Well done to Jilly and yourself. Once again a brilliant tutorial and thanks to you Alison my daughter and myself have learned a new craft. xx Keep the ideas flowing ladies
Omggggg my grandma used to make those!!! she died 13 years ago n I was here thinking about her and decided to searc nail stuff n came across your page.... wow I haven’t seen anyone else done it thanks for sharing
Thank you. I made the loom following your instructions and it worked really well but I thought these nails were longer. Thanks again for sharing your tutorials and talents. BRILLIANT
These blankets are gorgeous.thank you very much for showing me how to do them.My daughter is having twin girls in December guess who is going to be busy..xxx
That is gorgeous!!!!! Im just starting to weave and such so it'll be awhile before i attempt this one but this is my end goal!! Thank you so much for sharing!
Hi Alison thank you for your great tutorial, I made the loom but used Dowling instead of nails and turned out great, I would like to add a little tip on how to save your fingers from getting sore, I used rubber thimble with the ends cut off and pulled them down my fingers, they work really well and really save your fingers. I hope this helps. Rita from Kilwinning.
This blanket is just precious♡ Thank you so much for sharing your talent. I think I can remember seeing blankets like these in the states when I was younger. I crochet but it sure seems like I could get a nice size afghan much quicker and it still looks beautiful and high quality. hopefully I'll have the guts to make a nail loom like this and make one some day. Have a wonderful day ☺
I just began to watch your wonderful tutorial videos and the blankets you make are absolutely gorgeous....I cannot wait to make some of the beautiful blankets 🤡by the way...hello from Canada 🍁
You should try making them they are easier than you think and I have a tutorial on making the frames yourself just wood nails and corner brackets. They are beautiful. There are many ladies in my craft group who sell beautiful ones too. The group is called Craftytwunts on facebook. Many will do a good deal Tell them I sent you for a good deal ha ha ha
Hi Alison, i am going to try to try this, it's beautiful. When you say a round do you count a full round when you have gone around the board twice, sorry if i seem a bit silly just don't want to mess it up, Thanks you.
One round is when you start at a corner nail and work around the loom back to the corner you began at. Each nail should be wound with wool. Make sure you frame has odd and even nails two longest sides with even and shortest sides with an odd number of nails. This is the only way it will work for you to get right around the loom and back to the beginning. Also, this will help to keep non pom pom blanket patterns even.
Both you and your tutorials are amazing. I have completed my first ever blanket today using a mixture of your tutorials. It is beautiful thank you. I was just watching this tutorial and I am hoping to make this design next. I was just wondering if theses nails are longer than 11/2 inches? I think I wold struggle to get so many rounds on my frame. Thanks again. Look forward to your reply. Happy New Year!,
the nails I used are 4 inches knocked in 1 inch the wooden peg ones are same. My sister had small nails in hers she made her own loom she just pulled out the short nails and gently knocked in longer ones. ( careful you don't split the wood so its up to you if you change the nails or make a new loom with longer nails is a good option)
This is fabulous Alison. I would love to make it but I don't know how to tie diagonally. can you tell me which of your videos shows how to tie diagonally. I think I've watched every one of your videos but don't know which one shows diagonal tieing
