I had bought this exact loom for my mom for Xmas 2020. She was suffering from cirrhosis nonalcoholic and non heptatic. She was drained the sun before Xmas was given the covid 19 shot the 23rd and it was like someone had flipped a switch with her and she passed away new years eve. Never once got to use it. I made a goal to make some type of blanket with it and found this video. I am making an awesome blanket everytime I feel sad. I can't wait to finish it... thank you... this has been a life saver
I love your tutorials. So easy to follow and well worded. I have books and can find patterns but often am confused by wording in them. You have greatly helped me understand what they actually meant and get better at loom knitting. Thank you!😁 Can't wait to see how this turns out.
I just bought the kb 28" loom a couple of weeks ago. I found this video and it inspired me to try making a blanket using this pattern.It's so easy! Thank you so much! ❤
Aloha, Bravo to GoodKnitKisses...I love this soft material yarn....I made this blanket for a 1 year old child for her birthday gift...this is the first time ever I had knit on a All-n-One Loom...thank you so much for sharing this video on loom knitting...I love it very much...Mahalo
Oh the is wonderful Ruth! :-) I'd love to see a photo before you give it away; If you'll tag me on social media #goodknitkisses that would be lovely. So glad you are enjoying it! -Kristen
I've just started loom knitting and your video tutorial is great. The pace and content were just right for me and, and your instructions were crystal clear from start to finish. Thank you x
JesusSaves RunningRaven oh that’s fantastic!! I secretly want all needle knitters to jump on the knitting board for double knitting. It’s so much easier!! Heehee. Thanks for your sweet comment. HAVE FUN! ❤️❤️❤️
So glad you made this video. It really helps me understand the free pattern from KB's website better. I just got my Lion Brand Homespun yarn order 2 days ago (colour #336, Barrington...Lion Brand had a five for $10 yarn sale and even with shipping and exchange, I saved $ importing to Canada), my KB 28" loom arrived yesterday, and I started making this as soon as I got the loom set up...I was just itching to get started! I've already got more than 12" done...it goes fast once you get the hang of it! I love the look of this afghan and the Lion Brand Homespun yarn comes in so many pretty colours to make it in!
Welcome to your new addiction. These afghans are so much fun to make. I'm in the process of making one for one of my great nieces in the color Gemstone. It's my 6th one I think. I have made over a dozen afghans with the 28" kb loom.
Thank you so much! I have a huge supply of the Lion Brand Homespun back from the Hobby Lobby Clearance (got them all for $1.29/skein) and I knew I wanted to make a blanket, just wasn't sure **how** I wanted to do it. I was going to crochet it, but then discovered loom knitting, and now I'm thinking that's what I'm going to use! Thank you for this tutorial!
Kia ora from Aotearoa, New Zealand. Wow, thank you so much for sharing your beautiful work. You took the dauntness out of me wanting to learn the wonderful craft & you explained it so well that you even held my attention till the end, lol. Any hu, I've just ordered me a loom & can't wait to start my 1st loom blanket, I only wish I could find that same yarn or something very close in colour. Hope my message finds you & your family well ❤
Hey, I know this is an old post, but I wanted to extend my 28in loom all the way out and make a big flat panel blanket, but it honestly intimidated me and made me think it would take forever! Do u have any tips for me? Like I dont know how to cast on using each individual peg, unlike just using it the this video does. Any help would be very much appreciated! Thanks and have a Blessed Day!
I'm glad I saw this video because I think it is solving a problem I am having with the 28-inch KB loom. I started a shawl with Bernat Velvet yarn, but twice now (and only halfway through the shawl) I have had to release the loops on one rake and release the tension on the middle of the rakes because the yarn was pulling the two rakes so close that I could no longer get my finger or the hook between the two rakes. I suspected the problem was that I chose to use the smallest dividers on the ends. I tried REALLY hard to keep the weave around the pegs very loose, but it didn't help. Eventually the knitting became too tight and pulled the rakes together. After seeing this video, I believe using that smallest edge on the dividers was a big mistake. I should use the widest side just as you have. If you have any other correction I could make, I would appreciate hearing it!!! Love your videos!! I have stopped working on this shawl because I got too discouraged. Removing all the loops this last time has created a big mess and I can't find my way back to a level row.
