Sign up to our newsletter! Hi, Judith! I reset the video player so it should be working now. We just finished a major update on our site to improve speed and performance. Occasionally, an older post needs a few adjustments to get back up again.
Thanks for the heads up! I did not see how many skeins was needed for a standard blanket. Is there a guide somewhere so I order enough for this project? I have the same question as Anne. I have gotten to the point where I have joined both sections and have a beautiful rectangle but I don't understand what to do next. Looking at the pattern it would be a corner but I'm not sure if I'm reading it right. How does the blanket get bigger without straight parts?
This is the second time I've had this issue so I'm hoping someone can help me. After I get several rounds in I'll pick up my loom and discover all my joins have unjoined! I have no idea how or why, and no clue how to prevent or fix it. Also, you have the option of working corners two ways: wrapping the peg or German short rows. See which one you like best!
We think a loom knit ten stitch blanket should use 10 pegs! It can also tell you how many rounds to knit to reach the size you want. I know videos can be hard for left-handed loomers to follow so I have a special video just for you lefties to watch! PIN IT! Supplies: loom hook, measuring tape, tapestry needle Gauge: Not important for this pattern. Abbreviations: K — Knit you can use the knit stitch of your choice: ewrap, true knit or u-knit.
P — Purl S — Slip the stitch. Skip this peg and bring the working yarn behind. W — Wrap the peg. This is done in one of these methods both shown on video.
Bring the working yarn to the back and continue the next row working in the opposite direction German Short Rows on the loom Instructions: Cast on 10 stitches using double e-wrap cast on. You are casting on from Peg 10 to 1. Tips and Warnings. Things You'll Need. Related Articles. Part 1. Gather the materials for your knit blanket. Set a rectangular loom with 64 pegs on each side on your work surface. Adjust the loom so there is 1.
You'll also need 6 skeins of bulky yarn, scissors and a knitting tool or crochet hook. Make a slip knot. Twist your yarn into a loop so there's a 6 to 8 inch 15 to 20 cm tail at the end. Hold the ends of the yarn and use your other hand to pull the loop wide. Pull the yarn that's connected to the ball of yarn through the loop about halfway.
It should now form a loose knot. Secure the slip knot to a peg. Push the slip knot onto the peg that's on the upper row and farthest to the left. Lift up the loom a little so you can slide the yarn tail under the leg of the loom and set the loom back down. This will ensure that you don't accidentally work the yarn tail.
Pull gently on the working yarn so the slip knot tightens around the peg. Wrap the yarn around alternating between upper and lower rows. Take the yarn and wrap it on the peg that's second to the left on the lower row. Pull the yarn back to the upper row and skip a peg.
Wrap the yarn around the third peg from the left. Continue to work around every other peg as you move back and forth between the upper and lower rows. Work to the end of the loom. Work the yarn back across the loom. When you reach the end of the loom on the lower row, bring the yarn up and around the last peg on the right of the upper row. Pull the yarn down and around the lower peg that's second from the right. Work the yarn back down the rest of the row by wrapping it around the pegs that you skipped earlier.
You should be alternating between the upper and lower rows. Attach the anchor yarn in a different color. Take a 4 to 5 foot 1. For example, you may have 3 inches 7. Tuck the ends of the anchor yarn underneath the loom. Push the yarn down along the pegs. Use the side of your hand to push all of the yarn that you've worked on the pegs down. The yarn should be at the bottom of each peg. This will allow you to work the blanket on the pegs.
Part 2. Start the stockinette stitch on the loom. Take the yarn from the lower left peg and bring up directly up to the leftmost peg on the upper row. Wrap it around this peg and then bring it down to the lower row. Skip a peg and wrap it around the next peg.
Continue to stockinette stitch across the loom. Work the yarn around every other peg while you alternate between the upper and lower rows. Bring it to the right end of the loom and then work it back to the left end of the loom.
Knit over the lower row of stitches. Take your knitting tool or crochet hook and insert it below the yarn on the lower row's leftmost peg. Hook the yarn and pull it up and over the same peg to secure the yarn. Knit over half of the stitches on the lower row of the loom going from left to right. Then move to the right end of the lower row and knit over back to the center of the loom.
