:D Thank you! I've been looking for this type of looming for a long time now. This was the first type I learned as a kid and no one in my family could remember it, as they didn't take up the hobby, not even my grandma sadly due to her age what I was talking about. I'm so excited to do this project once I get everything set up. :D Thank you!
I saved this video to watch this morning because the thumbnail fascinated the bejeezus out of me. Now I just have to make a loom from your other video and raid my yarn collection and off I go. Thank you and thank Ross for his background work. Inspiring to say the least
That is awesome! What I love about your ideas is that you don't have to go out and buy all the special equipment etc. You even have a video on how we make all the tools and equipment and it's always really easy. It also gives me ideas of what other materials I could use other than wool. Thank you for your enthusiasm and inspiration it is much appreciated here from Spain :)
Oh dear another good one that I want to do. I’m loving all your ideas. Great idea with the coat hanger which I’m going to do. All these gadgets that I want to enable me to make all these items. So thanks for another good idea
@@DIYOnTheHouse once you start watching Noreen.. Your addicted to her art!... She has many books too..in which I own...lol. ... Thank you also for your excellent inspiring videos!
I am so sorry that I didn't include that in the video! I apologize - I don't have my notes of how much that blanket took me - I believe it was approximately 5 colors, one skein each.
A great tutorial! I have one suggestion on the coat hanger hook. I understand your husband made the hook. It seems he skipped a process when explaining to you^^. To make the hook sturdier, you have to pound on the hook with a mallet. If you don't have a mallet, wrap it in a towel and hit it with the hammer. Then, you will get a nice sturdy hook. Make sure you do not mar the hook.
What a great idea, and such a clear and helpful tutorial! I’m curious about how much a woven square “shrinks” when taken off the loom; I’d like to weave some blanket sections instead of crochet them but I don’t want my measurements to go wonky. Thanks!
For my weaving hook I like to use a Tunisian crochet hook or an upholstery needle since both of them are extra long. I bend the upholstery needle end to make the hook and then file the end so it doesn't poke me but it works great. The Tunisian crochet hook already has the hook side and if you get a straight set you can just use the size you need for the yarn you're using. Thanks for sharing. It's beautiful 😍❤💕💖
That's what I thought as well.. I was all stoked to wreck a coat hanger for following your tutorial and then I though, wait a minute... won't a Tunisian hook do the trick as well? And I have a stash of those... So now peace and tranquility has returned to the coat hanger community as they don't have to supply a volunteer 😉🤣 Greetings from the Netherlands!
This is so amazing and I am sorry I have found this video after I started a similar project. I have made my pieces for a quilt on my square loom but I have already woven my tails into the individual pieces (as per the project video i was following). Now that I see I should have kept my tails but have none, is there a way I can still knit all my squares together?
This is fascinating! Question about the ends you're weaving in at the inside corners. They're just snipped off? They won't come undone over time/use? I'm imagining a squares starting to come loose and falling off!
This is awesome! Do you think I could make a potholder with cotton yarn using this method? I wonder if it would be thick enough to not burn my hands. If so what type if yarn should I use?
This reminds me of the pot holders we used to make as a kid which makes me wonder why you have to slip stitch all the way around the sides instead of just looping one loop through the one next to it....Is it possible? LOL I'm curious... such a cute blanket!!!
@@DIYOnTheHouse Oh, ok...yes, that makes sense...thanks for all your weaving tuts!! I'm planning on making a round rug not sure I'm up to weaving one though..Maybe just braided like the one you have a tutorial on...
I've never tried this so I was curious. Couldn't you make a bigger loom and just do one big rectangular or square blanket and switch out the colors instead of smaller pieces?
okay so i built a weaving pin loom 18by 18 out of PVC pipe and used screws every half inch..... i use a chunky yarn and an afghan hook to pull the yarn thru.... it works and my blocks are about 16 inches square depending on the yarn used..... okay now i did try it by making cotton material balls about 1 inch wide cuts folded in half and wound real tight..... that projects came out all right but the material did start to fray.... something i can not stand when weaving....and it took about 4 yards of material per block... that was a lot of cutting joining and folding.... trying to get those balls rolled tight was a joke until i used a pin to secure thee material so it did not roll apart.... i was thinking half inch binding tape? might look great, but a bit pricey
I love reading your journey! That is my favorite part of crafting, testing out different stuff!! I bet you could find binding tape at the thrift store. I have seen boxes of it at our store over the years. If you try it, I would love to see pictures! Maybe email me if you want diyonthehouse@gmail.com. Good luck!!
Great tutorial!! Thank you so much for this! Too many DIY'ers fail to give the FULL how-to and don't show how something is started or finished off.... "Keep doing this until you go all the way around" and cut to finished product!... "Wait! Did I just miss something? *Rewinds twice* How does it end?" 🤯Tutorials should not have cliff hangers. 🤦♀

You can also just join your loops together with your crochet hook for joining your squares. That would look good too.
That's a great idea! Such a fun project!