tie each diagonal separately start at the smallest diagonal remember to tie each end twice for security work your way along the diagonal to the end tie it securely cut your tying strands and move to the next one.
Hi after I do the second colour should I have 4 on first set of nails, and 3 on the other, hope that you can understand me first time doing this kind of blanket 🙄🙄🤪
Hi,that's okay, I'm going to do another round to make it 4 strands all round and hope for the best 🤪🤪 thank you for the reply,keep doing your videos they are greatly appreciated I also crochet but I'm a lefty but I can still follow your videos 😋😋🏴 🏴
If you make one you can make it any size you want. There is one on youtube where the ladies are using a door yup a door It was amazing to watch the tie it all. It must have taken them days.
I hang mine over the edge of a table put some boks on the blanket to hold it in place then trim the edge along the table edge. MIND MY TABLE IS OLD so I dont mind if it gets scraped a bit. Has anyone else got a tip on how to keep all the fringe even???
Hi, I can’t find your group on Facebook, has it changed names? Love your videos they are very clear and it’s made me want to try doing blankets. Thank you.
hi love doing these but getting stuck trying to do a nice bow can you do a video on putting the bow on a blanket when the ribbon is weaved on it thanks
Try this on your blanket frame even if you have nails if you don't pull too tight you will get it off. th-cam.com/video/5lwDpFdJilU/w-d-xo.html or try this one. you can easily make this bow maker. th-cam.com/video/lqTohIdd1SA/w-d-xo.html and here is how to do the ribbon and bow on the blanket th-cam.com/video/C7YUGavusYU/w-d-xo.html
Hi there. Really enjoyed your tutorial. I noticed you were using a loom with 13x10 nails. How far apart are the nails and approximately what size was the finished blanket.?
This is a small demo loom. The pegs are one and a half inches apart. I have a tutorial on my channel on how to make one with nails you can follow that and make any size you need. th-cam.com/video/PWzSiMVankc/w-d-xo.html
Any tips on making a stand for the loom? I had spinal surgery and it's killing me. i use my ironing board so I cam stamd but it means I can't work on it for long x
Sorry for not responding quickly, yes you can do that but if you have lets say a white base I would tie the pink stripe from the top so the tying line blends in. If you tie the pink from the back you will have pink lines on your white base and it will not look nice. but you can just tie it all in your base colour from the back so you will have white crosses on the front if you understand what I mean.
thanks for your help Alison,i decided to tie in the 2 colours I am working in on each section and it looks really nice,by the way thank you for all your tutorials they are brilliant!
Yes, you would need a big loom. I have tried to join smaller ones but they look messy around the fringes and you cant cut the fring off or the blanket falls apart when washed.
Yes they are usually all tied the same in an X just try to remember to tie all around the edges twice so do the same X twice to avoid the strands pulling out.
You tie it diagonally up the lines in an X try this one th-cam.com/video/1-DI9V-YfvQ/w-d-xo.html The tying principle is the same. Tie each diagonal line at a time tie secure at one end work along tying in an X where the top color overlaps the base color tie secure at the end cut the wool/yarn and begin again on the next diagonal.
Mine are demonstration sizes larger ones are made to decorate the tops of baby prams/strollers. The ones without the pom poms can be used as blankets, comforters and made much bigger to fit a bed.
These are demonstration size you can buy or make bigger looms. To make larger blankets. These are made to decorate the topmost covering of a baby parm/stroller. The one you get with the pram.

