Excited to pick up my loom this week. I have taught myself to crochet and knit, but I think i am going to go back to the loom for a while. I think the projects go faster and i also think the come out a little neater at least for me. I'm getting more yarn today and will start again might have to refresh my memory on how to get started. This will be a good place to start. I like how the yarn stays with pegs. I know they can pop off but I don't remember dropping stitches like I did needle knitting fighting with straight edges like I do with crochet.
This was the best instruction on beginning loom. Reason: 1.) the pace was easy to follow . 2.) the yarn color was distinctive enough to see what your doing. 3.) Notes provided gave me a lead to what is the next step. Some terms you used I did not know but I knit so I was able to grasp your meaning.
Have been working on a scarf using this stitch... love it! It’s an easy stitch and it works up fast! Thank you for the video and pattern! I added photos on your Facebook group.
I started a temperature blanket Jan 1, 2020 using this stitch. As I am only 5 rows in I can’t really see how it is looking, but love the look of the example shown in the video.
Ok, I have found the perfect stitch for my grandson's blanket! Thank goodness for my 5/8 gauge S Loom chain casted on 188 pegs with lions brand hometown USA Cincinnati red, u knit first row for row. Now here is my question after all the prep. Will I mess anything up if I don't knit off BO1 until the end of the row so I know where I left off? I plan on leaving both loops on peg 1 but still EWYO on peg 2 to the end. I don't see it making a difference but if any of the pattern testers have tried, I'd rather learn sooner than later. Thank you in advance....Lani
Ok. I'm beginner to all of this. First project is mens napping blanket using infinity loom. Using 5 yarn and I'm doing what I think is a basket weave. I know it looks lousy but its my first time. Most of the videos show a stitch going one direction but not the reverse direction (or even row). This is the first video I've seen where you actually show how row 1 is done and then how row 2 is done. Same stitch but if you don't know where the lead yarn is supposed to fall on the peg when the stitch is completed, your work suffers. For instance, if I'm doing a purl stitch going to the left, the lead yarn falls on the left side of the peg when finished. If I'm going to the right, the lead yarn falling on the right when finished looks like thin lines of yarn. If I'm going to the right bit leave the lead yarn on the left side of the peg when finished with the stitch, the finished look appears fuller and matches the look of the knit stitches. I love your teaching style and I love how you show the work going in both directions. Excellent for us new to any kind of knitting, much less loom knitting.
This is such a beautiful stitch! I'm going to try it for my next scarf, but in the round and connecting the two ends infinity style with #4 baby yarn and a smaller guage loom. Wish me luck! Edit: oh wait, you said it can't be done in the round? Because you need the back and forth to get the pattern? 😒
Is there a blanket tutorial for this? I can’t read the patterns yet. I have a dozen different looms. Can this be made on an infinity loom? This pattern is absolutely beautiful and would make the PRETTIEST blanket.
This is such a beautiful stitch! I made a scarf, keeping the tension loose...and it's curling into a little tube. :-( It's not flat and lovely like yours. How can I fix this?
Emily Henderson try steam blocking or wet blocking. If it’s acrylic a run through a washer should help. Pin out to block with rust free pins. See my wet blocking video for more help. Some yarns just curl more but blocking helps.
Love the pattern, had tested it with several kinds of thread already. However, I don't think I can figure the proper way to increase-decrease with this stitch, so that the pattern looks neat and consistent, and no 'ladders' appear on the edge. Any ideas?
Lydia DeLay It doesn’t work in the round unless you sew the edges together. BUT! I’m a few weeks you’ll see the sister stitch and it can be made in the round or flat. I’ll have a hat pattern for that one. Yay!
This is really beautiful and I really want to try this however your tutorials are difficult to follow? Have you watched Tuteate? Their vids are simple step by step instructions with no voice over, very clean and very simple.
People have different teaching styles. I am myself and teach so you will learn more. I have more learning based tutorials than project based. Their videos are fine for people who enjoy that and do a fine job. I will continue being myself. It has worked since 2011.
@@GoodKnitKisses I think you both began in 2011 and their videos have 40,000,000 more views. Perhaps incorporating a series of project based videos for those like me, who are a big fan of your patterns but require step by step visuals.
@@dukesofhzzrd05 I also don’t speak two languages and submit videos in those other markets with subtitles in Spanish (which gets much of the uptick in the views they are that you are referring).

