Denise: bless you for sharing this. I gave up my much loved loom knitting due to a disability in my hands, making it next to impossible to hold the hooks. Now I can hold the hook without pain or frustration and am knitting all my favorites for family and friends. Thank you so much!
LoomaHat.com Denise, passing along a tip. My roommate saw the grip cover on my hook and asked if we could make a larger one to cover her baby's bottles. Using a 12 peg flower loom and your instrux, we made 3 bottle covers in a day! Bright, colorful and keeps the glass bottle cuddled up in a protective sheath, that is easily removed for cleaning. We are both so grateful for your tutorial. I even figured out how to cover the bottom of the bottle and make a little raised foot to keep the bottle level. So Much Fun. I will try and get a picture for your gallery :) Blessings to you for all you do!
LoomaHat.com YAY... I am so glad I had an idea to contribute! To make the foot, do a row of twisted bands peg to peg. Next row, link 2 bands together and place them on peg 1, skip 2 and 3 and put on peg 4. Repeat on 2 and 5, 3 and 6 etc., knit off. Row 3, link 3 bands together, stretching each longer band across (as if making a flower) 1 to 6, 2 to 7 etc., until all have a set of bands, then knit off. Now you can start using bands just as you would for the grip, i.e, 1 band over 2 pegs. It takes 12 bands per row, 8 rows per inch (aprox). When you get to the end, do a chain cast off until you have only one band left, then lift up the next (previously cast off) onto the next peg and use the little plastic double hook to secure the end and voila, done and done. :) The bottle sock will stretch enough...Put it on like you would pantyhose, rolling it up the bottle. I've been playing around with the idea of making a half grip for my mason jars (that I use for my ice tea) using the 24 peg knifty knitter :) I'll let you know how it works out. Have a blessed day! L
This is great. Have made a few for my loom hooks. When I tried to make one for my small crochet hooks, it seemed too big, so I made one using 4 pegs instead of 6 and it works great. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.
This is perfect! One of my grand daughter's (I have 6) occupational therapist wanted her to have a thicker grip on a short pencil. I knew I had seen this in your videos. Very easy. I am going to have the girls make them their own way. Another great for a loom!
Pam Parent Looms are awesome Pam.. Here is a list of 100 FREE patterns by different designers on different sites Click HERE: www.loomahat.com/round-loom/
What a god-send Denise!! I have not been loom knitting for a long period of time, but have been loom knitting alot (thanks to you and your fabulous videos)!! My thumb was getting very painful so I made one of these and now I am going to cover all my hooks. Thank you for such thorough videos. I am hooked! LOL! I have made several comfort dolls, a kitty and am now working on the socks with bubbles. I have started a binder for the printed patterns that I have purchased on your website. God Bless, keep up the wonderful work.
These always looked so difficult from just looking at them. Thank you so much for showing how easy they really are. Now I can cover all of my various hooks and be more comfortable as I work. Old hands need all the help they can get. :)
I got a bag of them from the thrift store but you can get them at lots of places... Walmart, dollar stores, anywhere that sells Rainbow Looms. These are the little rubber bands used for those.
I made one for each of my looming hooks. As I made the first one I wasn’t sure I’d like it. Shouldn’t have worried. This cover really does make the looming process much more comfortable!
We recently introduced a relative to loom knitting and one of our instructions was to watch all of the videos produced by Loom A Hat!!! Your videos are tops for all whether new, intermediate or advanced. You are a great teacher. Many thanks.
Thank you so much for this video. This is genius! I was getting some pain in my thumb from loom knitting (probably arthritis, since I'm no spring chicken). I saw this video, grabbed some left over rubber bands and a straight loom, made one of these, and put it on my pick and tried it out, and noticed the difference right away! Thumb felt instant relief! I could hardly believe it! I love your patterns and your web site! All your instructions are so well thought out and clear.
