I watched this video almost 4 years ago and I now have a handmade business. My first scarf took about a week to make, today it takes me only a few hours. 😀
Thank you for your video. I have a wonderful Grandson who has a brain injury, and wanted to learn to knit. We bought the loom and looked up your video. By our third lesson he was doing wonderfully. He finished His first scarf and tomorrow we will be starting on a pillow cover. He has not been so excited and proud of Himself for a long while. Thank you so much.
That's how I started loom knitting too...I had a concussion and needed something to do so I didn't lose my mind! I hope your grandson has recovered fully!
Your still blessing people 10 years later 🫶🏻🧡 your the first video that made it so easy . I literally had to redo it three times and now I’m on my way to being a little knitter 🤣🤣🤣 thank you so much 🤝💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🫶🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻🧡🧡🧡
Thanks so much! I've had this loom or 3 years and never used it. The instructions were insane. Watching you after a few minutes, I'm now zooming through my first scarf. Awesome. Good teacher!
I totally agree!! I just purchased this loom and I told my husband I’m so thankful for this tutorial because I don’t understand the booklet instructions!!! I’m excited for this new hobby!!! Thanks 😊

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I've watched a million videos and the ones in the videos either talk too much taking forever to start teaching or they're moving too fast to keep up with. This video is perfect
You did an EXCELLENT job with the scarf instructions! This is my first attempt at a scarf (I've made 2 hats) and I agree with you. The written directions that came with the kit are HORRIBLE! You made it SIMPLE and saved me a lot of time! The video is very clear and easy to see. Your choice of yarn colors allowed the stitches to be seen easily as well. THANK YOU SO MUCH! ~ Debbie K.
I totally agree, James. Job well done. I was so lost trying to read the instructions and the horrible photocopy-quality pictures. This is the best simple video I've watched so far.
I have watched this video dozens of times as I was learning/teaching myself. From the casting on (not all videos are correct - or worse, the the joys of creative editing, errors no longer exist) all the way to the easiest/neatest way to finish a project. Thank you!
My 9 year old granddaughter got this as a Christmas present. She couldn’t understand the instructions in the box, found your video and now she’s well on her way to making her first scarf. Many thanks for sharing.
I can read directions on how to code a website without an editor and get further before having to ask for help than the "instructions" that came with that thing. Honestly, I wonder who writes those things sometime. I'm planning a few practice items first, then as they are single color patches, I'm hopeful to make a Doctor Who (4th Dr) scarf.
I have had my loom in the basement for a long time because I hated the directions and ended up tossing them and making nothing. I got back into crafting with Rainbow Loom and Im feeling confident that I can actually make something after watching your video!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!
Claudia, I wanted to thank you for your tutorial on the loom knitting, your video was the first one that I could follow. Thank You for going slow enough to follow each step. I am finally able to make a scarf on the rectangle loom. THANKS AGAIN.
You rock!! Thank you for these easy to follow instructions and thank you for saying the little things us newbies wouldn't know (like one peg should only have a single loop each time and what to do if we accidentally leave a loop on and end up with 3!)
I just bought this, read the directions and was ready to return it.. Then I watched this and it makes much more sense. I crochet and knit and could not understand how to do this by the directions that came with it. Thank you so much.
I am new to loom knitting. Already I have learned a few "tricks" that were NOT on the crappy one page of instructions I got with the loom kit. I had no idea what size each peg number meant, and I found that taking off the last one wrapped kept the whole thing from unraveling. I gotta say, I wish I would have watched you first!! The instructions with the kit were useless to me. I have been a crafter since I was 4 years old, learned on my gramma's lap! This is a whole new adventure for me, and I'm so looking forward to watching more videos and learning more stitches. Thank you for a great video!
I've got to tell u, this is a wonderful how to video made by a normal person who talks like I do & does things like I do when making something! You're only objective is teaching us how to do this & u did! Thank you for keeping it real! ❤
My neighbour, Ann, and I were talking about the 'old days' and French knitting, and I got curious why it was called that, so I went to a really informative site, and read about rake knitting and I didn't know what that was, and have just watched your video. I was honestly gripped, like watching a suspense movie. You're never too old to learn something new. Thanks for that. RobertE.