I have never knitted before. I bought the kb 28" board and it comes with extenders. I was wondering if I can use those to make it wider? I wasn't sure if it would mess it up. I already started this blanket and it isn't very wide but I was wondering for my next one. Thanks
hey!! I love your tutorial and how well you explain things. I am about 4" in on my first blanket but I have a question--how will this end up being 45"x60"? it's not getting any wider as I go. Thank you!!!!!
@@GoodKnitKisses I wanted to know the answer to that question also. You didn't answer the question. :( How does the blanket end up being nearly twice the width of the loom? Is it because it is a small gauge loom and a stretchy stitch? Is it because of the stitch itself - it widens out after being removed from the loom?
@@jeanjaz I did this same pattern with the same yarn in a scarf. When I finished, the scarf was about 3 times wider. Between the specific yarn and the double knit stitch combination, it will be much wider.
@@ramygeo4624 oh wow! Thanks! I'm still new to loom knitting and I've only done one pattern - a winter scarf - in double knit in a really soft baby yarn or sport weight yarn. Just plain knitting, no fancy set up or anything. :). I had to switch from crocheting because of my hands - couldn't hold my tension anymore. I'm simply amazed at what you can make on a loom (I have about 10 looms now, diff sizes, shapes, and gauges.) I've done regular knitting (not double knitting) baby booties, hats, scarves, and I'm working on a baby blanket with a border right now. My sis wants me to make a "head wrap" and sent me a picture of one you could buy, but she can't wear acrylics or some natural wools. I may try bamboo - never tried that before.
@@jeanjaz me too! I just started a couple months ago but I've made lots of scarves and hats for friends. I'm working on this afghan right now. I love this!!
thanks for sharing this beautiful tutorial with us. the blanket is very pretty. I am planning to buy this loom. I would like to learn how of watching your tutorial video. Thank you again!
Remember that 28 inches wide becomes about 45 inches wide. I love this loom made my mom a beautiful blanket with figure 8 and 2 cm width with bernat blanket yarn
I am so ok excited to start! how lovely! my hands don't knit or crochet anymore but I am certain this will allow me my yarn craft again! thank you so 'm very much! your instructions are very easy to follow as well! your video has brightened my day...and many days ahead! 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹Honey 🐝Bunny 🐰!!

Hi, I've had my eye on this project for a long time! I'm kind of new at loom knitting, I've started projects and they just never looked right. I have now learned that it was the videos I've tried to follow. So anyways I know this is an old video. I'm doing this project right now, I'm using homespun in gothic (my friends favorite color is purple) I'm making her a wheelchair blanket, she has an amputated leg. So I'm going to make the fringe shorter so it won't get stuck in the wheels, but instead of doing the top and bottom, I was going to do the bottom and sides with some fringe. My question is... do I still do the same bind off if I'm not putting fringe there? I hope you see my question. I love your videos btw and I think your a great teacher!!
Mind is blown. Ok I must have been in the dark or something. I have been crocheting for years and I tried knitting but just never could get the hang of it. I have seen these in the store but never really looked at them or seen what there about, but I'm liking this way of knitting and will definitely give this a try.
The longest loom I have is 22 inches. If my blanket doesn’t come out wide enough, can I attach it to another section of blanket that I loom? To make it wider?
What is the reason behind working a row or side from the outside to the middle and then starting on the opposite side working towards the middle again to complete that row instead of completing it from left all the way through to the right (or the opposite, from right to left all the way through)?
Tension. It was recommended by the loom maker which is also the pattern writer. They usually recommend this but on larger soft yarns like this I haven’t seen it make much difference. Good question.
@GoodKnitKisses thank you for your quock reply! I loomed as a child, double knit stockinette only and didn't have a problem just working from 1 side to the other, then turning and completing the 2nd side in the same way; now, my strip comes out curved (the turning end during wrapping seens to be longer)? I have seen in other tutorials they secure the last wrapped stich by knitting it first stitch, then go to the opposite row (rake), knitting it from 1 side to the other and then completing the remaining rake, it seems to help but my last swatch is uneven in 1 corner. Any other advice on tention and even measuring fabric as result? I am trying to watch many different videos to see what is the correct way, also on cast on and off. I did order you book (very exited about it!) but will only deliver in a few days.
