Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. I just started learning how to loom knit last year and have done hats, scarves etc but really wanted to up my skills. This will definitely help me to be able to take my work to the next level. Great job!
Your welcome!! And Thank you for your kind words. I so appreciate it! ❤🥰
This is very helpful for a beginner like me. Thank you so much! ❤
Your welcome! 🥰
Super Idee mit dem Anfang 😊
Thank you!
I’ve been loom knitting a few years and faking my way with corners (the blankets still looked nice) but this is the first video that explained it perfectly. Now my blankets will be great. Thank you!!
I’m so glad you found my video and that it helped you! That makes it so worth making the video! Be sure to share it with anyone you know! Please subscribe! Thank you for letting me know! 🥰❤
Thank you so much!! This has been a tremendous help! I’m hoping to make a baby blanket and o love the finished edges.
Your Welcome! Have fun! ❤
U r an awesome teacher. I've learned a lot on this video. Thank you❤😂
Your so welcome! Thanks for letting me know… I appreciate your kind words! ❤
Best cast on EVER!!!! Your video is awesome. Thank you so much!
@@Partlycloudy70degrees Thank you!
@@lschue I just finished my first sample using all the techniques in this video & I love the results. Thank you for this amazingly easy-to-follow video & great techniques.
@@Partlycloudy70degrees That’s great!!! I’m so happy for you!
I really appreciate you doing this video. It was very helpful.
Thank you for letting me know! I appreciate that. Have a great day! ❤🥰
What a great video! Learned several new techniques! Thank you! 😁
This made the chain cast on so much easier
Thank you so much! Please pass that along whenever you can!! I appreciate it! ❤
I am new and making my first blanket. Helpful!
Thank you! Have fun!! 🥰
Thank you so much for making this video and sharing the way you set up the written pattern. I am new to looming and I would like to use this for a plain rectangle Shaw. I am Using a 60 peg long loom. Would that work? Also Wondering how to figure out an approximate amount of yarn needed. You are an amazing teacher !
I would be glad to help you… can you message me on Messenger? It would be alot easier to help you there. Search my name Laurie Schue
This is by far the best tutorial for the garter stitch border! I was about to give up and throw the loom away! I'm glad I gave it one more try before I gave up completely. I can knit, crochet, and quilt, but loom knitting was kicking my backside hard! My side borders were bowing like they were too short for the body of the afghan. I have the KB S loom. Thank you!
Thank you sooo much!!! I appreciate hearing this! I am so glad you didn’t give up. I have lots of patterns that you can use on the KB sloom.. Send me a DM and I will send you one! Thanks again! 🥰❤
I love how you had it written out. I’m new to this and made some scarves, cowls, and hats and find that sometimes tracking progress on paper is helpful for me.
Welcome to Looming! I always use good old fashion paper and pen when I’m looming. No fancy row counters or gadgets needed! 😃 As your name implies…do you do Diamond Painting by any chance?
@@lschue yup! I do diamond art as well! 💎
@@Diamondartandcrafts I love Diamond Painting.. I just started this year and I’m on my 5th painting now! So relaxing!
What a great video. I don't like the regular cast off. I fairly new to thus and will be doing a blanket very soon. Thank you for you time.
Thank you!! Please share with any other loomers you know! Have a great day! 😀
Best video I’ve found for the garter stitch border instructions. Now I feel confident to try this!
Thank you so much!! I really wanted to show just how easy it is…. or will be 😃! Once you do a few rows… it will become very easy!
This video is by far the best, I have watched so many videos but your instructions were so understandable and answered all of my questions… Thank You so much 😊
Thank you ao much!!
I’m just having a hard time with my tension, I seem to be doing it to tight and I feel I’m not but by the time I get to the first E-wrap row it’s so tight 😏
Great instructions!
Thank you!
Great video. Thank you.
Your welcome! Have a great day! 🥰
sehr gut erklärt danke schön
Thank you!
Hello I just wanted to thank you for your video and for sharing the knowledge you have on loom knitting and this beautiful garter stitch boarder. I am very new beginner at loom knitting and I really enjoy it but finding videos that have someone who really understands the stitches, how to use them, takes their time to explain every detail like you have, well there are not many so it was a pleasant surprise to find your video I have absolutely learned so much from your one video and over the last few weeks I have watched a dozen or so and have been piecing information together. Your work is beautiful and I will be using this board to make my very first big blanket for my son. Thanks again
Thank you so much!!!! ❤🥰 I try to do videos and give as much information as I can without it becoming to confusing! I am so glad to hear that it helps people! Thanks again!
Ty for taking the time and patience in teaching us.