Hi Denise, I'm so glad I found you! I've watched several of your videos and I really appreciate the quality of your tutorials. The instructions are clear, the sound and lighting are consistently good quality. I love that you don't "fiddle" with your work while you're explaining or talking about it and that you're not waving your hands about extraneously. Thank you with deep gratitude and very well done. 😊
Just discovered your web site. Having to switch to loom knitting because my hands can't handle tatting or counted cross stitch any more. The small size of the hook limited the time I could spend so this is perfect. Thank you for all your videos. Usually I hate videos but yours are great. You have such a nice voice!
I'm sure glad I ran across this video my rubber bands were starting to slide off. Hopefully this will keep them on longer... thank you for sharing.... I ❤U
Hi, I have used the proper 6 hooks as shown and now my grandchild has asked that I do his pen and pencils too. I just love it. Cant stop buying bands !!!!!
Thank you, Denise. I didn't have a rectangle loom, just round ones, but I used 6 pegs on the Loom that came with my pack of Rainbow Loom rubber bands. I just took the attachments off so I could loom in a corner with 6 pegs.
Oh, I am so happy! My grip came out colorful and perfect! Thank you! I know this will help my neuraphaty in my three finger of my loom and crochet hand! 💙🧡💚❤️💜💛💗👳♀️
Omg.....what a relief!! I tend to grip my yarn hook and crochet hook so tight that I now have a huge callous on my finger. I just finished the rubber band grip and tried it on my loom. It's a life saver. Thanks for the video. Your instructions were super easy..... Keep looming!!
I have made several hats, a pair of boot cuffs, eternity scarf and a regular scarf based on your super awesome instructions. You are a wonderful and talented instructor with an amazing gift. Thank you for sharing your good works; your rock! I purchased a bag of various sized rubber bands from the Dollar Tree and used the smallest varieties (not consistent) to complete this project by alternating the rounds by tension. It is awesome!
super easy and can't believe how fast it went after I got started! you really explained it very well, and clearly. great tutorial, already made my first knit pick grip, now to make more!!! thanks!!
Denise, thank you very much for sharing this with us! I'm 22 and have arthritis in my fingers, but I love knitting. This grip has made everything so much easier!
+Holly Golightly 513 THANK YOU Holly for letting me know that I could help. I just responded to a comment that made me sooooooo angry I think God put this one in to undo the Mad with some Glad. You Have Blessed Me Loomy - BIG HUGS and be well.
Well, I just finished my first grip, AWESOME... I have never loomed what so ever, I'm going to go and buy bigger looms. Thank you for your awesome video. Love looming, can't stop, won't stop. Have a great day....
Cheryl Canada Hey Cheryl - When you get your loom head over to the website for a list of OVER 1 HUNDRED Free loom knit patterns: www.loomahat.com/round-loom/
This was super easy now I know why the kids love the rainbow loom! I bought the mini loom to make it and it worked well...even though the peg space was a little small.
Denise, I loved this video tutorial! I made a purple and turquoise grip for my loom knitting hook. I just started loom knitting about 3 weeks ago. I love it! I have made several hats. I tried to make the garter stitch placemat, but it became a hot mess, so I threw it out. Lol I will continue to look for inspiration in your videos. Thank you so much.
,Thank You Soooo much for showing me how to make my grip for my hooks!!! You are a great teacher and went slow so I could see every step! Now, my fingers shouldn't ache so much knitting for long periods. God Bless from Tx! 😄😁😊💖
I would like to thank you sooooo much for your patience and admiration in providing us with Loomahat 😊 Just made my first Grip for my loom hook and love it !!!! Have basically started over in my Looming ( a year and a half ago) so I am in the process of learning all over again. I have so many plans and excitement in starting again. ( empty nest and husband works a lot) lol
Incredibly clever and functional,I have noticed after a few hours on the loom these old hands are stiff in the morning this is a godsend ,I saw this tool in your last video tonight and thought to myself l need one of those where did she get that! Thankyou again for sharing your functional beautiful works!
THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU SAID I ENJOY YOUR WORK YOU MAKE IT LOOK SO EASY AND I DO STILL MAKE A LOT OF MISTAKES BUT YOU ARE SO CLEVER BUT I WILL KEEP TRYING.THE ONLY THING I DID GET RIGHT WAS MAKING THE GRIP FOR ALL MY TOOLS THEY ARE GREAT THANK YOU CAROL IN LONDON.