Happy this helps many ppl! Please know your gauge of loom which will help you match that with the weight of yarn you will need. You are using a larger gauge loom so a bulky weight yarn is best or more than 1 strand of a lighter wt yarn like the #4 you used in this video. If you want a lacey open look you can use 1 strand of #4 on a lg gauge so it become a design choice for a accessory scarf or when making a shawl etc. The drape is needed. Last if you will use 1 strands try using an empty pen or sturdy straw and thread both strands through it will keep both strands together and makes wrapping the loom much easier! It will also keep your tension the same throughout project. You can make loops tighter when piece is complete and off the loom. Try adding tassels they go through thise ends !! Great job!!!
The instructions that came with my loom are a complete joke, and printed so tiny that it was hard to even read the bad instructions. Thank you so much for this video, I just finished knitting my first knitted *anything* today. It's a creme colored fuzzy scarf. :-)
This was by far the best loom knitting video I've watched. I received my long looms for Valentine's Day but was so confused & scared to even try to make a scarf. Thank you so much for showing what to do with mistakes. I would have f rogged it so many times I wouldn't be finished. With your video it took me about a week and I wasn't even working on it everyday. I still have to get it off the loom which I will be doing today. Thank you for making it so easy.
Thank you! I literally bought this one and was so lost and was going to just give up. I watched the video and finally at 36 made my first scarf all thanks to you. the end of the scarf is a mess but I did it! I would love for you to make another video with the one to make beanies. Thank you so much. One thing checked on my bucket list
+bella sheridan I'm happy I could help! I do have a tutorial up on using a round loom to make a hat. To make it into a more beanie fit, it would probably need to be a little shorter than the one I made in that video, but I'd have to double check. Thanks for watching!!!
Thank you !!! I must have watched the entire tutorial 3 times. Then I narrowed it down to restarting rows freeze-frame at 2:22 and 10:34. I still have a ways to go and then will watch-watch-watch the binding-off again and again and again. Fingers crossed but I'm having so much fun! (my hands/brain don't work well enough for knitting or crocheting, but this is great!)
You are a life saver! I had bought this kit last night, this morning read through the directions and was frustrated with it and then tonight I said to myself "Lets find it on youtube!" the first video I watched was just terrible then I came across urs and BAM awesomeness and easy step by step instructions! TY soooooo much! now I can knit my bf a scarf this winter!
Your voice is so soothing, almost saying "you can make this too!", thank you so much for this video as the instructions that come with these looms are completely useless! Glad I found you.
Thank you for your helpful instructions. I got loom kits years ago and gave up after trying to figure out useless instructions that came with kit. Now after this video I am finally going to give it a go, wish me luck 😊
My daughter says ' This reminds her of when she used to do "Loom Bands" a few years ago. I'm getting her this for Christmas this year 2019 and I'm happy that's she's interested herself into knitting and Crochet.
To finish that last row, instead of the tool she's using, or even a crochet hook, I use a small rug hook; the loops you're trying to keep on will stay on, others slip off as you want them to.
Thank you so much for sharing this. 😀I also found the printed instructions with my loom to be horrible and super confusing. 😕 Your explanation made much more sense and was easy to follow. Thank you 😀
Thank you for the finishing off directions. My BF just took up a loom and I'd forgotten how to finish off, I just sent him this video to help him with the neater way to get it done.
I work for Michael’s and bought the loom because I’m a dufus and can’t knit for sh**, and you’re so right! The instructions are HORRIBLE! You’ve saved my Christmas, thank you!! I’ll suggest this video to customers
I searched the internet for over 2 hours until I found your video (I was googling the wrong thing). THANK YOU!! My instructions, like yours, are not very good, and they said the loom I bought was meant for #4 weight yarn. NOWHERE did it say to use 2 strands. I just started this today, and your video was a godsend! Bookmarking for use over and over.
+Melissa Loftin You can use it with just one strand, but I prefer the fabric to be a bit more dense so 2 strands it is! There are some looms that have the pegs closer together and those would probably be okay with 1 strand. I'm glad I could help you!
Thank you so much for this - I unboxed the loom and started reading the "directions" and it made no sense at all. Without your help, I'd still be sitting here with unworked skeins of yarn and a confused look on my face. As it is though, I have a scarf and a hat that are pretty great for a first time effort!
