Thank you for watching! I am still learning myself after all these years and try to treat each video as if I new loomer is watching. I know it may annoy some when I go over basics each time but I know it helps new loomers. I'm appreciative of every subscriber I have here.
Thank you so much for such great instructions. Always wanted to use these looms and had NO IDEA how they worked. I can knit, and crochet, but had to teach myself by turning the book upside down as I'm left handed. (Same way I taught myself to play Guitar!) But with RA and occasional carpal tunnel (I'm permanently disabled) bothering me on long detailed projects I find this amazingly easy and so simple to do! I love it and your videos. Thanks for helping me to keep my love of arts and crafts alive! I adore Quilting, Cross stitch, and Embroidery too! I'm too young to hang up my yarn and needles yet! (56!) So you have no idea how much I appreciate this! These tears are from JOY! Bless YOU Virginia! Can't wait to get a long loom to go with these as well! I'll be watching all your videos! Muah Dear! I so appreciate this! Suzi
Thank you for making a normal, easy to follow video. This is my first blanket and I'm still new to knitting. I cannot understand the knitting terms in most of the blanket videos. Hopefully I'll get there one day! Thanks again!!
Thank you so much!!! I tried to learn how to knit, couldn't, so I bought a loom set. I went through several videos trying to learn how to loom and finally found this video of yours! Super easy!!! And I am loving how it is progressing!!! God bless you and keep you!!! ❤️😁🙏❤️😁🙏❤️😁🙏
I COULDN'T HAVE SAID IT BETTER!!!!!!! I could hug you. You are the only person I have found that explains this to where I can understand it. Thank you SO much. I haven't gotten to see your other videos yet but please keep making them. If you can teach other stitches or patterns that would be awesome. Thank you SO much. :) VIRGINIA, IN ADDITION YOU ARE SO GOOD AT THIS.
You are just a joy to watch! I learned so much from your video. I’m wanting to make my daughter and husband blankets. You took your time and were patient with your explanations!❤
I really like the way you go through things step by step. The counter was a great idea! Thanks for the type. I also will incorporate adding the tail of my slip stitch onto the loom, vs letting it hang,. I started a quilt on a small loom and thought that I could do rows and then sew them together but using the e stitch, it does roll really bad. So I will try it on the larger loom. I want to prevent it from curling, which videos teach a different stitch that will not roll on me. I really appreciate your videos and great explanation
Thank you. The garter stitch helps with curling. You can do smaller squares this way and sew together like you wanted. th-cam.com/video/9hLijHF4B5I/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for your video. This is the simplest blanket video that I have seen on here, and it's very easy. You talk to us like were right there with you, and I appreciate that. Your videos are new to me, where can I see more?. I recently taught myself to knit, and crochet, thanks to you tube, and have been doing the round looms for about 2 years now, and bought myself the square looms at the same time , and just decided to start working on them now. So Thanks again for your videos.
Just starting to learn how to loom and your videos are the BEST! You explain things so well, show what your doing so we can see it and I love that you answer your viewers back! I will be seeing a lot of you, lol. Thanks and thanks!!!
THANK YOU!!! I'm totally new to working to anything creative. You're video, is the 1 I've been searching for. Now I know what others are doing/showing other how to create. I've literally never seen how to make any kind of blanket. They only showed the ewrap for hats or when using the round loom. I now understand what the others were saying. Thank again, hope I can find many more of your videos.........
Hon, your loom knitting posture is just like mine! Also, we could be twins! Which makes you more relatable than many other loom knitting tutorials. You are a real person.
Exactly. It's about finding the right looms FOR YOU. However, I do have an "S" type loom to make 5ft wide blankets but that was a gift. If you need a wider blanket then you can make panels with this one and sew them together. :)
Thanks, Virginia! I love that this project is not overwhelming to a newbie like me. And THANK YOU for explaining that purling prevents curling!!! I have been through several people's videos, plus the book that came with my loom, and nobody else mentioned that.
its sur^prizing how these OLD videos 360p visual quality with a lame audio are the BESTTTTT!!!! Thank you imma try doing a baby blaket with double warn

Thank you. This was very helpful. I have only made a scarf on my round loom. My son (7 y/o) wanted to try a blanket so we got a square loom but needed pointers before I tried teach him! Again very helpful thanks for sharing!!
