We’ve made sure to include a few in this very round-up! Keep an eye out for motif style blankets made piece by piece, or for designs worked in strips instead of all at once. While there are special looms out there that are specifically designed for making blankets, you don’t necessarily need one. You might be wondering if you need a special sort of knitting loom to make these loom knitting blanket patterns. Now these loom knit blanket patterns are sounding more and more like a good idea, huh? Loom knitting also requires less dexterity overall, so it’s an especially good option for children and for folks whose dexterity has been affected by age or illness.

Perhaps you can try it out with one of these free loom knit blanket patterns!ĭid you know that people consider loom knitting to be easier than regular knitting? It’s true! The even distribution of the pegs on a knitting loom keeps your tension consistent and it’s much easier to notice if you’ve dropped a stitch somewhere along the way. If you have a knitting loom lying around, then it’s time to dust it off and give it a go. So it’s the motivation behind the comment – not the comment nor the question.Loom knitting is a fun and rewarding craft. When you ask you will be helping others and me too. Never worry about asking questions – I love questions ! If you thought about it someone else did too. The decisions should be made in that order.ĪND PLEASE, PLEASE don’t think I wrote this because I was bothered by the questions. Pick the project, pick a cast-on (start), then pick your stitch pattern. Once I finish my brim I can choose to continue my hat with ANY stitch pattern. I start a rib stitch brim with an e-Wrap cast-on and a flap-over brim with a chain cast-on. In fact 2 hats may have very different starts even when using the same stitch pattern. The brim of the hat will determine how I begin and the edge of the blanket will decide the cast-no for that project. I can use the Double Basket Pattern for a hat and a blanket but I’m going to start them very differently. The start, which is actually called the Cast-on, is not determined by the stitch pattern but instead by the project. So that if you’re knitting a hat you can use the pattern that says in the round. That is the reason that in my videos I send you to the website for patterns. This means that with some projects like say a hat, some stitches are not going to be knitted in the same exact way that I’m knitting. When I show you a stitch pattern there are several things you have to keep in mind.

I tighten that first row of loose loops to make sure I have a clean edge.Ī stitch pattern is NOT a project. I do try to keep the edge as thin as possible so that it doesn’t distract from the pattern. How many is determined by the yarn which is usually left over or chosen more because of color then any other reason. The edge will consist of 2 – 3 rows of the knit stitch. I e-Wrap all my pegs then use the U-wrap to knit the cast-on. Mark the Multiples: The Number of Pegs Needed to Create the Stitch Pattern. Then if the pattern is made up of say 6 stitches – I mark every 6th stitch for the length that I want the fabric and end by marking 2 pegs at the end for another slim edge. I mark 2 pegs at the beginning for a slim edge. Then I mark out my edges and my multiples. The KBAHL does not have an anchor peg so this lets me know not to knit the slip knot that I placed on that peg. They’re good quality bands and the come in a large array of colors. Marking my loom is essential even with simple of patterns Please note that lot of these patterns will work on any gauge loom but the detail might not show up in the same way.įirst let me remind you that I have ADD so I can’t focus very well.

Plus this one happens to be available in a lot of your local brick and mortar stores like Joann’s where you can get it with a coupon as well as on-line through eBay (best price) and Amazon. I use it because stitch patterns show up much nicer when you use small gauge looms. My loom of choice for most of these lessons is the KB Adjustable Hat Loom. So below is my step by step process in text, picture and video. Well I don’t want those people to think I don’t care because I do. I’m doing this because some people have gotten genuinely confused and others have even gotten angry because my videos immediately start with the stitch and not the cast-on. I am going to explain how and why you should NOT do the same. So I’m constantly asked how I start my stitch patterns.