CLAUDIA you're so amazing and cool I've not knit since I was a pre teen and I'm now 56 years old and wanting to get back into it. I'm truly enjoyed watching your video. All this time I've been trying to knit without looming. But I did have the opportunity to go through plenty practice knitting without looming. I tend to drop a stitch and etc.. but watching your video definitely convinced me so today I'm going to Hobby Lobby to purchase 2 different looming. One for a scarf and one for a hat. I'll be looking out for more of your fabulous videos and thank you for sharing this video. Take care!
i think this is the best loom knitting tutorial i have had seen so fast. i felt it's complicated & i couldn't make anything. but i think i will give it a try again. as ur tutorial is clear & fairly easy to follow. im pretty confident i could loom a scarf. thank u
Thanks for the clear instructions. Having difficulty binding off, but all in all enjoying the work. My Granddaughter gave me a Loom & got me hooked on it. I have been doing a lot of Crocheting
I have never knit anything before and found your instruction very helpful. I worked on my scarf on and off for four days and thanks to you I can knit now!
Thanks to you, I just made my first scarf. It's 8 pegs wide on either side and 6 feet long in Coyote Brown. I made it to go with a winter cap I made, also my first it that area. Your instructions made it super easy to do; after a while, I was looming out 2 or 3 layers a minute.
Thank you! My dd got a knitting kit for Christmas and the instructions were terrible. She was going to town on it after watching your video and I may pick up a loom for myself now.
I have been looming for about 6 years, but i always wondered how to loom the way you did in this example. I loved it. I did purchace a bigger loom set that had one long loom like you were showing on the example.
Your video makes so much more sense than the book that comes with it. I like the suggestion of using two colors because I tried it with one and it did not look as good.
Your video helped me to get started with scarves and I am halfway through completing a baby blanket for my niece using the largest loom in my second set of looms I purchased. Lion Brand and Bernat yarn companies owe you a great deal of credit for their recent sales increase from all the yarnhave purchased!! Head bands and hats are next on my list!! Plus I am getting my other niece a loom set for Christmas this year!! Thank you so much!!!
This video is amazing. I have never knit anything in my life. I bought a loom a couple weeks ago, and finally made my very first scarf. It turned out amazing. Thank you for this video. It was extremely easy to follow your directions.
Thank you for this video. I have watched it several times in the past week as I sit in the hospital recuperating from covid. I just finished my first scarf.
I can knit a basic scarf the traditional way but I bought a loom set thinking it might be fun (and hopefully I could figure out how to make hats too). The directions were so frustrating. A neighbor felt the same way and gave me her looms too. So I've had a dozen of the things sitting here collecting dust until your tutorial. I think I "get it" now. Thank you! LoL :)
Hi I just subscribed and I really like how you are very interactive with your subscribers. A lot of bigger accounts do the same things you do but don't really answer questions a viewer might have. Thumbs up for you!
Thank you! I bought this blasted kit and was so excited to start using the loom, and the directions made NO SENSE! I was trying to decide whether to return everything when I thought I'd look here to see if anyone had better instructions. Thank you for taking the time to post this; you should be getting financial kickbacks from the company lol.
You have helped me so much! Thank you for the very detailed and easy to understand instructions. Looking forward to making some nice Christmas scarves for my family. Keep up the great work!
I recently bought on of the rectangular looms. I totally agree about the directions. HORRIBLE. The way you demonstrated I totally got it. I plan to teach my high school students with special needs to make their own scarves. Thanks so much. Wanda
Mia, I'm unable to reply directly to your comment so I hope you check back and see this. Bulky weight yarn is about equal to two strands of worsted weight (what I used) so you shouldn't have any problems there. You might need to look at the yardage of the skein. If you want a longer scarf, you might need another skein. With bulky yarn it wouldn't take long to work up so I'd give it a try and see how you like it!
Is there a way to know how long to make the tail of the slip knot for a scarf that I'm making about 5" long? I want to actually work it into the scarf while making it so that I don't have to try to work it in after I'm done. Great video by the way. Very helpful in getting started on making a scarf.
sweetthing213 5 inches is fine for the starting tail. You'll need to be careful when working your first couple of rows if you're working in the tail since in the beginning, it wants to fall off easier. :)
Thank you so much for these easy to follow directions and the little tips as being a super beginner. A lot of the other videos I’ve watched were a bit fast paced or left out intricate details. Thanks again!
Thank you so much honest, I have no looming, knitting or crocheting experience hence I was struggling because I had no insight on how to do it and well, first tutorial that I’ve come across that’s actually helped.