Omgosh. I'm sitting here almost not breathing. So awesome. I have issues with my hands. I'm going to do this for all of my instruments. And I have many. A few at a time,,, but THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS WITH ME.
I am so excited, I saw one of these last week and really wanted one. Now all I have to do is get some rubber bands. Thanks for teaching me how to do it.
One of my grips had the back end piece just poke through by putting pressure on the bent end and it poked right through the bottom of the tool. I love the way you explain not only what you're doing, but why! Thanks so much!
i really enjoyed this video. I cant wait to do my own grip. I got a little confused with how to do it with the round loom, that's what I have, but I think I can do it. I really like how clear you sound and that you go slow explaining. Thank you!!!
I finally sat down to work on making a grip for my loom knitting tool. Originally, I bought the loom set from Walmart. Big mistake. Since I don't have a long loom I decided to use the suggestion from Denise to use two round looms. Well, the Walmart looms are not the same gauge at all to what Denise is using here. Not even close. So I am having to modify the pattern from what Denise showed. Denise, you are so easy to follow and I am very thankful for that. I am seeing the grip take shape but using the two looms together is much harder, I am sure. Thanks for sharing this, Denise! P.S.: I have since bought some better looms that I really love and work with on a regular basis. I decided to use the looms from Walmart because they just sit around and collect dust. Well, now I understand why. LOL Thanks again, Denise! :)
Hi Janet - I'll tell you that those looms are the only ones I don't recommend. th-cam.com/video/xtHXQVoPcKk/w-d-xo.html ... and btw - Thanks for the Thanks I really appreciate it !
I made a few of these on the Rainbow loom when they first came out. I made them specifically for my steel crochet hooks because they are so thin they actually hurt my hand to use. I am seriously thinking of making more for my other sized hooks and the loom tool. Thanks for showing us we can use any loom!
thank you so much for this video. I have been using pencil grips and it's not as effective. I also think it will be awesome for both my kids' pencils since they are still little. I love all your videos and truly appreciate them❤
I was so pleased to find this tutorial. I have rheumatoid arthritis and loom knit as I am able. These grips make holding the loom tools so much more comfortable for me. Thank you so much...I have covered two loom tools and a crochet hook! 😍
I can’t thank you enough for this video! Being disabled it truly becomes uncomfortable after a little while of loom knitting, crocheting and being my favorite relaxing hobbies this wonderful idea will help so much!! The moment I watched it I made my first one as you went along! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!💜💜💜
My loom hook doesn't look as good as yours but it's not bad for a first try. I only had 68 rubber bands. Note to self use lots and lots of rubber bands. This is pretty comfortable. So much better than the hard plastic hook by itself. Thank you for posting this.
LOVE this idea/project. I was so glad to learn that I could use my round looms. I've made several of these already. I found packs of bands (750) at the Dollar Store in my area. I love how much nicer these feel in your hand. Thank you sooooo much for such clear and easy instructions.
Thank you so much for all your instructions.I have found you are the easiest to understand. Thanks again. I will be watching all your videos as I learn more and more on loom knitting.
Cheyenne Linson So glad my video was helpful - Your mom is going to love it - I love EVERYthing my kids make for me - and this has been awesome for me makes the grip thicker and grip-pier (don't know if that's a real word :) Hugs, denise
Thank you so much ...Im new to all of this loom knitting n watching ur videos has helped me in so many ways.. Im finally doing something that makes me happy and actually finishing them...this grip cover is soooo good n I also did the cat kitty doll..absolutely wonderful...again thanks so much.. :)
Thank you so much for this video! Thank you for all of them, really. All I used to be able to make was hats with my looms; thanks to you I'm branching out into all kinds of wonderful things! Your videos are always so clear and you have a nice, peaceful voice too, which makes watching them a pleasure. Thanks again for saving my hands!
