Easy Loom Knit Ear Warmer Headband (Beginner Friendly)

[@ruthannlanni469]

I love this simple project and your clear concise instructions. I use the purl bind off. It’s super simple and doesn’t shrink the bind off smaller then the cast on. I also use your slipper sock tutorial. I watched others but usually got messed up. I was successful with your instructions. Thank you so much.

@@ruthannlanni469 Thank you so much for this kind comment! I really appreciate it more than you know. 🙏Thank you for suggesting the purl bind off. Also, thank you for the slipper sock comment. That’s so kind of you. I try to make my videos the best way I know how to learn. So, I am glad you find them helpful! 🙏💕 💕❣️Thanks for being here and watching.

I've been trying to figure out how to sew the headband and make the twisty part and your video was so much more helpful than some of the others I saw. So thank you!

[@GinaLay]

Wow! This is so sweet! Thank you for taking the time. It can be tricky. I completely understand and I am so glad this video was helpful! Thank you for taking the time to leave this comment. I hope you have a wonderful day! 🙏☀️🥰

Hi Gina, I am new to loom kniting. I just finished my second ear warmer, both of which I learned to make by watching your tutorials. Everyone on you tube seems to have different methods, but I find you give the clearest directions and are the easiest to follow. Thank you for your expert videos. For this one, I wanted a headband to match my patriotic mask, so I used 3 strands of #4 yarn, red, white and blue. It came out beautiful, and is thick and warm.

[@GinaLay]

Thank you so much for leaving me such a sweet comment!! I am so glad the videos are helpful and I appreciate you!!!❤️♥️❤️🙏

[@ruthginestre1287]

I just learn about loom knitting and I am loving it. I am retired and it keep me busy. Learning to do some hats for Christmas for when I drive around give to the homeless or may to a nursing home.

Welcome to loom knitting! 😍 I appreciate you watching!

[@debsking8017]

Have just found you after owning a set of loams for just over a year but never used. Now with you i feel so confident and cant wait to start my 1sr project for my granddaughter xxx

[@GinaLay]

Hello! Yay! That’s great!! You can do it! So funny when my husband got me my first set they stayed in my closet too! ❤️Good luck and I can’t wait to see your first project!

[@Maryann-wc9vo]

Nice headband, I like the twist. My favorite time to knit is late afternoon or night while watching tv and snacking on something chocolate😊

[@GinaLay]

Maryann Thank you Maryann! That sounds great to me! ❤️

[@ginakopack2999]

Hi GinaLay- I M also Gina, great name! Ty soooo much for the detailed instructions; I’ve watched at least 10 to 20 videos and tried with each of them.... I was just about to give up and bam there you were! Omg! You are a lifesaver... I’m left handed and have Chemo Brain, it’s hard for me to retain instructions. I absolutely love your video and the SHORTCUT is awesome. I’m just about finished my very first headband and am so excited to show it off... I’m making several for Christmas gifts. I can’t wait to watch and learn more from you.... I’m truly a newbie, and my headband looks professional: keep the great work up, I’m your greatest fan! You asked what others do when they loom knit: I am an insomniac and taking cancer meds keeps me up, the knitting seems to relax me and I love to have a huge Mug of Decaf Starbucks. Ty again for the great instructions.

[@GinaLay]

@Gina, Thank you so much for being here! I appreciate you watching my videos so much and I’m glad you didn’t give up!! ❤️Sorry for the delay on this message!

[@pattyolson3842]

Thanks so much for this video! I offered to make a friend an ear warmer headboard & showed her some of the options. She wanted one in a turban style, so I tried the Tutate one that she pointed to. After 2 attempts and pulling the yarn out, I was frustrated because I couldn't get it right. And decided to try another method. Since yours has a twist in the front, I gave it a try. When I watched your video, it made so much more sense and seemed like one I could do. I completed the headband within a few hours, (with distractions) and wrote the directions down so I can do more of these without watching the video. This is the first video tutorial of yours I used, and I decided to subscribe (even though I don't crochet and that is a lot of your stuff). Thanks again!

[@GinaLay]

Thank you for the wonderful feedback! I appreciate you taking the time and I’m glad you were able to make the headband! ❤️👏🙏

[@sahalaura8391]

@@GinaLay I tried that same turban style headband from Tutate also and I couldn't get it right either. So far this has worked out well. I'm starting on taking it off the loom at this point.

Thank you, Gina, for this tutorial. This was my first loom project and it was a success! I want to make more in different colors for myself and to gift to family and friends. As far as your question regarding beverages/activities, this time around I was sipping hot chocolate and had music playing (shuffled between Classical, Jazz, and Rock playlists). At one point I switched over to a TV series on Hulu and had that keeping me company in the background. Cheers and Merry Christmas to you and yours!

So do you keep knit stitches. How many times

[@michaelsangel73]

So one minute you were doing the e wrap n purl then it jumped to a long pattern so do I continue to e wrap n purl 17 times?

[@dawnfoster7448]

Great video ! I messed up on the connection. :(. I ended up sewing the edges down and wrapping the center. Looks ok but not what I was hoping for. Would post a pic but I don’t see an option for that. I will try again!

It’s a little tricky. Don’t worry! I am sure it looks just fine and the more you do it the easier it becomes.:) You can tag me on IG or go to the mom writer Facebook page too.😊 Happy Holidays!🌟😁

As u are using only 12 pegs could u easily use a flower loom as well. Only asking as my 24 peg loom has a scarf on it I am doing.

[@indiballin]

Hi! I have the dumbest question I’m sure. I have a 3/8 gauge loom. Do I use the same amount of pegs as shown on your video?

[@GinaLay]

Awhhhh not a dumb question! ♥️You will probably want to add a few inches as I believe the width would be smaller with the loom you have. ♥️ I hope that makes sense! ♥️♥️

[@indiballin]

@@GinaLay I think I’m going to use 2 pegs on the 3/8 to one peg on the regular ones I have. Hopefully that works!

[@mmarxen97]

I have the smaller gauge as well. How did doubling the stitches work out?

[@Diana-gm8bc]

Super cute! I actually have the same exact yarn from a previous project leftover, so I was thinking about making this. How much yarn did you use for this project? Wanna make sure I don't run out of yarn mid-way LOL

[@GinaLay]

Diana Yoo Thank you so much! That’s awesome! I used a little less then half of my skein I believe. I know exactly what you mean about running out. 😩 It’s so frustrating when that happens! 🙂