I noticed near the end of the video that you had problems with casting off. I suggest that you go to the video of Made With Love By Glama as she has a really good method of casting off. It will save you from a lot of frustration. The title of the video is "BEGINNERS: How To Loom Knit A Scarf" Made With Love By Glama. It is a brilliant video. Please watch this video as it will be of great help to you.
Thank you for taking the time to show us how to use this loom. Because of you I was able to finish my first scarf. The directions with the loom were confusing to me, but you made it easy to do.
You are a fantastic teacher. Very clear with so much patience and a relaxed voice. I bought my Loong Loom and the instructions are not clear. I wil try it now. Thank you.
I also like how you explained what to expect and watch out for, I had the same problem with the yarn being one on one peg and 2 yarns on the other side not realizing that is how it was suppose to be, Thanks for being very clear about everything.
As a beginner on this loom scarf, I kept on practicing each night,at first it was difficult and kept on repeating the same, each time i make mistake i would start over and over again until i finally got a hang of it it was really a challenge, so now i finally start my first one and will keep me doing more as winter is just around the corner, i thank you for sharing and what it takes to accomplish it is to be very very patience and it was worth the time and effort.
I love this video. I am using one of the looms I got for Christmas. I am making scarves and hats for men women and children in homeless shelters. I hope we get a hundred done.
I have a learning disability and I wanted to say thank you because your video really helped me to understand how to use the loom I bought. Thank you so much
I too have learned to loom knit from this video...thank you for being so helpful! Right now, I'm working with this same stitch to make a scarf, but I want it to be an infinity scarf. How can I attach the ends and make it look right?
What you'll need to do is something called grafting or kitchener stitch. Basically, you use a long tail to mimic a row of knitting. I don't have a video currently showing how to do that, but if you search for kitchener loom knitting, there are a lot that pop up so hopefully one of those work. :)
I was actually looking for something unique to be my hobby, handmade as well as help me to earn some money! Somehow I have reached this tutorial. It reminds me that a long time back, my mom did teach me knitting ( some basics)! This vdo did bring back my childhood memory. Now I'm thinking of starting back this childhood memoize. this may not be going to earn me any money, but for sure make me be occupied. Thanks =)
I love the way you explain how to make the scarf. I was able to finish my boyfriends scarf by following your video. I'm going to start making my son's hat now.
I do! This video shows how I weave the ends in on this type of scarf. I tend to weave in ends differently for different types of projects, but this way is the easiest, simplest way for me on these. :) ruclips.net/video/APboks_dWww/видео.html
I really appreciate your instructions. I too have a loop with instructions which are not easy to follow, neither are the pictures helpful. So thank you - I've now managed to get on with a small project - a child's scarf.
Thanks for your video im a biggner and I went to Walmart and bought me this and some yarn to learn and be relaxed or make me busy ...specially my mind I live in Puerto Rico and I got so anxious due to the earth shaking that was making me lose my mind even though i live far from the epicenter but i have felt it. Thankyou so much the direction I don't like what it says...and watching you made more easy. 👏😉👍
This video was amazing. I've never knitted before and wanted to start, so bought this loom and, like you said, the instructions were useless. I packed everything back up and was going to return it (and the yarn) back to the store and find some other hobby but thought, what the heck, let me see if there's an on-line video. Yours popped up first and I'm so glad it did. It was so easy to follow. You're amazing. Thanks so much !!!
I watched this video almost 4 years ago and I now have a handmade business. My first scarf took about a week to make, today it takes me only a few hours. 😀
How did you get it to an hour?
Alaskan Bull Worm - a few hours. Depends on the size I make. Cowls take about an hour and a straight 3” wide scarf takes about 2 hours
Goals, that's awesome!
WOW! What an Inspiration!
That's absolutely Fantastic!!!
How many pegs across are you using? It doesn’t look like you’re using the whole loom.
Thank you for your video. I have a wonderful Grandson who has a brain injury, and wanted to learn to knit.
We bought the loom and looked up your video. By our third lesson he was doing wonderfully. He finished
His first scarf and tomorrow we will be starting on a pillow cover. He has not been so excited and proud of
Himself for a long while. Thank you so much.
:D awesome
That's how I started loom knitting too...I had a concussion and needed something to do so I didn't lose my mind! I hope your grandson has recovered fully!
Wow 😮 that’s so sweet. God bless u both.

yes it was worse than horrible
I have watched this video dozens of times as I was learning/teaching myself. From the casting on (not all videos are correct - or worse, the the joys of creative editing, errors no longer exist) all the way to the easiest/neatest way to finish a project. Thank you!