Trying to find information on how to use the knitting peg board to make jumpers and cardigans ~ but can find any thing to show start to finish!! Please can you help?
I prefer the figure 8 cast on because it looks similar to the cast off row. And its easier to tighten the cast on so you don't need to to finish with a crochet hook.
The one I am making seems like it will be a few inches longer on each side. So if your loom is 28 inches, it will probably end up being about 34 inches wide (give or take cause I'm not quite half way done. I wasn't sure if I was going to just give it to my son when I get done or make another one and knit them together to make a bigger blanket. Hope this helps some. Good luck! Btw, if anyone knows how to post pictures let me know and I'll post what I've gotten done so far. 💜
Annette R on a regular stockinette (flat panel) it will roll. This is a double sided stockinette fabric and won't roll. Are you sure you did it this way?
Annette R oh! I wanted to add that the fringe should help too. But for regular stockinette, that is worked on one side back and forth, it's nature is to curl. I have a helpful article on curling on goodknitkisses.com for a longer discussion to troubleshoot and solve that issue.
Brand new KB loom and looms fine until I get to about 6 or sevens passes and the. It starts “shrinking” in the middle of the board. Board narrows dramatically in the middle. Have started over several times but happened every time. Any ideas what’s going on?
Hey there! I was getting ready to buy one of the figure 8 looms. When you do a flat panel blanket on it how wide does it end up being? Because I want to make a blanket that will fit close to my Queen size bed. Thank you so much!
Thanks so much for this. Question. How do you do a single knit stockinette on this type of loom? I've got a thicker yarn and feel it doesn't need the double knit or double sides.
had quick question. I have a 62 peg boye long loom do you think I can use this.. I'm pretty sure it's a 22 in loom. really like this blanket. would like to make it so curious if it will work for me on my loom? let me know thanks!
How does a 28 inch loom produce a 40 something wide blanket? Sorry if that’s a silly question. I’ve never used a loom before and will be attempting this blanket on a 24 inch loom for a toddlers blanket.
It’s due to the weight (the gauge size) of the yarn, the stitch type, and how far it’s set from both boards (the spacing 1cm, 2cm, 3cm). So depending on those variants it can change how large or small, stretchy or stuff, and width of the panel you get. It’s always recommended to test a small swatch to see how it behaves in different yarns, stitches and settings on the loom for projects You can measure your stitches in the swatch and figure out how many stitches to cast on for larger panels by some basic math. I do have some calculators on my website that can help. They mostly apply to flat panels but you can apply them to double knitting.
Very nice vid, love the overview first. If I make a shawl with this, thus narrower, can I sew a couple of buttons on one end and button thru the knitting or do I have to make a buttonhole? THanks in advance!
momisapilot yes you can make it narrow for a scarf. The buttonhole really depends on the button you get. If you want to use an existing button in your stash I'd work up your scarf for about 12" and then check it going through. You'll know then what size to buy to use something available or could make a buttonhole if needed.
Thank you so much for replying so quickly! I bought the Homespun Thick and Quick and sorry I did - it's really difficult and going every 4th peg...will be room for a button there!
Where can I get a loom like this? My pegs on the infinity loom are further apart. Also how many skiens of yarn did you use? This is a great project and how to video... thanks!!!🤩
Link for pattern with yarn & loom info is above plus more if you nee more info. But it was 7 skeins. here is a link to get the loom. :-) Have fun! www.amazon.com/dp/B00DEZLKLQ/?cv_ct_id=amzn1.idea.3JWT48ZI4IVQA&cv_ct_pg=storefront&cv_ct_wn=aip-storefront&ref=exp_cov_goodknitkisses_lv_dp_vv_d
So I am new to using a loom and I love this pattern but already have several skeins of yarn that I would like to use but of smaller weight (4). Would I still keep the spacing at 3cm or make the spacing smaller?
I would make it 1 or 2 cm. I suggest testing a swatch with 1cm with 12-20 pairs of pegs and knit about 4-6 inches first. That will likely work the best. If you feel like the fabric is too dense or still then go up to the 2cm. I haven’t worked that one in a while so I’d have to test but the 2cm might be too loose but depends on the yarn.