Dear Denise, I am new to loom knitting and while I was waiting for my set of looms to arrive I decided to explore TH-cam where I found your website. You are such an excellent teacher and have provided me with all the information I was looking for. The new looms arrived today and I can't wait to get going but first I wanted to thank you for all the inspiration you have given me. As I have arthritis in my hands I shall be visiting the toy shop to find some loom bands to make a comfy grip for my hook. Have a very Happy New Year, Carol UK
Was going to buy a rainbow loom not realizing I can use my Knitting loom. Just need those elastics. Love your channel, have subscribed and joined. (going to up my subscription) The best teacher ever.
Wow! I was just talking with my husband about wishing loom hooks had soft squeeze holders. And here you did it! Thank you, thank you, thank you. Love watching your channel ! 💚😀😀
Brand new to loom knitting. Came across the video on how to make the hat (which I'm making now). I saw the pretty hook and wanted to do one for myself as I have hands that are a bit arthritic. So glad you thought to make this video. Am going to look for the rubber bands when I go to the craft store. I like your videos. I think they're well photograph and I can see very clearly what you do with the loom. If I can figure out how to do it; I'll send you a picture of the hat when it's finished.
I love your videos and I love the way you came up with cool grip because I was doing you doll and it hurt the inside of my hand so I hope now it will be good on my hand and if so I will make more . So thank you for coming up with the grip . Look forword to make more of you things .
+Liz Feick It's one of my favorite projects - I use this EVERYDAY - Super practical for adults and kids - plus fun to make . Happy to share it with you guys. Big Hugs Liz !
my granny has rheumatoid arthritis and had to stop her hobby of crochet because her fingers had gone a bit twisted and stiff. I used a hot glue gun to attach a slim foam tube to a crochet hook (I cut a section out of a foam lagging foam tube for water heaters to reduce its diameter). I copied what you did with the rubber bands and hey presto.... she is back with her yarn and happily making us stuff such as coasters and doilies (which we don't actually like but she is as happy a pig in a mud bath while she keeps on creating stuff!). :-)
Michael Seddon Michael - you have given me a big dose of the giggles - Thank you my friend. I'm glad I was a part of helping granny be happy. You have a treasure. Keep her well - I no longer have mine and I miss her terribly. denise
Wow gotta try this!! ty for the tutorial!! I always wanted to try making grips with polymer clay but never did...this here with the rubber bands my grandkids outgrew will do the job perfectly!! tysm u made my day!! Keep up the good work!! Merci!!

Great idea! 4 pegs for smaller hooks.
Thank you for this idea! I'm going to have to raid my daughters' loom band stash.
Hey - you have to do what you have to do - good luck - remember to come back with the war stories :)
Great idea! As I get older, I am always looking for easy ways to help with working with my crafts! Thank you

I am seriously thinking of making more for my other sized hooks and the loom tool. Thanks for showing us we can use any loom!
lisamr40 You are VERY welcome ... Thank YOU for the Thanks !
Just finished my grip and I love it. thank you so much for your tutorials. I have learned a lot so far from you.

Thank you Elizabeth - I truly appreciate your kind words. Glad the vid works for you and even better for the kiddos !
Simply wonderful!In His Grace, Elle

I was so pleased to find this tutorial. I have rheumatoid arthritis and loom knit as I am able. These grips make holding the loom tools so much more comfortable for me. Thank you so much...I have covered two loom tools and a crochet hook! 😍
Marvelous!! Have seen others with this..and to me it better then spending $40 for loom hook which I think is hard !! Thank u for this!
Thats really cool. I have arthritis and this will help. Thanks 😊

Thank you for the Thank you Sher - VERY much appreciated. I don't know about the Goddess but sure sounds sweat :)
Terrific, just what I needed to cover my loom hook, very comfortable too.
+Favs forme Glad I could help !
I can’t thank you enough for this video! Being disabled it truly becomes uncomfortable after a little while of loom knitting, crocheting and being my favorite relaxing hobbies this wonderful idea will help so much!! The moment I watched it I made my first one as you went along! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!💜💜💜
Freya - thank YOU for the positive feedback 💛
Thank You! I just made 2 on my loom hooks. I am very excited to try them.