Every other year I forgot how to use my loom and come back to watch this video (and others from your channel) to refresh my brain 😂
My 9 year old granddaughter got this as a Christmas present. She couldn’t understand the instructions in the box, found your video and now she’s well on her way to making her first scarf. Many thanks for sharing.
Thank you soooo much for this! I just bought a scarf loom and almost cried when I tried reading those horrible instruction . You are awesome! :)

Tip: When first casting on, tighten the tops back to the beginning. It will make that first edge look a ton better.
You are a life saver! I had bought this kit last night, this morning read through the directions and was frustrated with it and then tonight I said to myself "Lets find it on youtube!" the first video I watched was just terrible then I came across urs and BAM awesomeness and easy step by step instructions! TY soooooo much! now I can knit my bf a scarf this winter!
LittleSecretPlace Hope your bf likes the scarf!
Your voice is so soothing, almost saying "you can make this too!", thank you so much for this video as the instructions that come with these looms are completely useless! Glad I found you.

Yeah

I love the way you're explaining it because it's my first time
Zeena Sparkle me too. This video was so helpful to me. Thank you
that is a very cool loom. =) also very helpful are the Westcott Titanium Scissor and Lumiy Lightline LED Lamp. makes thing so much easier to work.
pimples poper
12:20 if you have thick yarn you can get use one strand but if you have thing use 2

I make a scarf every winter, and I always come back to your video. It's now nostalgic for me 😂
"So basically, you have to... Not do that." That sentence made my day. XDDD btw nice tutorial
Thanks! I'm glad I could make your day!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOF
@Tierney Sumner uh that was 6 years ago but okie
@Vika Solora ?
I work for Michael’s and bought the loom because I’m a dufus and can’t knit for sh**, and you’re so right! The instructions are HORRIBLE! You’ve saved my Christmas, thank you!! I’ll suggest this video to customers
You are my savior. I didn't understand the instructions from the pamphlet at all. Thank you.

But I did have the opportunity to go through plenty practice knitting without looming. I tend to drop a stitch and etc.. but watching your video definitely convinced me so today I'm going to Hobby Lobby to purchase 2 different looming. One for a scarf and one for a hat. I'll be looking out for more of your fabulous videos and thank you for sharing this video. Take care!
First time I finally understand how to deal with the end of the first row. Thanks !
i think this is the best loom knitting tutorial i have had seen so fast.
i felt it's complicated & i couldn't make anything.
but i think i will give it a try again. as ur tutorial is clear & fairly easy to follow. im pretty confident i could loom a scarf. thank u
Thanks for the clear instructions. Having difficulty binding off, but all in all enjoying the work. My Granddaughter gave me a Loom & got me hooked on it. I have been doing a lot of Crocheting
I have never knit anything before and found your instruction very helpful. I worked on my scarf on and off for four days and thanks to you I can knit now!
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful tutorial. Thank you for helping my daughter and I understand how to loom knit!
I'm glad I could help!

Thanks to you, I just made my first scarf. It's 8 pegs wide on either side and 6 feet long in Coyote Brown. I made it to go with a winter cap I made, also my first it that area. Your instructions made it super easy to do; after a while, I was looming out 2 or 3 layers a minute.
I've always used just one stand of yarn and they've always turned out great, but thanks for the idea of using 2 colors at the same time
I am from ethiopia. And i see all the videos.😊keep it up😊
Thank you! My dd got a knitting kit for Christmas and the instructions were terrible. She was going to town on it after watching your video and I may pick up a loom for myself now.
Jeffie Nicholson I'm glad she is so interested in it! I always like to hear that the next generation is into crafty things. It gives me hope! :)
I have been looming for about 6 years, but i always wondered how to loom the way you did in this example. I loved it. I did purchace a bigger loom set that had one long loom like you were showing on the example.
Your video makes so much more sense than the book that comes with it. I like the suggestion of using two colors because I tried it with one and it did not look as good.
Your video helped me to get started with scarves and I am halfway through completing a baby blanket for my niece using the largest loom in my second set of looms I purchased. Lion Brand and Bernat yarn companies owe you a great deal of credit for their recent sales increase from all the yarnhave purchased!! Head bands and hats are next on my list!! Plus I am getting my other niece a loom set for Christmas this year!! Thank you so much!!!
