this Video.
Hi great video quick question- how many balls did you end up using and what was the dimensions of the finished blanket? Thanks
2 bonus bundle sized Wool Ease balls and 4 regular sized balls. Size was approximately 38 x 45 inches.
Excellent video, thank you! QUESTION: I'm going to make a Danish flag. The red sections will be 18 inches wide. Can those be made in one piece on a 22 inch (29 pegs) long loom? I'm not sure how pegs translate to inches, but I want to be precise in the measurements and proportions.
I think you'll come up short. In this video on my particular loom, I used 15 pegs to get 7.5 inches. If you use 29 pegs, you may get around 14 to 15 inches, by my calculations. The best thing is to do a small swatch and then measure.
@@hellomsyarn Thank you!
If you don't mind me asking how many rows did you do per square I really want to make a big blanket Mardi Gras blanket but in this style
So I’ve seen other videos doing garter stitch and they said to not do first and last leg with purl. And yours showed doing purl all the way. Is there a big difference between the two ways?
Excellent question. If you avoid purl stitches on the end pegs, you'll get a smooth edge, and the stitches along the edge will look like the letter V. Many people prefer this look, and find it to be more polished. These squares would be slightly narrower.
If you do purl stitches on the end pegs, you'll get a bumpy edge. I like this edge as much as I like the smooth edge, especially for blankets. In this pattern, the bumpy edge helped me sew the squares together. Also, these squares are slightly wider.
So to sum up, both edges are good in their own way.
Love this but mine are curling up at the end when I bind off . I think I might of knit to tightly . I did 17 purl and 16 knit but it came out like a rectangle . I heard you mention in the video you said make it like a square not a rectangle. Any suggestions please
For the bind off, you can try making your last three stitches quite tight, and that might help. Maybe another knitter out there might know a hack? And about getting rectangles, I recommend either increasing or decreasing your row count to get a square. Hope this helps.
I’m using #4 yarn on 1/2” loom, my bind off was tight and curling so I did stretchy bind off, wrapping peg one again at the end.
C an you make a patch work sweater. I would love to see it
Hah, I have considered this, but am daunted by all the sewing!
How long is the squares up and down way
I have a question, I have lots of leftover yarn but in different weights. Would I be able to use these?
If you have lighter yarn, you can double or triple them up and see how that goes. Try your best to make the squares all the same size, even if it means using fewer or more pegs than usual. Traditionally, the patchwork blankets of older generations were not perfectly harmonious, so I personally feel open-minded about giving it a stash-buster feel. So give your leftover yarn a try.
so when you’re loom knitting, do they have specific looms for different yarn sizes?
Generally, yes. If you use a large gauge loom - 3/4" between pegs - you'd use thick yarn, like #5 or #6. If you have finer yarn at home, you could try using two or three strands at once. BTW I did a loom review of these Loops&Threads Knit Quick looms. There are four looms in a pack, with different gauges. So the little loom with little space between pegs needs thin, light yarn.
I used double strands of a fine yarn on a large gauge loom and it turned out perfect!!!!
I have a question. So I just started making my first square the width is about 4 inches long ( I only did 10 pegs instead of 15. I double up on my yarn since I don't #6 bulky yarn.) So I wanted to ask you about how many square will it take me to be able to make this blanket?.
I haven't done the math, but here are some thoughts. I did 30 squares (5x6). Since your squares are much smaller, maybe make either 80 squares (8x10) or 99 squares (9x11) or 120 squares (10x12). It would depend on the final size you are looking for.
Hey Loom Knitters, if you have any suggestions or questions, feel free to comment.
Ms Yarn hello, how do you get rid of the extra strings? My first blanket has all these knots all over them cause I couldn’t figure out how to hide the remainder tails!
Hello, you can watch a really good GoodKnitKisses video called "5.0 How to Loom Knit | Bind Off - 4 way + weaving tails" to help you in detail step by step. Personally I'm not the best at weaving in tails since I do this step a bit randomly.
Knitting has helped alleviate my anxiety, but I'm struggling with needles , tension & crochet stitches.