I would like your advise for which loom to purchase. I like the tighter knits and want to make blankets and throw but would like the versatility to making smaller items also - not hats. What would you suggest?
Could these panels be joined side by side to create a wider piece? If so, how would you do that? Thank you in advance and thank you for all your great tutorials!
I'm working on this project now and I've noticed the loom is starting to "bow" in the middle. I feel like I have had consistent tension (maybe too tight?) And I'm alternating my knitting over just like you showed in your video. I'm about 4in into the blanket. Should I unravel and start over? I'm worried about doing this with the fluffiness of the yarn. Or can I relax my tension and have it even out?
I have used the regular rectangular loom for figure 8 stitch do I cast on and off the same way A rectangular are not round looms or am I missing something. This loom is very $$$ but I think I will like it. What are the dimensions of a baby blanket up to 6 months If I have this will I need to buy round looms like from 24 peg to 42 peg.
I don’t understand the anchor yarn. I see how you incorporated it and what you did at the end... but why? I’ve never seen it done before. Is it solely for tightening up the beginning of the blanket? Thank you in advance.
Would you need a wider/longer loom, if you wanted to make the same blanket 60 or 70 inches wide. I would like to make a blanket like this to fit a standard twin or queen size bed. Is this practical??
I am new to loom knitting and excited to give this blanket pattern a try. Can you tell me approximately how wide the finished blanket will be if I use the 28 inch loom. I am assuming that I can make it as long as I want. ...Thank you
Does anyone have the same issue I am having when I pulling the bottom yarn over the yarn is every lose. I wondering do I kept going or do I restart it and try to make it tighter or should I keep going and hopefully prey that it will tighten up
Beautiful blanket, I can’t wait to try it. Is it okay to use worsted weight yarn as long as you double up(Caron soft) how do you feel about Bernat blanket yarn? Is it doable as well?
Hello Kristen, I am fixing to try this blanket but no fringe. My question is, I want to use 1 strand of #3 baby yarn...would it be better to use a smaller spacer (1cm) between the rails for that size yarn?
I've been trying to get the cast on of this type of stitch and I was wondering if u can do a slower video on this kind of stitch i get messed up on the cast on and my opposite end comes off....Help
@@GoodKnitKisses In your info it says this will be approx 45 by 60. How on earth will it be 45 wide with a 28 in loom? Is that a typo? I m making this now and I don't know what to expect!
@@lessons9745 that’s a great question. It’s actually due to the 3cm spacer setting and then paired with the stitch used, which is stretchy width wise, it makes for a nice fabric that is indeed wider than the board used to knit it on. Not all stitches will behave like this of course.
@@GoodKnitKisses ok, I am using the same exact yarn and the same stitch, so hoping it will be approx 45 by 60.. that would perfect. I will put up a photo later on fb or meWe. 😊
I just clicked your link to the yarn Windsor it is a really light blue it came up in Amazon it's not the same color as yours please help because I want the color that you have
Hey there! First off, I just want to say thank you for your videos! I'm new to knitting and I just bought the Kb 28in loom and at first I was going to extend it all the way out and make a flat panel blanket, but that was a little intimidating for my first loom project so I'm trying the one in your video now. I'm a few rows in and I'm enjoying it, but I was just wondering 2 things. How long did it take you to make this blanket? And the other question is, I seen a picture of one you were doing using almost all of the pegs, how long would it take to make a flat panel blanket using all of the pegs? Cause to me when I started trying that it just seemed to take forever. Thanks for all of your help!
Ok, also I need help please! I'm about 1 third of the way of being finished and I noticed that my stitches dont match, and by that I mean one the sides of the blanket my stitches are a lot looser and in the middle and perfect stitches. Nice and tight. How do I fix it so my stitches aren't loose and the edges? I know this is an old post so I hope I get a reply. Thank you so much!!
@@kasmj11 You might just be wrapping tighter in the middle part of the loom. Not having the same tension. Are you using a tension guide? (a heavy straw, or gutted pen)

Any other advice on tention and even measuring fabric as result? I am trying to watch many different videos to see what is the correct way, also on cast on and off. I did order you book (very exited about it!) but will only deliver in a few days.