From Spain?! I love it!! Thank you for your words of encouragement, I truly appreciate that! Enjoy your project!
@@DIYOnTheHouse Thanks and you're welcome.
:)
Nicely demonstrated and explained; even attaching the squares and finishing. :)
Thanks!
I love this blanket.I want to make one.Thanks very much.
You’re welcome 😊
The baby blanket is beautiful. I must try this fascinating technique.
Go for it! It is one of my new favorites!
This is a great idea, stay blessed.
Thank you! You too!
Great idea
Glad you think so!
I was looking for a join in a different looking project wwith a more chunky but this one looks beautiful. Will do when I get some nice baby yarn
Awesome! Thank you! Have fun with your project!!
This is a great idea! Please do one for regular Wight yarn for an afghan for an adult.
I know! Wouldn't that be cool! It is on my list!
absolutely great idea!!!
Thank you! 😊
Omg this is genius! Okay, I have GOT to try this!
It is so fun!
Wow thank you. Fab idea.

Thank you! 😊
I love your channel!
Thank you so much!
Very Very pretty. Can you tell me how many skeins of yarn it took you please.
I am so sorry that I didn't include that in the video! I apologize - I don't have my notes of how much that blanket took me - I believe it was approximately 5 colors, one skein each.

Great question!! I just went and measured -- the nails on my loom measure 8" -- the squares measure 7". Hope that helps!
Thank you!
Totally love this! Would this be good for pot holders if I make 2 to make it thicker?
Yes, definitely! Use cotton thread - and they would be adorable!
@@DIYOnTheHouse thank you so much! Love your weaving projects! 🥰

That is fantastic! I just looked, and my Mom had some of these hooks in her stash, I will definitely try that on the next one. Thanks!

Greetings from the Netherlands!
I 'thought' is what I wanted to type, but rushing it made it though, though 😉🤔
@@Pouquiloury Have fun!!!
Great tutorial thanks! Definitely gonna subscribe. :)
Awesome, thank you!
2 years later in 2022 I’m here using this video to learn a new hobby! Thank you so much, I’m so excited to learn✨💛
I'm so glad! It is so fun - hope you enjoy!
Could you end the square like you would a potholder?
Yes!! That would work!
So nice 👏👍 Thanks🌹
Thank you! Cheers!
This is so amazing and I am sorry I have found this video after I started a similar project.

Now that I see I should have kept my tails but have none, is there a way I can still knit all my squares together?
Sorry for the delay in replying - I was out of town. You can still attach them together by using a new piece - you will be fine!
This is fascinating! Question about the ends you're weaving in at the inside corners. They're just snipped off? They won't come undone over time/use? I'm imagining a squares starting to come loose and falling off!
I feed back all of my ends, usually a couple of inches, and reverse and feed them back in the opposite direction. It seems pretty secure!
Bravoooo
Thank you!
This is awesome! Do you think I could make a potholder with cotton yarn using this method? I wonder if it would be thick enough to not burn my hands. If so what type if yarn should I use?
It would be great - use cotton thick yarn, usually it is call Sugars and Cream brand, or something like that! Great idea!!
Very very interesting ~💝 it!
Thank you very much!
What kind of yarn do you use and where can I get it … By the way your blanket is beautiful
That blanket used baby weight yarn that I found at Hobby Lobby. Any baby weight yarn will work well!
Can I use this weaving method with a Kayu weaving board?
Hmm - I am not familiar with a Kayu board. What are those like?
Расскажите, пожалуйста, как рассчитать расстояние между гвоздиками? Как это расстояние зависит от толщины пряжи?
You leave without border ,or you add a border ?
A border would look great on the blanket!!
This reminds me of the pot holders we used to make as a kid which makes me wonder why you have to slip stitch all the way around the sides instead of just looping one loop through the one next to it....Is it possible? LOL I'm curious... such a cute blanket!!!
I found it didn't lay as flat, maybe because the yarn doesn't stretch like the pieces we used as a kid??
@@DIYOnTheHouse Oh, ok...yes, that makes sense...thanks for all your weaving tuts!! I'm planning on making a round rug not sure I'm up to weaving one though..Maybe just braided like the one you have a tutorial on...
😍 Thank you love this 😍
I'm glad you like it!! Totally fun to make!
I've never tried this so I was curious. Couldn't you make a bigger loom and just do one big rectangular or square blanket and switch out the colors instead of smaller pieces?
Yes! I have taken picture frames and made larger ones! If you make one, I would love to see pictures - diyonthehouse@gmail.com

Yo I was here.
Tunisian hook
😄
Could you do the crochet parts a little slower? I thought i had it but then you went quicker so i fidnt get it , thank.you x
Thanks for the suggestion - I will remember that next time! If you select the 3 dots on the video player, you can watch in slow motion as well.
Great tutorial!! Thank you so much for this!

😍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😘
Thank you!
Couldn’t you crochet an edge?
Of course! That would look fantastic!