Thanks so much for posting this (and all of your other videos.) I found a loom set at a thrift store (without directions) and I've been wondering what to do with it. I found the product's website to be confusing and vague. I have only crochet experience, so your videos are really helping to explain everything and inspire me! Much love!
You can make panels and then sew them together (using yarn). Keep track of the amount of rows you do to make sure the panels are the same length as much as possible.
I have been crocheting for over 40 yrs and more but since I have fibromyalgia and other bone related diesies I bought 2kb kitting loomsand I don't know what I want to try first plus I have so much yarn to choose from I will be Definitely checking out more if ur vids u make it so easy thanks 😘
Hi Virginia...just wanted to say thank you for this video.I wanted so badly to make a baby blanket for a friend but I just could not figure out what to do when I got to the end of my loom.(how to turn around and go back the other way),but you helped me figure it out.My blanket is half done now and it looks so pretty.You're the best!
I love your tutorials, they really help. I go between your channel and mikeyssmail as well for both knitting and crocheting. I do have a question, I'm making my first blanket but I only have the round looms. Can you use those to make blankets?
Thank you for this - I been trying different video samples and they were not what I wanted. Finally understand this and it is working well with the slick soft yarn I bought on sale lol
OMG!!!! Your tutorial is so awesome! I have been watching video after video trying to figure how to use my loom. Your video helped me so very much! Thank you!
So much knitting so much love into my blanket I did get a little confused on when I had to skip the stage but don't worry I did figured out because when we had skipped the first one I just got a little bit confused at the shop that I figured it out it's actually never worked like this and illuminating
I've seen a lot of people saying their stiches got too tight when doing the E stitch. I found that if the cross-over point of the wrap in on the INSIDE of the loom, the tension is good and never gets too tight. You must wrap the pegs in the same direction each time. You'll know immediately if you did it backward.
Thank you! I got a loom like this for Christmas and was wondering if I could thread it in this manner, and you've shown me that you can! Lovely work you've done, too - I will gladly subscribe! :)
Virginia I love ur videos on loom knitt I watch them over and over sometimes I get it sometimes I don't I was wondering how u make a baby blanket on a round loom I don't have a long one.
It doesn't on the size of the round loom. Like is it a Knifty Knitter loom? With round looms you sometimes need to make panels and sew together to get the width/length you want.
I want to make a baby blanket but I don't want to change colors its call the Lullaby Baby Blanket do you no if there is a video tutorial or maybe you can do one since you are so good at explaining the instructions and you are so awesome at it I would love it and I know a lot others would too....
***** I would have to know more about the blanket you are talking about. Again, if it is a pattern I would need permission. As for colors, I would need to know the specific Lullaby Baby Blanket pattern since there are a few out there called that.
I think you'll remember that I was the one who was having trouble with the big loop when I did the pullover. I was having the loop that was way too big. Well I have figured out that problem and my blanket is getting to be pretty big. My question to you is I am almost done with a whole scheme of yarn and need to continue with another. Do I just tie the two ends together from the old one to the new one and make a couple of knots that will end up being hidden in the project and continue on or is there another step I should do? And everybody is right, your videos are great and they do help beginners like us learn to loom knit. I recently watched your video on how to cast off and when I'm done I will be going back to your video. Thanks again. Oh yeah I have started wearing my wrist brace when I knit. At least on the hand that's doing all the work. I don't need to wear the one on the hand that's just holding the loom. That is helping. Gloves did not help but my brace did help which I didn't even think of until you had mentioned me wearing gloves. So thank you for that as well.
Hi Virginia..I am new to this and have watched the video over and over but I am still wondering something. I am making a baby blanket and it lovely on the loom, except where I am skipping the end pegs every other. I am getting a slant on my blanket and was wondering once I am done and take it off the loom am I going to have a square blanket? I love your videos!!!
The only time the end pegs are "skipped" is when you are working your way back and forth. The end peg becomes the "first" peg in that row and has nothing done to it (in the video). I think I had a small slant. If you wan to, practice making something smaller, like a dishcloth, and take it off the loom and see what it looks like then.
My loom has 32 pegs and is the long one. When I take it off the loom will that be the length or width? Sorry, but this is my first blanket and my third project. Thanks for your help!
