Easy Double Knit Blanket - 28" KB Loom - knit in one piece

[@MissHellsyMe]

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

[@cierasweetwood3350]

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.

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!

[@ruthsmelcer6447]

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.

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!

[@ashleyalt8987]

I have been looking for loom videos thanks

[@staylor5687]

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.

[@roslynmunoz]

very good teacher, I enjoy the video, thanks

[@homemakingwisdom]

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.

[@GoodKnitKisses]

Jaclyn Maracle Thank you! 😊

[@mallorikerr4092]

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.

[@GoodKnitKisses]

Mallori Kerr sounds great! Patterns are just suggestions. 😉

[@sofiaduran4241]

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!

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

[@SusanGreen-qw4se]

This is beautiful. I have the all 'n one loom with 48 pegs (17 3/4" long). Assuming I need to do this in 2 pieces, how long would it take to complete?

Wth, how did you g er t all that off the loom? Help Your awesome at this..

[@feliciabreshears48]

How big is the blanket knitted from the 28" loom?

[@kasmj11]

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. 💜

[@GoodKnitKisses]

Dev Co how many inches have you knit? Also, are you using the same yarn and loom and peg count?

[@jeanjaz]

@@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?

[@ramygeo4624]

@@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.

[@jeanjaz]

@@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.

[@DoubleCrochet-DIANA-]

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!!

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.

[@pamelac4465]

I a trying to follow your instructions. However, my loopovers are VERY loose. Do you have any idea what I am doing wrong?

[@GoodKnitKisses]

What? Speak American! It should be tight though. Be sure to give your already knit part a gentle tug to keep it on the pegs or push it down own the pegs. Then wrap the loom with your yarn with some tension to your wrap. So it should be a firm pulling but not too hard. Just make sure not to wrap it super loose. I recommend knitting over the stitches from right toward middle and left toward middle on just the front. Then turn the board around and repeat. Then pull work down or push again. You can pull down on the work a bit between but if you tug too much it could stretch out those stitches causing it to be more loose.

[@pitfall69]

Do you think this pattern could be done on their s loom

[@Lilyem]

first, love your videos - you're one of my go-to's when I'm trying to remind myself of something that can / should be done on the many looms that I have and you're always a fantastic resource.... now my question - following your instructions for the blanket, my right side always seems to come out looser than the left side - is there something I'm doing wrong or sit that normal for a beginner to experience?

[@GoodKnitKisses]

Robert Salazar thank you so much :) I think the turning the loom when wrapping and also when knitting over will help you. It can even put the tension. Also pull downward on the work instead of just pushing it down. Those things should help. Basically what happens is when you work from the front only it can risk the front being more snug and the back more loose. Please let me know if that helps you. :)

[@gi-gijacobs184]

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)?

[@GoodKnitKisses]

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.

[@gi-gijacobs184]

@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.

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?

[@GoodKnitKisses]

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.