Brilliant idea, thank you. I wear woollen gloves with the very top of the fingers cut off. so the tip of my fingers pokes through.

Hi Alison ,do you have any tips on cutting the fringe once the blanket is off the loom? It takes me ages to cut them even, thanks in advance x

Worked a treat and saved so much time, thanks Alison .xx

Craft Inspirations.
Allison, thanks! Very beautiful! Tell me, what is the composition of your yarn?
This in the USA will be worsted weight 4. It is double knitting in the UK you can make it with what is known in the USA as basic yarn.
Thank you!
hi love doing these but getting stuck trying to do a nice bow can you do a video on putting the bow on a blanket when the ribbon is weaved on it thanks
Try this on your blanket frame even if you have nails if you don't pull too tight you will get it off. th-cam.com/video/5lwDpFdJilU/w-d-xo.html or try this one. you can easily make this bow maker. th-cam.com/video/lqTohIdd1SA/w-d-xo.html and here is how to do the ribbon and bow on the blanket th-cam.com/video/C7YUGavusYU/w-d-xo.html
thankyou will do
thankyou and how do you tie off with a shuttle instead of the knot method on the blankets thanks
With which colour do you tied blanked , white or pink?
i tied the pin with pink and the white with white
Can you join 2 or more together to make a bigger blanket
Darla, Its cheap to make a larger frme, they dont look nice sewn or tied together too much fringe make it look messy.
Hi there. Really enjoyed your tutorial. I noticed you were using a loom with 13x10 nails. How far apart are the nails and approximately what size was the finished blanket.?
This is a small demo loom. The pegs are one and a half inches apart. I have a tutorial on my channel on how to make one with nails you can follow that and make any size you need. th-cam.com/video/PWzSiMVankc/w-d-xo.html
when you do the pink, do you fill in the empty nails on the way back or do you go back over the wool from the firsy round? x
No just go over the color you did in my case the pink. Don't do the empty nails. XX
Hi Alison,do you have a video of the diamond and stars blanket?
No, sorry It belongs to another designer.
Do you have a tutorial as to add the ribbon ect? To the blankets? Thanks x
th-cam.com/video/C7YUGavusYU/w-d-xo.html this one is about adding ribbons.
How do you do the tie in between
the tying processes is usually shown in the videos or look for the video how to tie a pom pom loom blanket
Hi what is the name of the tool you use to sew
do you cross tie in the middle of each one Alison?
yes, honey, you do.
thank you xx
Any tips on making a stand for the loom? I had spinal surgery and it's killing me. i use my ironing board so I cam stamd but it means I can't work on it for long x
google loom stands. you will see some pictures personally I would just do an inverted T shape that should be enough or Rose Hill sells stands too
Waooh, l really love this beautiful blankets. Going to try, but how can I increase the size of the blanket? Thanks.
You will need a larger loom frame.
hi Alison do you tie each colour separate so pink on pink and white on white?
Sorry for not responding quickly, yes you can do that but if you have lets say a white base I would tie the pink stripe from the top so the tying line blends in.

thanks for your help Alison,i decided to tie in the 2 colours I am working in on each section and it looks really nice,by the way thank you for all your tutorials they are brilliant!
These are gorgeous but in order to get blanket size, wouldn't I have to make a loom the size of my bed? lol
Yes, you would need a big loom. I have tried to join smaller ones but they look messy around the fringes and you cant cut the fring off or the blanket falls apart when washed.
Have you a link for making the loom please.
th-cam.com/video/PWzSiMVankc/w-d-xo.html
how do you add the pink silky ribbon??
Weave it through the edge, I start at the middle of the bottom and weave all around back to the bottom and tie a nice bow.
Hi is this tied like a non pom pom please x
Yes they are usually all tied the same in an X just try to remember to tie all around the edges twice so do the same X twice to avoid the strands pulling out.
Thankyou I always tie twice after watching your 1st video x
Hi can u sent me the link how to tie this cross blanket please thank you
You tie it diagonally up the lines in an X try this one th-cam.com/video/1-DI9V-YfvQ/w-d-xo.html The tying principle is the same. Tie each diagonal line at a time tie secure at one end work along tying in an X where the top color overlaps the base color tie secure at the end cut the wool/yarn and begin again on the next diagonal.
Where did you get your loom board table from ? X
I made the stand from an old wooden towel rail hanger
hi. super video but plzzz show me how to make a flower because I'm new learner. plzzzzzzz not explain in your video..... 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I do not know what you mean by a flower?
Puffy blankets
what are you supposed to do with a blanket that small?
Mine are demonstration sizes larger ones are made to decorate the tops of baby prams/strollers. The ones without the pom poms can be used as blankets, comforters and made much bigger to fit a bed.
How about for a dolls pram for children to o,at with!
Meant play with...

Thank you
Tame
How can they be called blankets? They are not big enough for anything except a new born or half a leg.
These are demonstration size you can buy or make bigger looms. To make larger blankets. These are made to decorate the topmost covering of a baby parm/stroller. The one you get with the pram.