Your welcome! 🥰❤
Very beautiful gorgeous work I ❤️ it
Thank you! Happy New Year!
@@lschue you're welcome happy New year
I like your video very much! I'm excited to try this
Thank you! Any questions you can always message me, I will help if I can! 🥰
Beautiful work. Thanks for sharing. 😊
Thank you so much!! ❤
Fabulous video! Thanks so much for taking the time to teach this so clearly. You are delightful!
Thank you so much… Please feel free to share it with anyone you know who may be thinking of looming a blanket!! 🥰❤
Would this work on the KB Afghan loom?
I was wandering the same thing? I have a KB Afghan loom as well and I’m hoping this would work for that loom as well.
Just what I was looking for! 😊thank you so much! I can’t wait for your next project ❤
Your welcome! So glad you found this video! 🥰❤
help, what is the pattern for the last peg on each side. I can never remember what to do at the end of the row!
Always skip the first peg in every row and ewrap the last peg in each row. Even if your row is all purls… skip the first peg and ewrap the last peg!
Ms.Laurie, what loom do you recommend as an all purpose loom? I see that you're working on a pretty large Cindwood loom. Is that what you use generally? What size is it?
I love the large round loom I’m using. It makes Throw blankets 50” wide by as long as you want them. I can even just use less pegs for baby blankets on the same loom. This loom is 7/16” gauge and uses 1 strand of #4 yarn. You can also use a #5 yarn if you want a heavier blanket. I prop one end on my lap and the other end on my foot stool and its very easy to use. If you send me a message thru messenger I can send you a video of how that looks. If you want the loom it is available here www.cindwoodlooms.com/products/preorder-7-16-160-peg-xl-22-round-afghan-loom?_pos=1&_sid=2d704b617&_ss=r&ghref=4861%3A640412
Ms. LAURIE, I apologize but there are several on messenger and I don't want to hit the wrong one. I read post about an "orange cup" was that you?
OMG!!! I went to Cindwood, and they had YOUR loom with 3 of YOUR patterns for less than just the loom. Don't you know that I jumped right on that!! Now I am excited. A loom I can work on and patterns from an expert loomer. Thank you so much for your help and I look forward to many beautiful blankets.

@@patriciacurrie7613 Make sure you spell my name correctly. Laurie Schue. I am in a green shirt…
This was very well explained, thank you. I’ve had KB looms for many years and I’ve barely made anything other than a couple scarfs, and not really happy with the results.they were all double knit, is that why they haven’t curled? I saw on Facebook someone’s blanket that impressed me to want to make a lap/throw blanket and was referred to your garter stitch video. So I will try this stitch on my smaller loom for practice and with determination and this video, am confident it will work. Practice makes perfect. Again thank you
Thank you! I am glad you found this video. I love borders on my blankets. Borders just give it such a finished look. It is easier to do while your making the blanket then trying to put on a border once it is finished. I am so glad to hear that you will practice it first.. however, I have no doubt that you can do this!! Have fun!!
I just finished my first sample and it came out very good. Your video was a major help , thank you. I’d send a picture but don’t know how
@@steveroberts9053 I am so glad the video was helpful! Thank you!
I've never made a loom blanket but your instructions are very clear. Could i asking dumb? Would these methods work on an S blanket loom? Ive just got one
Yes these directions will work on any loom. Just choose the right yarn for the gauge loom you are using. And of course the bigger the loom the bigger blanket you can make. What brand name is your s-loom?
@@lschue it's the Serenity S loom.
@@MeSillyWoohoo Yes You can use the Serenity Loom! Feel free to message me if you need more advice!
Thank you for this teaching, I not long bought a shape 8 loom. May I please ask where you bought you rubber rings please ? ❤🎉
I like these the best although I have also purchased some from Amazon as well. Didn’t like the colors as much. These are my favorite knittingboard.com/silicone-rubber-stitch-markers-240-pack/
Great video and tutorial. What is the gauge and size loom that you're using?
It Is a CinDwood 7/16” gauge 160 Peg Loom. It is my absolute favorite to make blankets with #4 yarn. www.cindwoodlooms.com/products/preorder-7-16-160-peg-xl-22-round-afghan-loom?variant=41022273388699&ghref=4861%3A640412
Thank you so much!
do you have any videos for a 10 stitch blanket? Please !!!
Can you do the 8 rows border and then do stockinette?
Yes you can. The Stockinette stitch on a loom is any knit stitch. Like Uknit, or true knit. The ewrap is a twisted stockinette stitch.
I might have missed it. What do I do with my slipknot that I used at the start?
You can take it off after about 2 rows. When you finish your project you will weave in your yarn tails.
