A lot of knitters show off, thanks for being nice and patient with new comers to loom knitting.
Thank you for watching! I am still learning myself after all these years and try to treat each video as if I new loomer is watching. I know it may annoy some when I go over basics each time but I know it helps new loomers. I'm appreciative of every subscriber I have here.
Thank you for being the first person to talk about the edges curling. I always have that problem. I am trying a new answer by crocheting the edges.
+Clara Morrison Crochet edge should work as well.
Check out my other videos for casting off a loom, there are different ways you can do it.
Thank you for making a normal, easy to follow video. This is my first blanket and I'm still new to knitting. I cannot understand the knitting terms in most of the blanket videos. Hopefully I'll get there one day! Thanks again!!
+Amy Bartles It takes time. :) No rush. Videos are always here to help you.

I thought I was addicted to crocheting...UNTIL I tried looming!!! Lol Thank you for this awesome tutorial! I can't wait to try this!!
+Corinne Butcher Let me know how it goes! Don't forget to join my Facebook page for Simply Intertwined. facebook.com/SimplyIntertwinedEst.2011/
Corinne Butcher I'm new at knitting. I have kb long loom do I ewrap the slip knot ?
I learned to crochet at a very young age. I’m wanting to try this. As a fellow crochet person how do you like the loom?
Check out my other videos about "stitiches I use" and "casting on a rectangle loom" along with "casting off a rectangle loom" and see it that helps you out. :)
Hon, your loom knitting posture is just like mine! Also, we could be twins! Which makes you more relatable than many other loom knitting tutorials. You are a real person.
Thank you!! My newer ones don't show me in them but I hope my personality still comes through!!
You are just a joy to watch! I learned so much from your video. I’m wanting to make my daughter and husband blankets. You took your time and were patient with your explanations!❤
Thank you! Good luck with your blankets!
Thank you so much for such great instructions. Always wanted to use these looms and had NO IDEA how they worked. I can knit, and crochet, but had to teach myself by turning the book upside down as I'm left handed. (Same way I taught myself to play Guitar!) But with RA and occasional carpal tunnel (I'm permanently disabled) bothering me on long detailed projects I find this amazingly easy and so simple to do! I love it and your videos. Thanks for helping me to keep my love of arts and crafts alive! I adore Quilting, Cross stitch, and Embroidery too! I'm too young to hang up my yarn and needles yet! (56!) So you have no idea how much I appreciate this! These tears are from JOY! Bless YOU Virginia! Can't wait to get a long loom to go with these as well! I'll be watching all your videos! Muah Dear! I so appreciate this! Suzi
Awww thanks! I enjoy making the videos.
I watched this video several times, it was very helpful. You don't need to go out and buy an expensive LOOM just to make a blanket.
Exactly. It's about finding the right looms FOR YOU. However, I do have an "S" type loom to make 5ft wide blankets but that was a gift. If you need a wider blanket then you can make panels with this one and sew them together. :)
Im glad I fought your video.I’m learning how to loom as well would like to see some updates tutorials
I will be doing new videos (different projects) soon, make sure to check out my channel more to see all videos I have done
Thank you so much!!! I tried to learn how to knit, couldn't, so I bought a loom set. I went through several videos trying to learn how to loom and finally found this video of yours!
Super easy!!! And I am loving how it is progressing!!!
God bless you and keep you!!! ❤️😁🙏❤️😁🙏❤️😁🙏
Glad my videos can help you!
I finished my first baby blanket, thanks for your help! I love your instructions and your web site.
Thank you! What's your next project?
@CraftyQT You most likely would have to do it while you are looming the blanket. As I mentioned in the video, you can start with the garter stitch all away across for so many rows, then switch to only doing a certain amount of pegs at the beginning and end of your room. The "middle" of the loom would be a different stitch. Then end the blanket with garter stitch all away across the loom for as many times as you did at the start of the project.
Thanks, Virginia! I love that this project is not overwhelming to a newbie like me. And THANK YOU for explaining that purling prevents curling!!! I have been through several people's videos, plus the book that came with my loom, and nobody else mentioned that.
I'm glad I could help!!