It will be the width but it won't be as wide as the loom. It shrinks down a little (on any loom). Do you have a tape measure? That will give you an idea about what width you have on the loom now. Any more questions don't hesitate to ask, that's what I'm here for! :)
Hi Virginia, I did get my blanket off and it worked great. I do however have a point in my blanket where I skipped the peg every other time. My question is what if I don't do that? What if I just do all the pegs each time? I am going to add fringe to hide the point but I still have to make one more for my other niece.
You can invest in an "S" type loom that should create a wide, adult size panel (blanket). It would be similar to the DA Loom Infinity II loom I have a few videos on but they are no longer for sale. Try CindiWood looms. Or, you can make panels with the biggest loom you have and then sew together.
I started a baby blanket with knitting needles could I finish with the loom? have hurt my neck and now my fingers go numb, so thought this might be easier. Thanks
I'm not totally sure because I don't needle knit so I don't know how the gauge would be switching to a loom. All you can do is try. If you can put loops of the blanket on the loom it might work. Again not 100% sure
It depends on how big the person is honestly. You may have to make panels and sew them together. I'm plus size so I would have to but again, depends on the size of the person. :)
Virginia Galligan i'd need panels myself but it's for my tiny 5 foot grandma lol i don't know how to make a shawl just started looming a cpl weeks ago and she just got put in nursing home and wants something for the chilly dining room ty for your reply
Did you do a garter stitch at the begining and end? If not, you could try blocking it or adding a crochet border around. I don't have a video on adding that because I don't do it.
What I learned if if you knit a row, then purl a row, then knit a row, then purl a row (repeat this process a few times and it will help). Also, you can "block" the blanket when done, by wetting it and laying it out flat to dry.
I have a question about changing colors, when counting your rows, do you count you cast on (the first time around with the e stitch)? Or do you not start counting until the first knit over? Also, when you change colors, do you count that first wrap? Thank you, sorry if I'm a little confused, very new to this...but loving it so far :)
Nice video. I just thought of something. Is there anyway you could set your camera up to where you work your projects on a flat surface? I just feel for you trying to juggle your tools around in order to stay in front of the camera. I would think it would be so much easier for you and viewers would benefit from this also. I just would like to see things made easier on you, because I just love your videos. thank you for taking the time to do these for all of us.
I need your advice. I am working on a baby blanket on a loom. One of the plastic pegs broke right in the middle. Do I try and use Super Glue? Do I purchase the same loom and try to move it. Do I try and cast off and connect it to another one
Have far into the blanket did you get? I haven't used super glue on pegs. Do you have the info to write to the company that made them and see if they can help?
My daughter wants an blanket with vertical stripes. Each strip she wants about 9" wide, some wider. Is there a way to knit them together as I go or do I have to sew them together after each color is done? I would prefer to do a fast simple single rake stitch.
It might be able to be done on a big loom if you have one, like an S rake loom otherwise I think you might have to make strips and sew them together. Can you crochet? I might be easier (though maybe not faster) to make a simple stripped blanket that way instead.
I haven't crocheted in years, that is why I like the looms so much. I don't mind sewing them together, just wishful thinking there might be a quicker way, lol. Thanks for your thoughts on it though.
Just cast on and e-wrap around the loom, then wrap the loom again and knit over. You can alternate between knitting and purling to help the blanket not to curl.
It’s okay . I actually spoken someone in my knitting class yesterday she help me a lot too . I figure it out . It’s coming out really good I’m like half way done . It does take a long time though . Because I have to use different knitting loom and use the same measurement and same size of rolls .
I'm new to knitting on a loom..well knitting all together. And if it wasn't for u I dnt thx I would have ever figured it out..lol So thank u so much for taking ur time and being such a great teacher. Cause I've watched a few you tube videos on knitting on a loom and couldn't figure it out till I found it videos..also have u ever had any probelms of ur yarn coming apart after adding the new yarn..thank you so much!!
@@SimplyIntertwined awesome..im.doin my first blanket now..How many rolls of yarn did you use..and im using the biggest loom that came wit my loom kit..
It will depend on the type of yarn you are using, whether it's bulky yarn or if it is yarn you have to double up to you. Its been while size I made a baby blanket so I can't remember exactly what I used in terms of skeins. It will also depend on the size of the skeins how much you will need.
