Making a square with Knifty Knitter round loom

L. did a demo of how to make a 5" by 5" square using a round blue Knifty Knitter loom for her friends. They are working on making an afghan for a local homeless shelter and using the loom is easier for the kids, and takes significantly less time for them, to make a square. L. is a lefty as you'll see in the demo but the concept of wrapping one way, and then the other, is the same no matter which hand you use.

the first and last loops are tricky, I still do not get it how to do them, they do not look correct when I do it

Thanks for posting this as my group "Crafting Angels" is collecting 6" squares to make lapghans for a nursing home in Vegas. I think if we wrap 15 pegs it will make a 6" square. Guessing here... :)

I love this and that it isn't as complicated as the one made for scarfs and panels.

Two strands of yarn keeps the knit tighter. One strand will make a looser stitch.

because thats what that stich does on that loom. try to use the rectangle loom and it won't curl up at all, but i would do a different stich a double sided stich.Hope that helped u out.

How many pegs and how many rows

[@wea1021]

12 pegs to make a 5” square. For rows, use a measuring tape to measure 5” from your first row. It depends on what kind of yarn to determine number of rows.

@@wea1021 thank you

[@marniekatzbeck5856]

so glad I found your video was looking for a square to make prayer shawls.

[@KrnBoyKevin]

@starnstv I guess instead of stopping to make a square, you continue till you have the length you want for a scarf

[@momtonjmj]

Thank you! Great tutorial for knitting a flat piece :-)

[@wea1021]

Good luck with your lapghans Beverly. I think your peg guess is likely correct. Thanks for the comment. :)

[@TheKara1983]

how many rows did you do ?

[@starnstv]

What do you use the 5 in square for? Do you sew them together to make a blanket? Thanks

[@gmodrules123456789]

do you need to use two strings or is that just for decoration?

[@Silvairis]

how many rows specifically do you do?

[@BornAgainFarmGirl]