I COULDN'T HAVE SAID IT BETTER!!!!!!! I could hug you. You are the only person I have found that explains this to where I can understand it. Thank you SO much. I haven't gotten to see your other videos yet but please keep making them. If you can teach other stitches or patterns that would be awesome. Thank you SO much. :)
VIRGINIA, IN ADDITION YOU ARE SO GOOD AT THIS.
Thanks for the great video. Short, sweet and to the point. I'm going to check out your other videos for detailed stitches, etc.
Thank you! I've been stuck for days not knowing how to get my work off the loom!!
CKT you're welcome.
I am new to Loom knitting. How fun!! I like the way you explain everything. Great job, Thank you!!
Thank you for watching! I have a blog as well with free patterns and more! www.simplyintertwined.blogspot.com
Wow love it how u explain it my first time I do crochet but this Want to try it thank u I didn’t know how to start it God bless u❤❤❤❤
I'm glad it was helpful!
@uteautumnlovr You want the blanket to have garter stitch on the top and bottom along with sides right?
Thanks so much for your help. I'm fairly new at looming & I appreciate you taking out from your time to help me & other fellow loomers. GB
+Deborah Bustamante Thanks for watching! As I learn, I try to teach. :)
Just starting to learn how to loom and your videos are the BEST! You explain things so well, show what your doing so we can see it and I love that you answer your viewers back! I will be seeing a lot of you, lol. Thanks and thanks!!!
Thank you! I try to respond as soon as I can.
Absolutely, spot on. The BEST instructional video out there!!!!
Virginia,thanks so much.you make this easy and fun.I'm going to get a longer loom and try your blanket.I'll let you know how it turns out.
Good luck and have fun!
Oh ok thank you for coming back and answering my questions you are AWESOME....so welcome back I be waiting....
I really like the way you go through things step by step. The counter was a great idea! Thanks for the type. I also will incorporate adding the tail of my slip stitch onto the loom, vs letting it hang,. I started a quilt on a small loom and thought that I could do rows and then sew them together but using the e stitch, it does roll really bad. So I will try it on the larger loom. I want to prevent it from curling, which videos teach a different stitch that will not roll on me. I really appreciate your videos and great explanation
Thank you. The garter stitch helps with curling. You can do smaller squares this way and sew together like you wanted. ruclips.net/video/9hLijHF4B5I/видео.html
Hi Virginia...just wanted to say thank you for this video.I wanted so badly to make a baby blanket for a friend but I just could not figure out what to do when I got to the end of my loom.(how to turn around and go back the other way),but you helped me figure it out.My blanket is half done now and it looks so pretty.You're the best!
Dudsmom Anddad Thank you! I'm glad it worked out for you! :)
Thank you. This was very helpful. I have only made a scarf on my round loom. My son (7 y/o) wanted to try a blanket so we got a square loom but needed pointers before I tried teach him! Again very helpful thanks for sharing!!
Amy Elliott Thanks for watching!
Can the figure stich do a baby blancket
Thanks so much for posting this (and all of your other videos.) I found a loom set at a thrift store (without directions) and I've been wondering what to do with it. I found the product's website to be confusing and vague. I have only crochet experience, so your videos are really helping to explain everything and inspire me! Much love!
OMG!!!! Your tutorial is so awesome! I have been watching video after video trying to figure how to use my loom. Your video helped me so very much! Thank you!
Thank you for watching!!
I use a bendy straw to get between the pegs i have bigger fingers so its hard to get between.
Whatever works! 😀
when do u start to put thread on first peg
hi do you know any round loom knitting tutorials for the mermaid blanket or know if anyone has post a video for it plz
i just started knitting, and my yarn gets tangled as i pull it out. any ideas on how to prevent that?
You made it so easy! I kept looking for videos over and over and yours was the best explained and detailed!