I hope you keep trying loom knitting.
So I have a question. So I loom knit 10 rows and it measured 5 5/8 inches a crossed the bottom edge. And when I finished the square with the binded edge the length measured 6 1/8 inches. Did I mess up the square?.
That sounds like a very small difference, so I wouldn't overthink it, personally. I had a few lopsided squares myself. Maybe you were knitting a bit tighter at the beginning, and a bit looser at the end. No big deal though.
can you use a size 4 med. yarn? does bulky yarn only work?
You can use any size yarn as long as it's appropriate for your particular loom.
I don't know why but the binding on the 2 squares I've made so far are curving up towards where I finished the square at. What can I do to fix it?.
I'm not 100% sure how to fix this, but I would try to tighten the knot more on those two squares, and try to stretch your square into the shape you want. On your next squares, try binding off more tightly on the last three pegs. I hope this helps. Maybe someone else who reads your comment will respond as well.
I am a tight knitter and all my squares so far curving up aswell so maybe try loosen your knit . I will let you know how it goes when I do my next square.
How did yours turn out
What makes up a row. If the instructions require 20 rows does that mean to do 20 knit and 20 purls to knit
or would I consider each to be a row.
20 rows would be 10 rows of knit and 10 rows of purl.
Is there a way when you are working the square, that after you have worked up to the length for your square, you can also work another square connecting to it, with a different color?
I am sure it is technically possible. It would be what we call modular knitting. But I have not tried it myself, at least not on this project.
Hi, is there any other stitich that we can use instead of garter stitch please? Thanks
Hello, yes, for sure, I'm actually working on a seed stitch patchwork blanket right now. Also, in theory you might be able to do squares only in the knit stitch, and then when you sew them together, you could flip half of them over, so you have a knit stitch square next to a purl stitch square. Maybe try with four squares first to see how that turns out. Good luck.
So, I made this blanket and it looked awesome but I made a few mistakes so it ended up falling apart unfortunately. The biggest mistake I made was not making my tails long enough. The second was cutting the tails off once I knotted them rather than sewing them in. One thing I did differently was I crocheted the strips with a single stitch which looked pretty cool and then I crocheted the entire rim on the outside. It was so cute when I had it done but those two major errors I did messed up the whole thing darnit!
Thanks for sharing. Joining by crochet sounds great - I had considered that, but I'm not good at it, not yet.
Can I use red heart size 4? I have a ton laying around.
You'll have to test it out for yourself. A double strand might be ok.
I am planning on making this pattern for a baby blanket with yarn appropriate for a baby. It is #4 weight and thinner than I am used to using. Should I use two strands of yarn or will one be enough?
#4 might be a bit holey. Probably two strands would be better. But only you would be able to tell - by making a swatch.
I'm not sure how but my first "square" turned more into a pocket shape which for me I can still work with but I don't know really where I went wrong?
You could try to block your square to make it more square-like, and maybe your bind off is a bit too tight.
Could you do the same process, but with different patterns on each square?
You can certainly make a patchwork blanket with different types of squares. For example, you could make squares of the same size, but use different stitches like the seed stitch, rib stitch, cables, etc
Just keep in mind that different stitch patterns can make different size squares.
I'm pretty new to looming. I'm so confused about what the difference is between garter and stockinette stitch??? Help please!
Hi, When you sat 6-10 balls of yarn, 6chunky- but what size of balls? 100g ? 300g? thanks!!
Hi I personally used 2 bonus bundles (283 g) and 4 regular (170 g). Good luck.
Ms Yarn thank you!
How many squares will I get from 10 balls of yarn? The#6 ball I found is 106 yards. Is that what you are using.
Yes, just checked. My Wool-Ease balls were 106 yards. Each ball gave me 3 squares with some leftover yarn. Hope this helps.
Do the 10 balls cover the whole project?
Yes, 10 balls should cover it, as long as the yardage/length is good.
What did you do with the tail from the beginning that was slipped knotted on
Hi, sometimes I used the tail to join another square, and so I would tie yarn to it as needed when I needed more length. And when it wasn't needed for joining/sewing, I would weave it in the square to hide it.
