Best stitch for a bag?

Hello everyone. I am going to attempt to knit a bag and am wondering if there is a stitch that you all would recommend? I’m looking for something that wouldn’t have that much stretch. Thanks in advance!

Is this actually seed stitch?

I’ll be honest I was feeling cocky after finishing a garter stitch project and thought I could surely do seed stitch. I have a basic loom with 31 pegs, so i just K1 -> P1 knowing that they would end up alternating each row.

I’m definitely into whatever is happening here but it doesn’t look like seed stitch to my eye…

Measurements for Loom Knitting

Hi folks!! I am a crocheter, but I received an afghan loom for Christmas. I've picked up loom knitting fairly quickly & enjoy it a lot! I now have a set of circular looms. My question is, how do you translate taken measurements to the loom? I tried to make a 25" circumference toque/beanie but it ended up being huge. I've looked on Google for a resource but Google sucks now 😭 please point me in the right direction?

The method I used was to weave my fabric measuring tape through the pegs then add a few inches to account for shrinkage. Is that incorrect?

Rotating double knit loom

Has anyone used KB's 60 peg topper for the rotating double knit loom? If so, tell me about casting on... I feel as if I'm missing a step in the casting on process.

Making a Slugcat? Any tips or advice?

Hey, I know I've only posted here once, but I wanted to try and make a slugcat from Rainworld. Just a simple one. Maybe a little on the bigger side. The only chunky yarn I have right now is a darker teal. Any tips or advice? Because I'm thinking about just using a modified mouse thingy from LoomaHat on a round loom only bigger and longer.

Fun things to knit someone having a mastectomy?

My dear old mum just found out she has breast cancer. I don't really know what to say, so I'm putting my feelings into knitting. Does anyone have any patterns/ideas/things they've knitted that would comfort someone going through this? A knitted boob or something?

I just want to cheer her up, and I know she'll like me knitting her something. I have several different sizes of round loom and an endless supply of wool and stuffing.

Harry Potter scarf

Hello! I got a loom kit for Xmas this year and have been practicing with cheap dollar store yarn.

My kid is reading the Harry potter books and is obsessed with.

Does anyone have a good pattern/youtube video for the house scarves?

Also suggestions on yarn gauge/weight?

I’m excited!

Thanks!

Brand new to loom knitting

Hello, I love to crochet, but I'm having hand surgery so I won't be able to. Id like to try loom knitting, but I only want to make double-thick 8"x8" pot holders. Can you let me know what loom I should use for this? Do you also have any favorite YouTube videos for beginners that you like? Thank you so much!

Afghan Loom Question

Is it possible to only go halfway around an Afghan loom, or will that mess up the final product? It just seems like a lot of yarn to go all the way around...

I have experience on round looms. This is my first time using an afgan loom. I'm more interested in making something smaller and doing it correctly than making a giant blanket at this point.

Favorite stitch for loom knit hat?

Hi! I started knitting using this owl eye stitch that I really like the stretchiness of for hats- I also like the garter for scarves- but I wanted to make some hats I could duplicate stitch patterns onto so switched to a unwrap to get the classic knit stitch “triangles”. I am using a 41 peg loom with bulky 6 yarn… the hats look good but I. Almost want a bit more stretch… any suggestions? (Thinner yarn? Or alternate stitch?)

Thank you!!

Delete if not allowed!

After talking about making a pattern for what felt like forever, and multiple people asking if I had a pattern, I finally did it!

I just wanted to say thank you to those of you that tested it out for me and showed support💞

I’ve spent years perfecting this sleeve and am so excited to share it with the world!

Thank you again y’all! It was beyond cool to see completed project with my pattern.

Pattern Stitches

Hi I was playing around the with the site www.stitchfiddle.com. I've been trying to do some pattern work on a loom. I tried a basic one last night and while it worked, the design looked a bit squashed. Should I be using a particular option on the site? Also does anyone have any recommendations, I tried e wrap and flat. E wrap was best but not tight and flat was not useful at all.

Thanks

Swiffer covers

Hi all! Wondering if anyone has a written pattern for reusable Swiffer covers. I saw a few YT tutorials but the row counts seem to be hiding from me. Thanks in advance!

Ideal loom size for adult hats?

I’ve made a handful of baby hats and I’m ready to move on to adult or bigger hats. My current biggest loom is 31 pegs. (I think anyway. I’m not in front of it at the moment.) I’m just not sure what size I actually need? 😄This was the last hat I made on the biggest round loom I have.

How do you make hats the right height?

I’ve made many hats, but I always end up guessing on how many rows. I end up eye-balling it and it doesn’t always go well. Is there a measurement or count? Sometimes I aim for 9” but it doesn’t always work out for me. I use a regular adult sized loom.

Here are three hats I’ve made over the past two days. The left one is way too big, the middle one is too short (for me), and the right one is basically just right - but the yarn js way stretchier so it was totally different.

Is there a special method to finding the right amount of rows?

Ergonomics, anyone have hook suggestions for something more comfortable?

I’m excited to get into sock loom knit, but this handle on the “hook” is uncomfortable. What do you use?

First blanket!

It took me a month longer than I had hoped but oh well, pretty good turnout for taking such a big project on as a beginner. I need to sew in the strands and this thing is a wrap! The teen has already ran off with it. Its quite alright, makes me feel good that he appreciates my handiwork.

Now on the hunt for other beginner level projects.

Heart Hat!

Just want to say thanks to recent person who posted their heart hat! I’m new to loom knitting but as the comments suggested, I watched the mittens video and just applied the technique to a hat! I’m obsessed. Working on matching mittens now! So excited to make more in other colors. ♥️