Love Love Love this video! So easy peasy with beautiful results!!!
Janice Cox thank! So glad you love it 💗💗💗
Could I use any yarn for this pattern or does it have to be this exact yarn
Trying to find information on how to use the knitting peg board to make jumpers and cardigans ~ but can find any thing to show start to finish!! Please can you help?
Can this be done on Martha Stewart loom? How many pegs will that need then ?
Is the middle string necessary for it to be in the middle or is that optional
I prefer the figure 8 cast on because it looks similar to the cast off row. And its easier to tighten the cast on so you don't need to to finish with a crochet hook.
Mallori Kerr sounds great! Patterns are just suggestions. 😉
Do you think this pattern could be done on their s loom
Hi so im trying this kit out and i accidentaly made the middle peices get way to close together and im not sure how to make it wide agian?
Here is the video you need for help. ruclips.net/video/27yWois-84k/видео.html
How big is the blanket knitted from the 28" loom?
The one I am making seems like it will be a few inches longer on each side. So if your loom is 28 inches, it will probably end up being about 34 inches wide (give or take cause I'm not quite half way done. I wasn't sure if I was going to just give it to my son when I get done or make another one and knit them together to make a bigger blanket. Hope this helps some. Good luck!
Btw, if anyone knows how to post pictures let me know and I'll post what I've gotten done so far. 💜
@@kasmj11 I love that you actually respond to questions
Beautiful piece and very clear instructions. Thank you!!
great blanket. I've done this stitch before and it rolled in the end. it's there something that I can do so this doesn't happen?
Annette R on a regular stockinette (flat panel) it will roll. This is a double sided stockinette fabric and won't roll. Are you sure you did it this way?
Annette R oh! I wanted to add that the fringe should help too. But for regular stockinette, that is worked on one side back and forth, it's nature is to curl. I have a helpful article on curling on goodknitkisses.com for a longer discussion to troubleshoot and solve that issue.
Thank you
Loved this blanket. I have so many projects, but have no time to learn to loom knit quite yet. BTW, the crochet hook is a 10.5/K or a 6.5 mm hook :)
Jaclyn Maracle Thank you! 😊
What width would a blanket be if done on the 18" KB loom?
Brand new KB loom and looms fine until
I get to about 6 or sevens passes and the. It starts “shrinking” in the middle of the board. Board narrows dramatically in the middle. Have started over several times but happened every time. Any ideas what’s going on?
How do I keep my loom middle part from pulling together.? I don’t feel like I’m pulling it any harder in the middle that I am on the ends of the loom.
Oh interesting! I use a figure 8 stich pattern when looming on the long loom. That's cool that you can do other patterns!
Hey there! I was getting ready to buy one of the figure 8 looms. When you do a flat panel blanket on it how wide does it end up being? Because I want to make a blanket that will fit close to my Queen size bed. Thank you so much!
Thanks so much for this.
Question. How do you do a single knit stockinette on this type of loom? I've got a thicker yarn and feel it doesn't need the double knit or double sides.
How many skeins of yarn did you use? Thank you! Have a very blessed weekend.
I have been looking for loom videos thanks
Wth, how did you g er t all that off the loom?
Help
Your awesome at this..
had quick question. I have a 62 peg boye long loom do you think I can use this.. I'm pretty sure it's a 22 in loom. really like this blanket. would like to make it so curious if it will work for me on my loom? let me know thanks!
I'm using a 60 peg plastic boye long loom that I got from Wal-Mart it's 28 inches and I'm following this video step for step and so far so good
How does a 28 inch loom produce a 40 something wide blanket? Sorry if that’s a silly question. I’ve never used a loom before and will be attempting this blanket on a 24 inch loom for a toddlers blanket.
It’s due to the weight (the gauge size) of the yarn, the stitch type, and how far it’s set from both boards (the spacing 1cm, 2cm, 3cm). So depending on those variants it can change how large or small, stretchy or stuff, and width of the panel you get. It’s always recommended to test a small swatch to see how it behaves in different yarns, stitches and settings on the loom for projects You can measure your stitches in the swatch and figure out how many stitches to cast on for larger panels by some basic math. I do have some calculators on my website that can help. They mostly apply to flat panels but you can apply them to double knitting.
