struggling with tight rectangle looms

recently picked up some tight rectangle looms, I'm struggling to thread them and anything I do on them goes incorrectly

actually looping the yarn over - the loop going over ends up inches big almost immediately

I've tried figure 8, I've tried owl eye, I've tried just standard knitting and nothing is working

any suggestions?

Help re: stitches

Hi all, I'm working on a pattern for a shawl that is for knitting and I'm making it on the loom. The instructions say to 'purl the knit stitch and knit the purl stitch. I'm familiar with how to do the basics of those 2 but never encountered anything as it says as in those instructions. I've taken a look online and cannot seem to find info on how to do this. Any chance that someone may be familiar and able to provide some guidance?

Thanks!

Baby cocoon and hat set

Both were made on the KB Multi-Knit Loom. Yarn is by Yarn Bee - the gray/brown is an Alpaca blend and the coral is Breathe Deep. I (partially) followed the Bow-Tiful pattern by Gabrielle Fagone for the cocoon. No pattern for the hat, it’s just all garter stitch. The set is for my new great-niece.

What can I make with an infinity loom?

The box said I could make more than just blankets, like hats and stuff too, but I can’t find instructions on how to make anything other than a blanket/afghan online. Thanks in advance for any advice :)

Help with new pattern

I'm working on a moth pattern but having trouble with the wings, anybody have any advice? I'd like to post the pattern when it's finished, with credit of course to anyone who helped. So far all i have is a grub lol

I'd like the wings to be in worsted weight but fluffy is fine too, it'll hide the imperfections πŸ˜†

Looking for a ruffle pattern

Hi, I'm pretty new to loom knitting. I've made hats and scarves, and a few arm warmers. I'm looking to make a clown collar for a Halloween costume. I was thinking of just making a long ruffle edge and joining it together with a tie. I can't find a tutorial on how to make a ruffled edge (or rather, I can't find one slow enough for me to follow along). Any advice would be appreciated!!!

why doesn't it work

I'm new to loom knitting, and I'm trying to make a hat for when it's cold. I go behind the peg and around it, like I should, but it looks like fishnets. I think that my wool is slightly thinner than the ones in the tutorials. How do I fix this, should I change something?

She got my hook!

My dog is at that age where she thinks everything is a toy. I try to keep things out of her reach but today I came back inside from my break and in less than 10 minutes did this. I'm a little mad but also impressed how quickly she did so much damage.

I may have a problem

It all started with the little green one in the middle. Normally a crochet dude but someone gave me the little guy and I've been cranking out newborn baby hats faster than some of our politicians lie. I started going to thrift stores (Goodwill/Savers) and seemingly there are always looms to buy. Still searching for good pom pom makers, a sock loom, and a good yarn ball winder when I venture out. At least that's what I tell myself. 🀣

Help with a poncho/cape!

I drew this recently and decided I wanted to try and make it. Unfortunately every pattern I've found so far hasn't been the shape I have in mind (diamond shaped rather than triangle). I was planning on making each stripe and then connecting them, but I worry about it being tube shaped rather than flared out towards the bottom. I understand I have to increase and decrease the sides in order for it to slope, though I'm not sure how to Start And End a stripe with a slope on it. If anyone has any suggestions, or videos that could help me piece together what i need to do, it would be really appreciated. Thank you!

Bigger type of loom???

I have a very specific project in mind and was wondering if anyone knew of a loom that would be able to handle 10ft in width because i'd rather not attempt to use 2 s looms at the same time and sew the project together later on

EDIT:

Thank you for all yalls help ended up finding an adjustable loom from amazon hoping this is a decent equivalent to the KB flexee loom and the wooden loom they sell will post an image once i finish my project for yall

i bought 3 just to be safe on size

CinDWood loom with wooden pegs

I found a CinDWood 34-peg round loom on eBay that looked exactly like the ones with nylon pegs, but these pegs are made of wood. Same size and shape as the standard, classic CinDWood pegs, but instead of nylon. these are made of wood. They appear to be turned on a lathe and then the groove was cut by hand (each one is a little different). They are set in the MDF frame with glue, like all of them are. Could this be a prototype, or did they make them of wood for a while? I'm new to loom knitting so I have no idea how common this is, but haven't seen one like this anywhere on YouTube or here, or through searches. Will write to CinDWood if no one here knows.