I went to your Amazon store and bought what I thought was the same merino yarn but what I got is about as wide as dental floss, not a #4 like what you have in the video. It says #4 on it but it's a #3 at best. Gah I wish there was an industry standard! So annoying! I only have one skein so I can't do a double strand. :(
This is one of my favorite go-to scarf and cowl projects to make for gifts. ❤ Thank you!
I have never tried loom knitting and am fascinated by it. This video alone makes me want to try it. The cowl is beautiful!!!!
Great teacher👌💝❤️🙏
I might try this sisal pattern soon😍
Absolutely love this stitch! One of my all time favorites! Thank you❤
Two Snaps - Loving it ! ! !
LoomaHat.com Thank you so much Denise!! 😍❤️❤️
Love this stitch pattern. Love when I find new stitches to use. You always have awesome patterns and stitches.

So beautiful and yet so simple it’s awesome!
Thank you sooo much! Oh my goodknits it’s so simple. You won’t believe the follow up stitch to this one, too!!
GoodKnitKisses Now in the live video that was posted on FB, that I caught the replay of you say that this can only be done as a flat panel correct?

Beautiful!
Love it! Can't wait to try this out!
Chandra McKeehan Thank you so much! 😍💕
I have loved this stitch from day one. Would it be too thick for a hat and is there a video on how to work it in the round like for a hat.
Fantastic!
B ? Thank you so much!
This is such a beautiful stitch!

Is there a blanket tutorial for this? I can’t read the patterns yet. I have a dozen different looms. Can this be made on an infinity loom? This pattern is absolutely beautiful and would make the PRETTIEST blanket.
Tried it, but the stitches are much farther apart. The yarnovers look like gaps instead of swirls. What am I doing wrong?
Would this stitch be possible for a hat on an even numbered loom ?
This is such a beautiful stitch! I made a scarf, keeping the tension loose...and it's curling into a little tube. :-( It's not flat and lovely like yours. How can I fix this?
Emily Henderson try steam blocking or wet blocking. If it’s acrylic a run through a washer should help. Pin out to block with rust free pins. See my wet blocking video for more help. Some yarns just curl more but blocking helps.
Can you make a pillow cover with this? If yes, can you make a video? 😄
Phyllis higgins yes! You could totally use for a pillow ❤️ What a great idea!!
Love the pattern, had tested it with several kinds of thread already. However, I don't think I can figure the proper way to increase-decrease with this stitch, so that the pattern looks neat and consistent, and no 'ladders' appear on the edge. Any ideas?
You are like sugar.. and I liked your video 😘
Could you do this stitch as a hat? I love this stitch!
Lydia DeLay It doesn’t work in the round unless you sew the edges together. BUT! I’m a few weeks you’ll see the sister stitch and it can be made in the round or flat. I’ll have a hat pattern for that one. Yay!
GoodKnitKisses awesome!
Keep me posted to when a pattern for a hat comes available and if it does for a CW loom or boye loom.

What is the best way to join panels together to make this into a blanket?
Beautiful!! What loom is this?
Rose Stolarz Thank you! This is the knitting board premium chunky loom. I have links for all on the blog ☺️☺️
If you wanted to use this stitch in a pattern could how would you decrease and keep the pattern?
Would it be good for a blanket?
What size yarn?
I went to your Amazon store and bought what I thought was the same merino yarn but what I got is about as wide as dental floss, not a #4 like what you have in the video. It says #4 on it but it's a #3 at best. Gah I wish there was an industry standard! So annoying! I only have one skein so I can't do a double strand. :(
Can you do a blanket in this stitch
Beautiful stitch. Can I use infinity loom to make blanket and just make sure I use even number of pegs?
Catherine Santaiti yes that’s correct. ☺️
@@GoodKnitKisses thanks so much. Your videos are fabulous.
Would this work for a fingerless glove?
Can this be done around?
Could this be done in the round for a cowl?
Do you know of a double rake blanket stitch that would be for a man
😍😍😍😍😍😍👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
كوثر العوامي ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌷🌷🌷🌷
If you dont have that particular loom what can you substitute ?
You can use whatever loom you want. Just use a yarn weight appropriate for your loom gauge.
Thank you!