GoodKnitKisses thank you!! ❤️
Very nice vid, love the overview first.
If I make a shawl with this, thus narrower, can I sew a couple of buttons on one end and button thru the knitting or do I have to make a buttonhole? THanks in advance!
momisapilot yes you can make it narrow for a scarf. The buttonhole really depends on the button you get. If you want to use an existing button in your stash I'd work up your scarf for about 12" and then check it going through. You'll know then what size to buy to use something available or could make a buttonhole if needed.
Thank you so much for replying
so quickly! I bought the Homespun Thick and Quick and sorry I did - it's really difficult and going every 4th peg...will be room for a button there!
Hi there! How would I figure how many skeins to purchase for the 38" board? Wanna make a it larger! :-) TY & MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
how many skien did you use? im starting this blanket. thank you
Trying this blanket with Bernat crushed velvet yarn, some of the loops are larger than others any idea how to fix or know what I am doing wrong?
How do you make a 120x120 in blanket with a loom?
Is it possible with this one?
Love your videos ❤️
you would have to sew panels together to get 120" wide. but you could make it as long as you want, simply by using more yarn.
Can I use 4 weight yarn for this project?
Kristen can i do this stitch in the round like the rotating loom for a baby hat to match blanket
Catherine German absolutely! It would work on the Double Knit Rotating loom for sure. 💞 Great idea
i cant make a baby hat double rake because there is no double loom for baby
Where can I get a loom like this? My pegs on the infinity loom are further apart. Also how many skiens of yarn did you use? This is a great project and how to video... thanks!!!🤩
Link for pattern with yarn & loom info is above plus more if you nee more info. But it was 7 skeins. here is a link to get the loom. :-)
Have fun! www.amazon.com/dp/B00DEZLKLQ/?cv_ct_id=amzn1.idea.3JWT48ZI4IVQA&cv_ct_pg=storefront&cv_ct_wn=aip-storefront&ref=exp_cov_goodknitkisses_lv_dp_vv_d
So I am new to using a loom and I love this pattern but already have several skeins of yarn that I would like to use but of smaller weight (4). Would I still keep the spacing at 3cm or make the spacing smaller?
I would make it 1 or 2 cm. I suggest testing a swatch with 1cm with 12-20 pairs of pegs and knit about 4-6 inches first. That will likely work the best. If you feel like the fabric is too dense or still then go up to the 2cm. I haven’t worked that one in a while so I’d have to test but the 2cm might be too loose but depends on the yarn.
@@GoodKnitKisses thank you so very much!
I would like your advise for which loom to purchase. I like the tighter knits and want to make blankets and throw but would like the versatility to making smaller items also - not hats. What would you suggest?
Could these panels be joined side by side to create a wider piece? If so, how would you do that? Thank you in advance and thank you for all your great tutorials!
Melissa Westbrook
Melissa Westbrook yes. I have a few videos on how to seam a panel together. :)
I'm working on this project now and I've noticed the loom is starting to "bow" in the middle. I feel like I have had consistent tension (maybe too tight?) And I'm alternating my knitting over just like you showed in your video. I'm about 4in into the blanket. Should I unravel and start over? I'm worried about doing this with the fluffiness of the yarn. Or can I relax my tension and have it even out?
What if you want the blanket bigger ? How can you add on ?
I have used the regular rectangular loom for figure 8 stitch do I cast on and off the same way A rectangular are not round looms or am I missing something. This loom is very $$$ but I think I will like it. What are the dimensions of a baby blanket up to 6 months If I have this will I need to buy round looms like from 24 peg to 42 peg.
I don’t understand the anchor yarn. I see how you incorporated it and what you did at the end... but why? I’ve never seen it done before. Is it solely for tightening up the beginning of the blanket? Thank you in advance.
Jamie Wegforth this is only typical of double knitting. Otherwise the cast on edge is too loose
GoodKnitKisses ok so it’s too tighten the bottom. Makes a lot of sense. Thanks so much your video was a really great watch.