You inspired me to start my homemade merch with my loom, thank you so much !your a special person who inspired me! 😁
What are you making?
This video is amazing. I have never knit anything in my life. I bought a loom a couple weeks ago, and finally made my very first scarf. It turned out amazing. Thank you for this video. It was extremely easy to follow your directions.
Who's watching first before practicing to avoid making a mistake?ME
Me👋🏾👋🏾
Thank you for this video. I have watched it several times in the past week as I sit in the hospital recuperating from covid. I just finished my first scarf.
Loved the video! Thank you for taking the time to make it.
You're welcome and thank you! :)
I can knit a basic scarf the traditional way but I bought a loom set thinking it might be fun (and hopefully I could figure out how to make hats too). The directions were so frustrating. A neighbor felt the same way and gave me her looms too. So I've had a dozen of the things sitting here collecting dust until your tutorial. I think I "get it" now. Thank you! LoL :)
Hi I just subscribed and I really like how you are very interactive with your subscribers. A lot of bigger accounts do the same things you do but don't really answer questions a viewer might have. Thumbs up for you!
Thank you! I bought this blasted kit and was so excited to start using the loom, and the directions made NO SENSE! I was trying to decide whether to return everything when I thought I'd look here to see if anyone had better instructions. Thank you for taking the time to post this; you should be getting financial kickbacks from the company lol.
You have helped me so much! Thank you for the very detailed and easy to understand instructions. Looking forward to making some nice Christmas scarves for my family. Keep up the great work!
I recently bought on of the rectangular looms. I totally agree about the directions. HORRIBLE. The way you demonstrated I totally got it. I plan to teach my high school students with special needs to make their own scarves. Thanks so much. Wanda
+Wanda G Sullivan Happy I could help!
Mia, I'm unable to reply directly to your comment so I hope you check back and see this.
Bulky weight yarn is about equal to two strands of worsted weight (what I used) so you shouldn't have any problems there. You might need to look at the yardage of the skein. If you want a longer scarf, you might need another skein. With bulky yarn it wouldn't take long to work up so I'd give it a try and see how you like it!

Is there a way to know how long to make the tail of the slip knot for a scarf that I'm making about 5" long? I want to actually work it into the scarf while making it so that I don't have to try to work it in after I'm done. Great video by the way. Very helpful in getting started on making a scarf.
sweetthing213 5 inches is fine for the starting tail. You'll need to be careful when working your first couple of rows if you're working in the tail since in the beginning, it wants to fall off easier. :)
Thanks. I got it working well now. I made sure that the first few rows didn't fall off at all. :)

Thank you so much for these easy to follow directions and the little tips as being a super beginner. A lot of the other videos I’ve watched were a bit fast paced or left out intricate details. Thanks again!
Thank you so much the instructions were impossible 😀
Thank you so much honest, I have no looming, knitting or crocheting experience hence I was struggling because I had no insight on how to do it and well, first tutorial that I’ve come across that’s actually helped.
Wow! I love this video and so did my little sis! THANKS!!!!!
My husband surprised me with this for Christmas and it's my FAVORITE present. You explain things so well... thank you!!
I noticed near the end of the video that you had problems with casting off. I suggest that you go to the video of Made With Love By Glama as she has a really good method of casting off. It will save you from a lot of frustration. The title of the video is "BEGINNERS: How To Loom Knit A Scarf" Made With Love By Glama. It is a brilliant video. Please watch this video as it will be of great help to you.
June Brown I ruined a scarf I worked on for days because the casting off instructions were not great.
June Brown I just saw her video... you are right
Thank you for taking the time to show us how to use this loom. Because of you I was able to finish my first scarf. The directions with the loom were confusing to me, but you made it easy to do.
Thanks for sharing helps me understand as I am a visual learner
You are a fantastic teacher. Very clear with so much patience and a relaxed voice. I bought my Loong Loom and the instructions are not clear. I wil try it now. Thank you.
thank you so much, i have one of these and it was my first time and i watched this and now i made 8
Thank you for doing a video and explaining it better than the instructions. So much easier to understand. Can't wait to make my scarf!
This is great! Thanks a lot for the instructions, it really helped.
I'm a beginner watching this thousands of times is very new
Thank you for making this! It's exactly what I needed!
I also like how you explained what to expect and watch out for, I had the same problem with the yarn being one on one peg and 2 yarns on the other side not realizing that is how it was suppose to be, Thanks for being very clear about everything.
tamia11 falanna No problem!