My loom hook doesn't look as good as yours but it's not bad for a first try. I only had 68 rubber bands. Note to self use lots and lots of rubber bands. This is pretty comfortable. So much better than the hard plastic hook by itself. Thank you for posting this.
Excellent instructions! You made it so easy to follow. Thank you
Thank YOU for the Thank you Sandi , I really appreciate it !
Very easy and i love the difference. Thank you!
LOVE this idea/project. I was so glad to learn that I could use my round looms. I've made several of these already. I found packs of bands (750) at the Dollar Store in my area. I love how much nicer these feel in your hand. Thank you sooooo much for such clear and easy instructions.
Thanks for the Dollar Tree tip. I'm on a really strict budget so this excited me greatly ☺
Thank you so much for all your instructions.I have found you are the easiest to understand. Thanks again. I will be watching all your videos as I learn more and more on loom knitting.
Thank YOU for the Thank you Laura , I really appreciate it !
My mom has been wanting a grip and now I know how to make one thank you for this tutorial. :)
Cheyenne Linson So glad my video was helpful - Your mom is going to love it - I love EVERYthing my kids make for me - and this has been awesome for me makes the grip thicker and grip-pier (don't know if that's a real word :)
Hugs,
denise

Your videos are always so clear and you have a nice, peaceful voice too, which makes watching them a pleasure. Thanks again for saving my hands!

Thank you - thank you for the Thank you Beverly - Very much appreciated !
Dear Denise, I am new to loom knitting and while I was waiting for my set of looms to arrive I decided to explore TH-cam where I found your website. You are such an excellent teacher and have provided me with all the information I was looking for. The new looms arrived today and I can't wait to get going but first I wanted to thank you for all the inspiration you have given me. As I have arthritis in my hands I shall be visiting the toy shop to find some loom bands to make a comfy grip for my hook.
Have a very Happy New Year, Carol UK
Thanks for all the sharings. More Blessings.
Was going to buy a rainbow loom not realizing I can use my Knitting loom. Just need those elastics. Love your channel, have subscribed and joined. (going to up my subscription) The best teacher ever.
Wow! I was just talking with my husband about wishing loom hooks had soft squeeze holders. And here you did it! Thank you, thank you, thank you. Love watching your channel ! 💚😀😀
Just made this! So exciting, it turned out great
Brand new to loom knitting. Came across the video on how to make the hat (which I'm making now). I saw the pretty hook and wanted to do one for myself as I have hands that are a bit arthritic. So glad you thought to make this video. Am going to look for the rubber bands when I go to the craft store. I like your videos. I think they're well photograph and I can see very clearly what you do with the loom. If I can figure out how to do it; I'll send you a picture of the hat when it's finished.
Nancy Knoblich Thank you Nancy ! - I LOVE pictures :)
Thanks so much for the video! I can't wait to show my Great Niece's how to change up their loom tools. 😄
I have admired your hooks for so long as I have arthritis, now I can make my own. Thank you so much for your tutorial.
You are VERY welcome Beejay. This is one of my favorite projects - so cool and practical.
I love your videos and I love the way you came up with cool grip because I was doing you doll and it hurt the inside of my hand so I hope now it will be good on my hand and if so I will make more . So thank you for coming up with the grip . Look forword to make more of you things .

Great video!!! Thanks so much for sharing this!!!
Thanks for the Thanks !
I love it.
I love your video it has help me loom knitting all different things.
my granny has rheumatoid arthritis and had to stop her hobby of crochet because her fingers had gone a bit twisted and stiff. I used a hot glue gun to attach a slim foam tube to a crochet hook (I cut a section out of a foam lagging foam tube for water heaters to reduce its diameter). I copied what you did with the rubber bands and hey presto.... she is back with her yarn and happily making us stuff such as coasters and doilies (which we don't actually like but she is as happy a pig in a mud bath while she keeps on creating stuff!). :-)
Michael Seddon Michael - you have given me a big dose of the giggles - Thank you my friend. I'm glad I was a part of helping granny be happy. You have a treasure. Keep her well - I no longer have mine and I miss her terribly.