@@SimplyIntertwined I'm using a number 4 and I'm mot doubling up, I'm doin the u rap..and I'm not doin a Baby blanket..and I'm using the fabric wit the heart on it..the kind u used n one of ur videos
So what size of you going for? You can use this video to help you figure out roughly how much you need, just replace what I call the values with inches. I hope it makes since. th-cam.com/video/OX2X6nZ4lHE/w-d-xo.html
Hi on the ends of the blanket when you start to go back in the other direction you skipped the first peg... do you do that when you are PKP on the first three pegs thanks kallie
It would depend on the size of the loom. You can make flat panels using a round loom but the size would be different. You may have to panels and sew them together.
hi i had a question i have the blue loom i think its...14-15 inches..do you think it would look right if i did afew sections and tied (sew) the sections together and make a big blanket?..its for my boyfriend and he likes the bigger blankets...Ideas?
You can and then join together. As for how many, I'm not 100% sure. I haven't used this loom in a while so I don't remember the measurements of the finished project depending on the amount of pegs used. I would say make one and then measure and compare to a normal blanket and it should give you an idea of how many. I am pretty sure at least 4 or more. Sorry I couldn't be more help!
What I would like to know and perhaps you could tell me, is how wide will the blanket be using the largest loom? I want to make a blanket between 35-45 inches wide. I know I can make it whatever length, but it's difficult to judge the width.
? I know how to do the garter stitch but can you do a simple short video on just doing it on the edges so I can ewrap the rest of the blanket. Oh and by the way, I love your informative videos, thank you for your help !
hello! can u make dog clothes from a loom? idon't know how to crochet and the loom thing is fun and fast! that way I can make one for my dog and some for the dogs at the shelter... thank youuu!!
I understand that if you use the large loom and do the pattern the way you demonstrated it will double the width, what if you want something double the doubled width... Is there a process that you can attach the two "panels" together?
hi virginia. i was just wondering how wide your final blanket is? i am not sure if i have the same long loom as you, mine is about 22 inches long with 62 pegs, it looks about the same size but mine is green. i want to make a baby blanket, with a basket weave pattern and a seed stitch border, with a bulky yarn, but i'm worried that my blanket won't be wide enough. do you think it will be wide enough? i don't really know how wide a baby blanket should be.
I can't remember exactly how wide it was, I haven't made one it awhile. But, I believe we might have the same. This loom was the biggest out of a four pack that was : blue, green, yellow, and pink. (Biggest to smallest). I've made baby blankets in different sizes and width depending on where the person lives. (Hotter weather, smaller blanket lol) or if it will be used in a crib or over a car seat. Once you work a few rows you will be able to gauge the width better and can use a flexible measurement to get an idea.
I have a lot of my blanket done but my bottom and sides are rolling what can I do about it. At the begining I have cast on using the E-wrap and the 2nd row Purled 3rd row purled then the rest is E-wraped but it is stilled rolling. I even put in 2 more purl rows over half way down to give it a little of my own style and to try to stop the rolling. Help me please!!
Hi, I am posting on my husband's account. I just started loom knitting a baby blanket and in your video you mentioned curling. If it is already started to curl because I didn't know how to prevent it (new at this) is there a way to fix it?
A lot of knitters show off, thanks for being nice and patient with new comers to loom knitting.

I've seen a lot of people saying their stiches got too tight when doing the E stitch. I found that if the cross-over point of the wrap in on the INSIDE of the loom, the tension is good and never gets too tight. You must wrap the pegs in the same direction each time. You'll know immediately if you did it backward.
By zig zag do you mean using both sides at once? It will create a smaller panel or a thicker panel depending on the yarn.
Thank you! I got a loom like this for Christmas and was wondering if I could thread it in this manner, and you've shown me that you can! Lovely work you've done, too - I will gladly subscribe! :)
Glad I could help!
Thank you for your easy to understand instructions. I am absolutely subscribing to your channel.
Thank you! I hope you like my newer videos too!
Virginia I love ur videos on loom knitt I watch them over and over sometimes I get it sometimes I don't I was wondering how u make a baby blanket on a round loom I don't have a long one.
It doesn't on the size of the round loom. Like is it a Knifty Knitter loom? With round looms you sometimes need to make panels and sew together to get the width/length you want.