Fun!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOF
As a beginner on this loom scarf, I kept on practicing each night,at first it was difficult and kept on repeating the same, each time i make mistake i would start over and over again until i finally got a hang of it it was really a challenge, so now i finally start my first one and will keep me doing more as winter is just around the corner, i thank you for sharing and what it takes to accomplish it is to be very very patience and it was worth the time and effort.
Leonor Conlon It does take a little bit to get the knack of it, but once you've done your first one, all the rest get so much easier! :)
this video was a great help. Thank you
You're welcome! Thanks so much for watching!
I am so glad you explained how to tie it all up...
My dilemma rn
Can you do it with a blanket? I don't know how to make a blanket with it
Yes. You can do a blanket. I've done one for a bed before. I had to buy big bundles of yarn and use the full loom.
I love this video. I am using one of the looms I got for Christmas. I am making scarves and hats for men women and children in homeless shelters. I hope we get a hundred done.
It was perfect until the end. You didn’t show how to weave in the yarn and knot.
Trina Reeves exactly
I have a learning disability and I wanted to say thank you because your video really helped me to understand how to use the loom I bought. Thank you so much
I too have learned to loom knit from this video...thank you for being so helpful! Right now, I'm working with this same stitch to make a scarf, but I want it to be an infinity scarf. How can I attach the ends and make it look right?
What you'll need to do is something called grafting or kitchener stitch. Basically, you use a long tail to mimic a row of knitting. I don't have a video currently showing how to do that, but if you search for kitchener loom knitting, there are a lot that pop up so hopefully one of those work. :)

I was actually looking for something unique to be my hobby, handmade as well as help me to earn some money! Somehow I have reached this tutorial. It reminds me that a long time back, my mom did teach me knitting ( some basics)! This vdo did bring back my childhood memory. Now I'm thinking of starting back this childhood memoize. this may not be going to earn me any money, but for sure make me be occupied. Thanks =)
your description of the easy nenting
I love the way you explain how to make the scarf. I was able to finish my boyfriends scarf by following your video. I'm going to start making my son's hat now.
Love this video! Do you have another to show how to weave in?
I do! This video shows how I weave the ends in on this type of scarf. I tend to weave in ends differently for different types of projects, but this way is the easiest, simplest way for me on these. :) ruclips.net/video/APboks_dWww/видео.html

Loop crochet
I really appreciate your instructions. I too have a loop with instructions which are not easy to follow, neither are the pictures helpful. So thank you - I've now managed to get on with a small project - a child's scarf.
+Ingrid Tavkar Yay! One scarf down and a bunch more to go! They are a bit addictive, I think! :)
This was so helpful thank you
Morey Rodriquez Happy to help!
CraftingWithClaudie yeah keep making more please their awesome and I love them and can you make a hooded vest
Morey Rodriquez I'll have to think about how that one would work because of the shaping needed. Thanks for the suggestion!
Your welcome I just would llve to make it but dont know how
Hello. First time watching and you made it look easy, so I subscribed!
The one thing I would have liked to see was when you knotted it off
how long does your yarn have to be.
I watched this a few years ago. And, now I'm able to make a scarf for donation in a fairly short time. Thanks for sharing this knowledge.. 🤗🤗
Can I do this on a rainbow loom with the middle pegs out?
yeah you can i don't have a loom so I used a rainbow loom 😂
Jenny Marie Sure can! Once you do that, you're basically left with the same setup as the loom I have.
Yes you can i tried it same thing
I think u can because it will be about the same
Jenny Marie 👌👏👏👏 Great idea!
Thanks for your video im a biggner and I went to Walmart and bought me this and some yarn to learn and be relaxed or make me busy ...specially my mind I live in Puerto Rico and I got so anxious due to the earth shaking that was making me lose my mind even though i live far from the epicenter but i have felt it. Thankyou so much the direction I don't like what it says...and watching you made more easy. 👏😉👍
Nothing makes me have more anger issues than knitting in learning how to knit
This video was amazing. I've never knitted before and wanted to start, so bought this loom and, like you said, the instructions were useless. I packed everything back up and was going to return it (and the yarn) back to the store and find some other hobby but thought, what the heck, let me see if there's an on-line video. Yours popped up first and I'm so glad it did. It was so easy to follow. You're amazing. Thanks so much !!!
