Hi all, very new here!! I've got super chunky yarn I'd picked up hoping to hand knit (I tried learning to crochet but I'm not sure I'm coordinated enough for that) into a blanket for my youngest before he was born, who's now almost 11 months. I'd started with size M needles but my oldest kids keep running off with them pretending to sword fight. So I'm thinking for ease and speed before Christmas, trying loom knitting might be my best option. Ignore the bad lighting, this is a pastel green and I've got several colors I'll be working with. Recommendations (links even better!!) for looks in this situation? Amazon has left me overwhelmed and the looms all look too small for the blanket I'm hoping to complete. TIA!!

I do most of my work on a 24 peg loom. I'd like to find a small gauge loom that is the same so that I can use only one strand of 4 weight yarn instead of two. What is the small gauge size needed for that?

I hope that made sense :)

Hey there. I've made a number of loomed blankets by now. Blocks, strips, twisted/mixed colors, I've done a few things. I want some more ideas!

My friend wants a 2 color blanket. What can I do with it pattern wise? Open to all and any ideas, I want to have a fun and casual time while I work. I make a habit of watching shows while I loom so I stay hip.

Hi all, I’m making a beanie and trying the decreased crown method on the KB website. Should I knit the body of the beanie to the desired length and then start the decreased crown method? Or should I count the 8 or so rows of the decreased crown as part of the length of the beanie? Hope my question makes sense!

So I’m working on a blanket and am new to looming. Just saw this mistake several rows back and am wondering if there is a fix without taking it off and frogging it. Thanks in advance.

If I used light (3) yarn in a 3/8 gauge loom, what would the consequences be? Can they be avoided by using two strands?

Thanks!

On an afghan/infiniti, can I mix stitches in the same row?

My thought was to do say, six purls, then two e wraps, or two reverse purls. But I know the size changes based off the stitch you're using. Is there a way around this, or do I have to use the same stitches on each row?

Does anyone have a pattern for something like this or similar?

This was started by my daughter several years ago and I just unearthed it, I’d love to finish this scarf and mail it to her for Christmas. Thank you all for your help!

So I was new to loom knitting, only made one scarf before and then started on another but my life fell apart and I got busy. Now I have this half finished project I came back to and I don't know how to continue or what type of loom knitting I was doing to look it up. Can some wise person look at it and tell me what I was doing is that how this works 😅😭 All I know is it looks like some sort of double thing

Just trying to figure out what kind of loom this is. My older neighbor was trying to sell it and asked me if I could get some info.

Finished my son’s blanket. I did half of my blanket loom with bernat blanket yarn, 3 colors of ombre. I stress knitted allll afternoon. 💙

Tips on dealing with a tough boss

Hi all - I am very confused and haven't been able to find help anywhere regarding this. I followed many beanie loom knit tutorials, and they all feature bulky/super bulky yarn.

I'd like to loom knit with lighter weight yarn, and I bought looms with lower gages (the pins are closer together) to account for that. But how do I adjust loom size? Do I use the same loom size for the adult beanies?

I am Loom Knitting a blanket for my unborn Grandson. I have experienced all of the pieces shrinking. The shrinking is finished with the finished pieces. I am making the blanket in panels and a border. Another urgent problem is that 2 loops are on the blanket, each 1"; however, the knitting underneath is OK. I do not know where the extra yarn came from. Would someone please offer suggestions as to what I can do with these small loops of yarn? Should I cut them and weave them throughout the knitting? Would that cause it to unravel? I want this to be something the baby uses for a long time. I am not talented at anything, but I would love to have this be something that can make my daughter smile when I give it to her. Thank you for any suggestions or advice or suggestions on tutorials.

Hats for my three nephews. The middle child got the long hat, and he asked me why I made his older brother's hat so short.

Spiral hearts hat for my sister. I thought it was be difficult at first, juggling two strands of yarn. But it actually went together quite quickly.

The big one is my own hat. Double-sided. I made the little one for a nephew with the leftover yarn.

I’m currently working with a fairly bulky yarn making a scarf but the result is coming out rather stiff. I started over a few times adjusting the tension so that I’m not wrapping too tightly but it’s just not making it much looser feeling.

I’m rather new to loom knitting so I don’t know all the lingo but I’m using a standard size/gauge plastic loom and doing a standard knit stitch ( maybe the U-stitch?)

Can anyone recommend a stitch that would make a much looser scarf? I saw something called a breeze stitch that may work but I’m open to other suggestions

Sorry I can’t post any photos right now but can later if needed

Thanks in advance!

Is this easy for a beginner to try?