I want to make a baby blanket but I don't want to change colors its call the Lullaby Baby Blanket do you no if there is a video tutorial or maybe you can do one since you are so good at explaining the instructions and you are so awesome at it I would love it and I know a lot others would too....
If it is a specific pattern I would need permission to do a video (if I understand the pattern).
***** I would have to know more about the blanket you are talking about. Again, if it is a pattern I would need permission. As for colors, I would need to know the specific Lullaby Baby Blanket pattern since there are a few out there called that.
I think you'll remember that I was the one who was having trouble with the big loop when I did the pullover. I was having the loop that was way too big. Well I have figured out that problem and my blanket is getting to be pretty big. My question to you is I am almost done with a whole scheme of yarn and need to continue with another. Do I just tie the two ends together from the old one to the new one and make a couple of knots that will end up being hidden in the project and continue on or is there another step I should do? And everybody is right, your videos are great and they do help beginners like us learn to loom knit. I recently watched your video on how to cast off and when I'm done I will be going back to your video. Thanks again. Oh yeah I have started wearing my wrist brace when I knit. At least on the hand that's doing all the work. I don't need to wear the one on the hand that's just holding the loom. That is helping. Gloves did not help but my brace did help which I didn't even think of until you had mentioned me wearing gloves. So thank you for that as well.
I typically just tie the new to the old, but there are other methods. The tying the old to new and then hiding what I need to has worked for me.
Hi Virginia..I am new to this and have watched the video over and over but I am still wondering something. I am making a baby blanket and it lovely on the loom, except where I am skipping the end pegs every other. I am getting a slant on my blanket and was wondering once I am done and take it off the loom am I going to have a square blanket? I love your videos!!!
The only time the end pegs are "skipped" is when you are working your way back and forth. The end peg becomes the "first" peg in that row and has nothing done to it (in the video). I think I had a small slant. If you wan to, practice making something smaller, like a dishcloth, and take it off the loom and see what it looks like then.
i made a blanket on the looms for myself on the big looms and i love it.
i'm glad!
I love this video. I refer to it all the time because I don’t always remember please don’t take it down.
I won't be taking it down. I am glad it helps you. I have even had to refer to my past videos when I forgot things.
My loom has 32 pegs and is the long one. When I take it off the loom will that be the length or width? Sorry, but this is my first blanket and my third project. Thanks for your help!
It will be the width but it won't be as wide as the loom. It shrinks down a little (on any loom). Do you have a tape measure? That will give you an idea about what width you have on the loom now. Any more questions don't hesitate to ask, that's what I'm here for! :)
Hi Virginia, I did get my blanket off and it worked great. I do however have a point in my blanket where I skipped the peg every other time. My question is what if I don't do that? What if I just do all the pegs each time? I am going to add fringe to hide the point but I still have to make one more for my other niece.
I'd love to see how the blanket came out. You could post a picture on my Facebook page.
I sent a friend request. I am diane lynne.
You can invest in an "S" type loom that should create a wide, adult size panel (blanket). It would be similar to the DA Loom Infinity II loom I have a few videos on but they are no longer for sale. Try CindiWood looms. Or, you can make panels with the biggest loom you have and then sew together.
I started a baby blanket with knitting needles could I finish with the loom? have hurt my neck and now my fingers go numb, so thought this might be easier. Thanks
I'm not totally sure because I don't needle knit so I don't know how the gauge would be switching to a loom. All you can do is try. If you can put loops of the blanket on the loom it might work. Again not 100% sure
love your videos. do you think this would work as a throw blanket?
It depends on how big the person is honestly. You may have to make panels and sew them together. I'm plus size so I would have to but again, depends on the size of the person. :)
Virginia Galligan i'd need panels myself but it's for my tiny 5 foot grandma lol
i don't know how to make a shawl just started looming a cpl weeks ago and she just got put in nursing home and wants something for the chilly dining room ty for your reply
I hope it works for you then :)
Did you do a garter stitch at the begining and end? If not, you could try blocking it or adding a crochet border around. I don't have a video on adding that because I don't do it.
What I learned if if you knit a row, then purl a row, then knit a row, then purl a row (repeat this process a few times and it will help). Also, you can "block" the blanket when done, by wetting it and laying it out flat to dry.