+cristela cantrell Thank you for watching! :)
I could hug you. You are the only person I have found that explains this to where I can understand it. Thank you SO much. I haven't gotten to see your other videos yet but please keep making them. If you can teach other stitches or patterns that would be awesome. Thank you SO much. :)
Thank you for this - I been trying different video samples and they were not what I wanted. Finally understand this and it is working well with the slick soft yarn I bought on sale lol
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for your video. This is the simplest blanket video that I have seen on here, and it's very easy. You talk to us like were right there with you, and I appreciate that. Your videos are new to me, where can I see more?. I recently taught myself to knit, and crochet, thanks to you tube, and have been doing the round looms for about 2 years now, and bought myself the square looms at the same time , and just decided to start working on them now. So Thanks again for your videos.
Sharon Harshman I have a blog that lists the videos I've done and free patterns I've created. www.simplyintertwined.blogspot.com/
You are great to follow especially after not looming in 20 years....keep up the great work! ❤❤❤
Thank you! I hope to have more up soon!
Hi on the ends of the blanket when you start to go back in the other direction you skipped the first peg... do you do that when you are PKP on the first three pegs
thanks kallie
Use two yarns and do the garter stitch I talked about, making sure to have both strands when purling.
* garter stitch= knit a row, purl a row. Check my video about stitches I use if you don't know how to do purling yet.
do you have a video on how to loom knit socks?
Nice video. On point with the basics, easy to understand!
Glad it was helpful!
You can make panels and then sew them together (using yarn). Keep track of the amount of rows you do to make sure the panels are the same length as much as possible.
will this make an adult size blanket without having to sew panels together? I'm new to this.
Did you do a garter stitch at the begining and end? If not, you could try blocking it or adding a crochet border around. I don't have a video on adding that because I don't do it.
thanks will do. but what's the difference going around your peg and doing the zig zag?
i made a blanket on the looms for myself on the big looms and i love it.
i'm glad!
I've seen a lot of people saying their stiches got too tight when doing the E stitch. I found that if the cross-over point of the wrap in on the INSIDE of the loom, the tension is good and never gets too tight. You must wrap the pegs in the same direction each time. You'll know immediately if you did it backward.
What did you put on the handle of your hook?
Thank you for making this all make since!! lol I am so anxious to try this out! I really hope I can figure it all out.
+Rikki Hurt Just take your time. :) And have fun!
I love your tutorials, they really help. I go between your channel and mikeyssmail as well for both knitting and crocheting. I do have a question, I'm making my first blanket but I only have the round looms. Can you use those to make blankets?
I love how you break everything down I"m a beginner thank you
By zig zag do you mean using both sides at once? It will create a smaller panel or a thicker panel depending on the yarn.
how do you cast off the odd ball stitch at the end ? and is there a way to bind off the knitting with out using a crochet needle ?
steffy2385 Usually a crochet hook helps and as for the "odd ball" it should cast off fine with the others.
Thank you so much! I used your tutorial to make my first blanket (although it's adult sized). :)
Glad it worked for you!
well I am almost done with the blanket now and have enjoyed making it. If is does come out not a complete square no harm done. I have learned so much from just watching your videos....please keep it up and teach us!!!!
I hope it works for you.
Can you do like full size blanket on the long knitting loom . How many do you have to to make full size blanket ?
You can and then join together. As for how many, I'm not 100% sure. I haven't used this loom in a while so I don't remember the measurements of the finished project depending on the amount of pegs used. I would say make one and then measure and compare to a normal blanket and it should give you an idea of how many. I am pretty sure at least 4 or more. Sorry I couldn't be more help!
thankyou for your video, you helped me understand better how to use the knitting tool.
Thank you for watching. :)
I need your advice. I am working on a baby blanket on a loom. One of the plastic pegs broke right in the middle. Do I try and use Super Glue? Do I purchase the same loom and try to move it. Do I try and cast off and connect it to another one
Have far into the blanket did you get? I haven't used super glue on pegs. Do you have the info to write to the company that made them and see if they can help?
Do you know where to buy the serenity or infinity loom in canada?
dave bush Try Amazon or Joann.com online and see if they ship to Canada. Do you have a local craft store nearby?
I was wondering if you can do this on a round loom? Would I do it the same way?
It would depend on the size of the loom. You can make flat panels using a round loom but the size would be different. You may have to panels and sew them together.
I just found that one lol thanks again have a blessed day ..