Can I do a garter ridge border and owl eye in the middle? If so, would I skip the turning pegs when doing owl eye?
If your doing a Garter Border you still need the turning pegs. After you do your border, do a uknit on the next peg.. then start doing your owl eye stitch. Then on the other end after you knit off your last owl eye stitch do a uk on the last peg before the border, then finish your border. Why? Because owl eye is really 2 knit offs on each peg. So to keep everything even and in shape you need to do the uk before and after. If you need farther instructions please DM me anytime. Thank you!
This pattern is for my owl eye stripes blanket. I put some ewrap striping in it to give some more fancier detail.. if your interested. You can basically use any loom with appropriate size yarn. www.cindwoodlooms.com/collections/laurie-schue-patterns/products/loom-knit-epattern-afghan-owl-eye-stripes
@lschue thank you so much! Your pattern is beautiful!! I can't wait to make it! Thank you for a quick response as well!!
I love this. I am going to do my first blanket like this one. can you tell the loom gauge and how many pegs please for a good size blanket? maybe 50" width. Thank you so much
What weight of yarn will you be using?
@@lschue dk weight
thinking of lionbrand mandala ombre which is #4. I am so glad that I found you. Thanks for helping.
@@1956LA I highly recommend a 7/16” gauge loom. The one I am using in this video is 7/16” with 160 pegs. It is a CinDwood.. high quality loom. www.cindwoodlooms.com/products/preorder-7-16-160-peg-xl-22-round-afghan-loom?variant=41022273388699
This CinDwood loom will make 50” wide with #4 yarn.
I'm going to be starting my second blanket and thinking of doing a garter stitch all the way thru..want something easy . So my question is do you think I should do the e-wrap version or the u-wrap version on my garter stitch? Which do you think would look better? I know the e-wrap would finish my blanket faster...
I'm using a small guage #4 yarn. 🙏🌹😁
I always use the ewrap version in my borders.. I just think it looks better! 🧶
You do such beautiful work! I’m looking for a loom knit pattern for a toaster cover. Can’t seem to find one. If anyone knows of one please let me know. Thanks 🧶💕💕
I am sure that would be able to be done. I was thinking that if you make it alittle like the cross video except wider and longer of course… you could then fold it and sew it into a squarish shape. But that video will show you how to increase and decrease. Just an idea.
Is it possible to use the quick garter stitch for the borders?
You can for the bottom and top borders but you cannot do it for the side borders.
@@lschue Thank you so much! You have been such a great help to me in learning to loom knit! Your videos are so helpful.
@@southernrose48 Your Welcome! Thanks for the kind words!
Where is the owl eye stripe pattern u posted awhile back@laurie shue
www.cindwoodlooms.com/collections/laurie-schue-patterns/products/loom-knit-epattern-afghan-owl-eye-stripes
If I have a I think I'm saying this right A 7 garter Stitch side of the blanket how many rows will I do for the top in the bottom of the blankets
If your using 7 and 1of them is a turning peg then you would use 12 rows (6 garter ridges)
If your using 8 pegs and 7 pegs are for garter stitch border then you need 14 rows (7 garter ridges)
How do you know how many rows and stitches to do? For example you did 4 garter rows and 4 purl stitches to create the side border. Is that number the same regardless of the size of the piece?
Almost all my blankets, regardless of size or yarn used, I use 5 pegs on each side. 1 for turning and 4 peg border. Then my starting garter is 8 rows (4 garter ridges) and my ending border is 8 rows (4 garter ridges). Just like I did in this video. For smaller things like table runners and scarves I sometimes just use 4 pegs which is 1 peg for turning and 3 pegs for border.
If you want wider borders just remember to use my formula for how many garter rows to do to keep the border even all the way around.
Can you do the cast on with 2 strands of yarn. Im new to looming and I'm making a blanket on the martha Stewart loom.
Yes. You can use 2 strands of yarn, no problem!
@@lschue thank you. I appreciate it.
Can you share a link to the markers at Amazon or wherever you got yours?
Are they different sizes?

@@janetmenchyk9778 The Amazon ones are all the same size in the package… The Knitting Board ones are 2 different sizes. The small ones fit small gauge looms like sock looms.. the larger ones fits the others.
Where did you get your loom?

What is this cast on stitch called?
It is called a “Chain Cast On”
I'm making a large blanket so should I do 4 or 5 rows for the border?
If using #6 yarn, I like to use 6 pegs on each side… that is 5 pegs for border & 1 peg for turning. If I am using a #4 or #5 yarn I like to use 5 pegs on each side… that is 4 pegs for borders and 1 peg for turning. There is no right or wrong.. you can make your borders as wide as you want them. Have fun!