I have a question about changing colors, when counting your rows, do you count you cast on (the first time around with the e stitch)? Or do you not start counting until the first knit over? Also, when you change colors, do you count that first wrap? Thank you, sorry if I'm a little confused, very new to this...but loving it so far :)
You can do that, I'm working on a patchwork blanket for my daughter. I'm making different squares and then will join them together.
Thanks you, your video was very useful, thanks from Spain
Glad it was helpful!
thanks will do. but what's the difference going around your peg and doing the zig zag?
Nice video. I just thought of something. Is there anyway you could set your camera up to where you work your projects on a flat surface? I just feel for you trying to juggle your tools around in order to stay in front of the camera. I would think it would be so much easier for you and viewers would benefit from this also. I just would like to see things made easier on you, because I just love your videos. thank you for taking the time to do these for all of us.
I really like your videos and I have learned a lot. My question is how would I make a larger blanket ??? How would you tie them into each other???
nancy R You could invest in an "S" type loom which will give you a bigger blanket or "sew" panels together.
Joshua M. Galligan
Love, love the way you explain the process....
Thank you! Make sure to check out newer videos too where the camera angle is better.
Very good video. I have a problem with the loops getting tighter and tighter. What am I doing wro`g and how do I correct this? Thank you...
Try to watch your tension when wrapping the pegs. Check out this video of mine and see if it helps! th-cam.com/video/lqjVl8tooBk/w-d-xo.html
It depends on the size of the baby blanket you make, the loom in the video is about 22 in long. It came in a set of 4 through Amazon.
I need your advice. I am working on a baby blanket on a loom. One of the plastic pegs broke right in the middle. Do I try and use Super Glue? Do I purchase the same loom and try to move it. Do I try and cast off and connect it to another one
Have far into the blanket did you get? I haven't used super glue on pegs. Do you have the info to write to the company that made them and see if they can help?
Thank u so much for sharing this. Very simple.
@@wandacasper5612 You're welcome! Have fun!
My daughter wants an blanket with vertical stripes. Each strip she wants about 9" wide, some wider. Is there a way to knit them together as I go or do I have to sew them together after each color is done? I would prefer to do a fast simple single rake stitch.
It might be able to be done on a big loom if you have one, like an S rake loom otherwise I think you might have to make strips and sew them together. Can you crochet? I might be easier (though maybe not faster) to make a simple stripped blanket that way instead.
I haven't crocheted in years, that is why I like the looms so much. I don't mind sewing them together, just wishful thinking there might be a quicker way, lol. Thanks for your thoughts on it though.
would adding tassels help with the curling you think?
It could I believe. :)
Just cast on and e-wrap around the loom, then wrap the loom again and knit over. You can alternate between knitting and purling to help the blanket not to curl.
Yes, just switch them out or use two different colors at once, depending on the look you want.
I must say I like the time you take to teach this
Thank you
It’s okay . I actually spoken someone in my knitting class yesterday she help me a lot too . I figure it out . It’s coming out really good I’m like half way done . It does take a long time though . Because I have to use different knitting loom and use the same measurement and same size of rolls .
I'm new to knitting on a loom..well knitting all together. And if it wasn't for u I dnt thx I would have ever figured it out..lol
So thank u so much for taking ur time and being such a great teacher. Cause I've watched a few you tube videos on knitting on a loom and couldn't figure it out till I found it videos..also have u ever had any probelms of ur yarn coming apart after adding the new yarn..thank you so much!!
I typically just tie the new to the old and I haven't had an issues yet with it coming apart.
@@SimplyIntertwined awesome..im.doin my first blanket now..How many rolls of yarn did you use..and im using the biggest loom that came wit my loom kit..
It will depend on the type of yarn you are using, whether it's bulky yarn or if it is yarn you have to double up to you. Its been while size I made a baby blanket so I can't remember exactly what I used in terms of skeins. It will also depend on the size of the skeins how much you will need.
@@SimplyIntertwined I'm using a number 4 and I'm mot doubling up, I'm doin the u rap..and I'm not doin a Baby blanket..and I'm using the fabric wit the heart on it..the kind u used n one of ur videos
So what size of you going for? You can use this video to help you figure out roughly how much you need, just replace what I call the values with inches. I hope it makes since. th-cam.com/video/OX2X6nZ4lHE/w-d-xo.html
Hi on the ends of the blanket when you start to go back in the other direction you skipped the first peg... do you do that when you are PKP on the first three pegs
thanks kallie
I was wondering if you can do this on a round loom? Would I do it the same way?