You can do that, I'm working on a patchwork blanket for my daughter. I'm making different squares and then will join them together.
Hello : Do you have a picture of the blanket finished ? I would like to make a baby blanket can you make a tutorial please ?, thank you
Ty got this video. I see you went clockwise on the first row and counter clockwise on the 2nd row. Correct?
I just finished my blanket. Do you have a video on how to add a border so it doesn't curl?
how do yo9u stop the yarn from tangling so bad when using 2 skeins?
One, check the yarn as you are working by pausing and seeing if the skeins need to be adjusted to "untangle them" before continuing. Second, a yarn ball winder helps because you can wind up two stands at one that way when you pull later it will be easier.
I have a question about changing colors, when counting your rows, do you count you cast on (the first time around with the e stitch)? Or do you not start counting until the first knit over? Also, when you change colors, do you count that first wrap? Thank you, sorry if I'm a little confused, very new to this...but loving it so far :)
how would do you a garter stitch to create a border on the loom while its been loomed?
I try make blanket on martha stewart loom how many pegs do I need match up the blue one you have . How low do I make it fit a twin side bed
I want to learn how to make a scarf
THANK YOU!!! I'm totally new to working to anything creative. You're video, is the 1 I've been searching for. Now I know what others are doing/showing other how to create. I've literally never seen how to make any kind of blanket. They only showed the ewrap for hats or when using the round loom. I now understand what the others were saying. Thank again, hope I can find many more of your videos.........
I am glad it helped! Make sure to subscribe so you can be notified of new videos!
@@SimplyIntertwined I did, as soon as you showed us newbies Take Care
Thx for letting me know about the size of the loom on the video it looked longer ❤😊 great information 👍
Glad it was helpful!
How do you do a purl stitch on the long looms?
Check out my garter stitch video where I first do a knit row, then a purl row. :) Here is the link: ruclips.net/video/iF0jmZ2aBjw/видео.html
I love this thanks... how many rows you did for each color to make a long enough blanket for baby
Diana Nieves I don't remember exactly. It does depend on the bulkiness of the yarn itself and how long you want the blanket to be.
hi im new to loom how do i make it not curl? and use 2 threads to thicken?
I find that when I wrap the first and last pegs I don't get the curling you mentioned. My edges have a nicely tight finished look to them as well. Just thought I'd share that with you.
It depends on the size of the baby blanket you make, the loom in the video is about 22 in long. It came in a set of 4 through Amazon.
do you have a trick to keep the yarn from twisting when you use to strands?
Sometimes I use a yarn ball winder and wind the two skeins into "one" where I can have both strands together easier, I hope this makes sense.
I want to make a baby blanket but I don't want to change colors its call the Lullaby Baby Blanket do you no if there is a video tutorial or maybe you can do one since you are so good at explaining the instructions and you are so awesome at it I would love it and I know a lot others would too....
If it is a specific pattern I would need permission to do a video (if I understand the pattern).
***** I would have to know more about the blanket you are talking about. Again, if it is a pattern I would need permission. As for colors, I would need to know the specific Lullaby Baby Blanket pattern since there are a few out there called that.
I have been crocheting for over 40 yrs and more but since I have fibromyalgia and other bone related diesies I bought 2kb kitting loomsand I don't know what I want to try first plus I have so much yarn to choose from I will be Definitely checking out more if ur vids u make it so easy thanks 😘
Thanks for watching them! I have more planned for next month.
Hi good morning thanks for and so quickly I am watching u again just to go over again just to make sure it Awesome. AndReal
I really like your videos and I have learned a lot. My question is how would I make a larger blanket ??? How would you tie them into each other???
nancy R You could invest in an "S" type loom which will give you a bigger blanket or "sew" panels together.
Joshua M. Galligan
I love this video. I refer to it all the time because I don’t always remember please don’t take it down.
I won't be taking it down. I am glad it helps you. I have even had to refer to my past videos when I forgot things.
Thank you for taking the time to make this fabulous helpful video it helped me cut my stress sooo much.
Glad it helped!