Would you need a wider/longer loom, if you wanted to make the same blanket 60 or 70 inches wide. I would like to make a blanket like this to fit a standard twin or queen size bed. Is this practical??
Axerxes you can make two panels and stitch together with an invisible seam. ☺️
Thanks for your help!! Do you have a tutorial or video on how to join two panels?? Best wishes..... Ax
I am new to loom knitting and excited to give this blanket pattern a try. Can you tell me approximately how wide the finished blanket will be if I use the 28 inch loom. I am assuming that I can make it as long as I want. ...Thank you
So is the blanket like a 30” blanket?
Can I do this thin yarn? I have medium 4 it always seems to look like it has a lot of holes
Do you continue doing half of loom then other half then turn and repeat for the whole time?
Does anyone have the same issue I am having when I pulling the bottom yarn over the yarn is every lose. I wondering do I kept going or do I restart it and try to make it tighter or should I keep going and hopefully prey that it will tighten up
Could I do this with a different type of yarn
Beautiful blanket, I can’t wait to try it. Is it okay to use worsted weight yarn as long as you double up(Caron soft) how do you feel about Bernat blanket yarn? Is it doable as well?
Hello Kristen, I am fixing to try this blanket but no fringe. My question is, I want to use 1 strand of #3 baby yarn...would it be better to use a smaller spacer (1cm) between the rails for that size yarn?
Hi, would a super bulky (6) yarn work for this blanket?
Did you ever figure that out, because I have a BULKY 6 yarn and I couldn't really do it.
I've been trying to get the cast on of this type of stitch and I was wondering if u can do a slower video on this kind of stitch i get messed up on the cast on and my opposite end comes off....Help
I really love this blanket. Is there a way to make it wider?
miarbnsn yes. Of course you can sew panels together to make wider. But they also have a 38” loom available as well.
@@GoodKnitKisses In your info it says this will be approx 45 by 60. How on earth will it be 45 wide with a 28 in loom? Is that a typo? I m making this now and I don't know what to expect!
@@lessons9745 that’s a great question. It’s actually due to the 3cm spacer setting and then paired with the stitch used, which is stretchy width wise, it makes for a nice fabric that is indeed wider than the board used to knit it on. Not all stitches will behave like this of course.
@@GoodKnitKisses ok, I am using the same exact yarn and the same stitch, so hoping it will be approx 45 by 60.. that would perfect. I will put up a photo later on fb or meWe. 😊
Mine doesn’t come out like yours. I have these knitted lines but huge spaces between them.
When should u see it comeing from the loom
Is it Possible on a super KB Afghan Loom, 60 inch one? Or longest rectangle loom 21.5 inch?
How many skeins of yarn do you suggest to use?
I just clicked your link to the yarn Windsor it is a really light blue it came up in Amazon it's not the same color as yours please help because I want the color that you have
I’m not sure that yarn is still available. Perhaps check eBay?
Hey there! First off, I just want to say thank you for your videos! I'm new to knitting and I just bought the Kb 28in loom and at first I was going to extend it all the way out and make a flat panel blanket, but that was a little intimidating for my first loom project so I'm trying the one in your video now. I'm a few rows in and I'm enjoying it, but I was just wondering 2 things. How long did it take you to make this blanket? And the other question is, I seen a picture of one you were doing using almost all of the pegs, how long would it take to make a flat panel blanket using all of the pegs? Cause to me when I started trying that it just seemed to take forever. Thanks for all of your help!
Ok, also I need help please! I'm about 1 third of the way of being finished and I noticed that my stitches dont match, and by that I mean one the sides of the blanket my stitches are a lot looser and in the middle and perfect stitches. Nice and tight. How do I fix it so my stitches aren't loose and the edges? I know this is an old post so I hope I get a reply. Thank you so much!!
@@kasmj11 You might just be wrapping tighter in the middle part of the loom. Not having the same tension. Are you using a tension guide? (a heavy straw, or gutted pen)
Thanks for sharing this video with us. very beautiful blanket. you are pretty woman as well.
Can I do a figure 8 stitch with 1 cm using Bernat baby blanket stripes
Could I make this on the KB S loom?
You’re a great teacher!! Thanks 🙏🏽