Thank you. I can see how you connected them for a row but how did u connect the rows together so it’s all closed
I formed my strips of squares. Then, in spots where I had no tails to sew with, I used entirely new yarn to sew the strips together.
Thank you so much for all your help this is my time making a blanket. It’s for my grandson’s birthday gift.💙
I am looking to make 4" x 4" squares, I am using #4 worsted yarn. Any how many rows will I need to make??
I have not tried this in worsted weight, so you'd have to try this out for yourself. Your own swatches will tell you.
Hi! Im finding I have loose ends... how do we secure them in?
After you sew all the squares together, weave in tails by following along the garter stitch. You can also search "weave in ends" on TH-cam for videos that might explain this better.
You’re the best!! Thanks :)
can you use number four yarn double it
I haven't tried, but you could do a small swatch and make sure it's not too airy/holey.
Do we weave in our cast on tails? Or just cut them off
You would weave them in at the end.
@@hellomsyarn thank you! Also I don’t quite understand stand the whole joining together is there some way for you to explain it a bit better?
How many squares do you have to to make a big king size blanket on a 36 loom Round loom
Hi, king size blankets are often 108 inches by 108 inches. You'd need to make a square, measure it, and do the math.
I've found another way of cast off, it's an easy way for me it's a kind of purl stitch cast off
That's great to hear. I'm glad you found a variation that works for you.
Necesito la explicación en español
How many 19×19 cm squares did you make also can I use a number 5 yarn that is 100% acrylic yarn
I made 30 squares. I've heard that #5 yarn will be looser. I suggest you do a square and see for yourself since I have not personally tried this with #5.
@@hellomsyarn
How many total rows did you do
@@rebekahricketts7587 33
Did you use wool, cotton, or acrylic yarn
Hi, I used Lion Brand Wool-Ease and it's a blend of 20% wool and 80% acrylic. Super bulky #6.
How many rows. I did 15 pegs but looks small
how many pegs did your loom have?
Hi, my loom has 41 pegs, and it's a Knit Quick loom from Loops&Threads.
but how do I tie it off
You can tie a knot and weave in the ends
Hi Mam it looks awesome but one question or a request Mam can you please show one square with a long loom please Please reply
I find it too awkward to knit a square on a long loom, unfortunately.
How much rows did u do for your Square
I think I did 33 rows.
How many roll did you do to make your squares
I mostly did 33 rows I think. 17 purl and 16 knit. Others may do more or less, as long as they're making squares, not rectangles.
How many square i need to make full size or king size blanket?
Iv done ten rows and it's not a square, what am I doing wrong ?
Since everyone knits differently, you should knit a few squares and determine the number of rows you need, by trial and error.
Do you know how many rows you ended up doing for a completed square?
How many rows total to make square
I mostly did 33 rows (17 purl and 16 knit) but this depends on gauge. Another knitter might do fewer or more rows.
How many pegs on round loom
I used a 41 peg loom.
What was your finished blanket size?
About 38 by 45 inches.
How many rolls do you do ?
I believe I did 33 rows.
I square down! 59 togo
Good luck with the remaining squares!
Instruicione en español!!!
I don't speak Spanish, so I suggest you turn on the English captions to help you understand. I have intentionally uploaded proper captions on my latest videos to make my work more accessible.
It looks like she's done approx 32 rows :)
Hi, very close. I mostly did 33 rows I think. 17 purl and 16 knit. Others may do more or less, as long as they're making squares, not rectangles. Thanks.
Mine are making rectangle , I started doing 32 than realized it was turning into rectangle 😢 is it still ok ?
I don’t fully understand how to join the squares together as well as how to join the strips when you make them......
This Good Knit Kisses video might be helpful th-cam.com/video/nKDCQYRUIHI/w-d-xo.html
How do we know how many rows to make it square?
Hello, I would suggest that you measure your own width since it will depend on your loom, on your yarn and how tightly you knit. For me personally it was 7.5 inches wide, and if I remember correctly it ended up being 17 purl rows and 16 knit rows. But this may be different for you.