Yes, just switch them out or use two different colors at once, depending on the look you want.
hi virginia. i was just wondering how wide your final blanket is? i am not sure if i have the same long loom as you, mine is about 22 inches long with 62 pegs, it looks about the same size but mine is green. i want to make a baby blanket, with a basket weave pattern and a seed stitch border, with a bulky yarn, but i'm worried that my blanket won't be wide enough. do you think it will be wide enough? i don't really know how wide a baby blanket should be.
I can't remember exactly how wide it was, I haven't made one it awhile. But, I believe we might have the same. This loom was the biggest out of a four pack that was : blue, green, yellow, and pink. (Biggest to smallest). I've made baby blankets in different sizes and width depending on where the person lives. (Hotter weather, smaller blanket lol) or if it will be used in a crib or over a car seat. Once you work a few rows you will be able to gauge the width better and can use a flexible measurement to get an idea.
Right now I''m doing the figure eight stitch for some scarves. Can I do that for a baby blanket?
You can just be careful with what gauge loom you use so the "gaps" won't get the baby's fingers stuck.
thank you for this tutorial. I was going to ask what Victoria asked but you answered her. Thank you!
Love, love the way you explain the process....
Thank you! Make sure to check out newer videos too where the camera angle is better.
okay did what your video loom but i cant get it to turn to a blanket and continue. i did two e wraps and put it over each stub. then do it once around and put over the stub or twice e stitch again and then take last loop and put over each stub? im confused to make it continue each row.
You are working this as a flat panel. Have you made any other flat panel projects before? Check this video as it might give you an idea of how to work back and forth.
ruclips.net/video/ALnH-jzR6To/видео.html
thank u. new to the loom dont know all the lingo but i think its flat panel.

If I have several strips I want to combine to make a large blanket how do I attach them together?
You can "sew" them together either with a plastic needle that comes with some loom knit kits or use a crochet hook. If you have a big enough loom you might be able to place loops back on and attach panels that way. Check out my "Joining Squares" video for the idea: ruclips.net/video/sCRhhlJnMug/видео.html
hi what pattern can u use on a infinity loom to get ur bernat blanket bright yarn colour coordinate
You mean to have the colors line up?
Virginia Galligan yes
If the yarn is variegated then that would be hard to do since you can determine when the color will change. If it is a solid color then you are fine.
Virginia Galligan ty i watch ur videos they are very helpful thank you so much
I'm followig direction bit usually around second turn my yarn is so tight I can't pull over pegs. Making me crazy... what am I doing wrong?
Brook McLeod Try to relax more. I had that problem in the beginning. check out this video of mine: ruclips.net/video/lqjVl8tooBk/видео.html
Virginia Galligan hi bah
How do you attach two full blankets together?
You can "sew" them together using a plastic needle or crochet hook. Lined them up and carefully sew up.
Virginia I love ur videos on loom knitt I watch them over and over sometimes I get it sometimes I don't I was wondering how u make a baby blanket on a round loom I don't have a long one.
It doesn't on the size of the round loom. Like is it a Knifty Knitter loom? With round looms you sometimes need to make panels and sew together to get the width/length you want.
Thank you! I got a loom like this for Christmas and was wondering if I could thread it in this manner, and you've shown me that you can! Lovely work you've done, too - I will gladly subscribe! :)
Glad I could help!
Hi, I am posting on my husband's account. I just started loom knitting a baby blanket and in your video you mentioned curling. If it is already started to curl because I didn't know how to prevent it (new at this) is there a way to fix it?
What I learned if if you knit a row, then purl a row, then knit a row, then purl a row (repeat this process a few times and it will help). Also, you can "block" the blanket when done, by wetting it and laying it out flat to dry.
My loom has 32 pegs and is the long one. When I take it off the loom will that be the length or width? Sorry, but this is my first blanket and my third project. Thanks for your help!
It will be the width but it won't be as wide as the loom. It shrinks down a little (on any loom). Do you have a tape measure? That will give you an idea about what width you have on the loom now. Any more questions don't hesitate to ask, that's what I'm here for! :)
Hi there, I just went to walmart today and got my first loom set it has 2 looms
55 cm / 22"
25 cm/ 10"
Im not sure how to start the blanket lol