It would depend on the size of the loom. You can make flat panels using a round loom but the size would be different. You may have to panels and sew them together.
Thank you for making this all make since!! lol I am so anxious to try this out! I really hope I can figure it all out.
+Rikki Hurt Just take your time. :) And have fun!
I just finished my blanket. Do you have a video on how to add a border so it doesn't curl?
I use a bendy straw to get between the pegs i have bigger fingers so its hard to get between.
Whatever works! 😀
hi i had a question i have the blue loom i think its...14-15 inches..do you think it would look right if i did afew sections and tied (sew) the sections together and make a big blanket?..its for my boyfriend and he likes the bigger blankets...Ideas?
I love how you break everything down I"m a beginner thank you
Can you do like full size blanket on the long knitting loom . How many do you have to to make full size blanket ?
You can and then join together. As for how many, I'm not 100% sure. I haven't used this loom in a while so I don't remember the measurements of the finished project depending on the amount of pegs used. I would say make one and then measure and compare to a normal blanket and it should give you an idea of how many. I am pretty sure at least 4 or more. Sorry I couldn't be more help!
There are different ways to make a blankets. You can use it as a rake instead and do like you said.
thankyou for your video, you helped me understand better how to use the knitting tool.
Thank you for watching. :)
Beautiful craft 👌👌👌👌👌 now you have a new subscriber
Thank you!
What I would like to know and perhaps you could tell me, is how wide will the blanket be using the largest loom? I want to make a blanket between 35-45 inches wide. I know I can make it whatever length, but it's difficult to judge the width.
It's been a while since I made a blanket on there I would have to do one then then measure the results.
Right now I''m doing the figure eight stitch for some scarves. Can I do that for a baby blanket?
You can just be careful with what gauge loom you use so the "gaps" won't get the baby's fingers stuck.
? I know how to do the garter stitch but can you do a simple short video on just doing it on the edges so I can ewrap the rest of the blanket. Oh and by the way, I love your informative videos, thank you for your help !
hello! can u make dog clothes from a loom? idon't know how to crochet and the loom thing is fun and fast! that way I can make one for my dog and some for the dogs at the shelter... thank youuu!!
@uteautumnlovr You want the blanket to have garter stitch on the top and bottom along with sides right?
I understand that if you use the large loom and do the pattern the way you demonstrated it will double the width, what if you want something double the doubled width... Is there a process that you can attach the two "panels" together?
You can make as many panels as you want and "sew" them together or you can invest in an "S" shaped loom which will give you around a 4-5 foot width.
Virginia Galligan Thank you!
It looks very pretty and easy to learn
Thank you so much 😊
Thank you so much for this well presented vid! You inspired me to try it!
Thank you! Have fun!
I Am from PR you explain very good. Thanks. Hi.
Thank you for watching.
hi virginia. i was just wondering how wide your final blanket is? i am not sure if i have the same long loom as you, mine is about 22 inches long with 62 pegs, it looks about the same size but mine is green. i want to make a baby blanket, with a basket weave pattern and a seed stitch border, with a bulky yarn, but i'm worried that my blanket won't be wide enough. do you think it will be wide enough? i don't really know how wide a baby blanket should be.
I can't remember exactly how wide it was, I haven't made one it awhile. But, I believe we might have the same. This loom was the biggest out of a four pack that was : blue, green, yellow, and pink. (Biggest to smallest). I've made baby blankets in different sizes and width depending on where the person lives. (Hotter weather, smaller blanket lol) or if it will be used in a crib or over a car seat. Once you work a few rows you will be able to gauge the width better and can use a flexible measurement to get an idea.
I have a lot of my blanket done but my bottom and sides are rolling what can I do about it. At the begining I have cast on using the E-wrap and the 2nd row Purled 3rd row purled then the rest is E-wraped but it is stilled rolling. I even put in 2 more purl rows over half way down to give it a little of my own style and to try to stop the rolling. Help me please!!
Hi, I am posting on my husband's account. I just started loom knitting a baby blanket and in your video you mentioned curling. If it is already started to curl because I didn't know how to prevent it (new at this) is there a way to fix it?
thank you for this tutorial. I was going to ask what Victoria asked but you answered her. Thank you!
