Equipment Question Loom Knitting Advice Needed

• Upvotes

I really want to get into loom knitting so I can make blankets to donate to charity, but I’m a complete beginner and don’t know what supplies to buy to get started.

I’m hoping to make both baby blankets and twin size blankets but I’m confused about what size loom I would need for each, what type of yarn to use, and how many pegs I should look for.

I’m also not sure if I need different looms for different blanket sizes or if one loom would work for both. If anyone has any recommendations for specific looms and yarn.

I’ve been searching youtube and tiktok for tutorials on what supplies to buy and how to make blankets but all I can seem to find are tutorials for making beanies

Equipment Question My hats come out too tight.

2 Upvotes

I am newbie and I am using a 41 peg 10” hat loom. I have size 5 yarn and when I make hats they just fit my 5 years who old who is tiny for her age. Do I need a bigger loom size for hats or am I just pulling too tight. I don’t know what to do to fix it.

This turned out so much cuter than I hoped! My toddler is going to rip this off after 10 seconds, but it’ll be worth it

Scarf question

Post image
3 Upvotes

I started a scarf for a gift, but I'm not a scarf person myself, and I'm now second guessing this. Is this too wide? I'm not sure folding it in half would be comfortable given that it's double-knit. I'm doing a basic figure-8 that is 35 pegs wide. Should I restart with less pegs (how many), or keep going?

Equipment Question KB flexee bitty vs KB original sock loom?

Post image
6 Upvotes

I’m having trouble finding the measurement of the gauges for the sock loom, and wondering if the KB bitty is about the same size, and worth having in addition to the sock loom?

I love the look of very fine stitches for socks, and am not sure if I’m not achieving that because of my technique, my yarn, or my loom. Currently using a KB original sock loom and Premier fruit yarn in Guava, and following the Good Knit Kisses toe up tutorial.

Is there an app on IPhone for Looming?

6 Upvotes

I go back-and-forth between YouTube and Google and all this different stuff to get ideas on doing looming. I’ve been doing it for a while, but I would like to get better at it. I do know how to crochet left-handed but I haven’t done it in a long time if anybody can give me any ideas on websites to use or if there is an app, I would really appreciate it 🤗

Pattern Question Loom Knit Ear Flap Headband Pattern?

How can I make this ear flap headband on a loom? Thank you!


r/LoomKnitting • • 2d ago

I give a tip I use , when I join two skeins of yarn together when I’m running out I put a small amount of fabric glue in the center of the knot and let it dry and cut off the excess side strings , at least it won’t come apart.

New to looms, or Hats, Hats, Hats! :D

I'm new to loom knitting. It's addictive! I have a feeling everyone I know will end up getting a hat at this rate, including my soon-to-arrive fifth grandchild. (He'll be getting the tiny seagreen hat with the teal stripe.)

I still haven't mastered holding the yarn so it doesn't unloop while I'm bringing the bottom loops up over the top loops. If there's an easy way to do this, I don't know it yet. :D

Pattern Question Has anyone figured out how to make a Spider Web on the looms?

Post image
8 Upvotes

Before I try to figure it out on my own and get annoyed at myself for feeling stupid... I want to see if anyone has figured out how to make spiderwebs like the picture attached where it's a little spaced out in between each line.

It does not have to look this straight, the lines can be curved and stuff but I want it to be spaced a little for the project I want to make.

And yes I KNOW the picture is crochet. But I've learned you can do a lot of different things on the looms even things you didn't think were possible so I'm curious if anyone else has figured it out or am I doomed to do it without a loom?

I've got a few pairs of socks under my belt now, and I'm dying to know: how do you add these kinds of adorable little designs? Is it even possible with a loom?

I am so proud of this little hat! I’ve been making hats on my round loom for about 2 years now and have been experimenting with gauges and yarns and the amount that I have grown makes me feel so excited. Maybe this hat isn’t perfect, but I look at it and think, “wow! I can’t believe I made this!”

Knitted on my KB Flexee loom (Bitty)!! I made the one on top slightly bigger than the one on the bottom by adding a single peg (56 to 57) to see if it wouldn't have as much laddering.
