Karrie Chapman I like them too!

[@tracygillon6078]

That's ok Gina,thanks for getting back to me.I ll be watching you video link in a five mins,looking forward to it,keep up the good work with the videos I absolutely thoroughly enjoy them.All the best Tracy 😀.

[@GinaLay]

Tracy Gillon, Thank you for your kind words! That means so much to me! I appreciate you being here and being part of my channel! 💕🙂

[@lauriethompson3925]

Gina, thanks for your reply. Actually you do show both stitches. I am following the video . The thing I realized was I had to practice knit and purl stitches first. So now that I did, I can follow along much better. This is my first mitten, and I am excited to see how it turns out. Thank you SO MUCH for teaching me something new.♥️😀

[@GinaLay]

Awh! That's fantastic! Yes, that's all it takes is a little practice. I'm sure you are doing wonderful! :-) Thank you for watching! I cannot wait to see your finished mitten! ❤💜💙

[@compass_bat]

I did a double knitted sock using your sock tutorial and one day I will follow this one 🙂💛

[@GinaLay]

Did you ever make it? How did it go?♥️

[@ArtisticInspirations.]

I agree

[@laurastone4865]

Love your videos. Do you have written instructions for your patterns? My internet is slow and sometimes it will go out. It would be great if you did have written patterns. Thank you.

[@GinaLay]

Thank you. I appreciate that so much. 🙏I do not have written on a website anymore (long story). Basically it’s because I don’t write a pattern like everyone else. 😕 I will look for my original notes and if I find them I will let you know. 💗Thank you Laura for being so kind.

[@San-ry5hr]

I've finished the cuff and I'm trying to follow your written directions below. I understand how to know cast on knit and pearl but not sure about what you mean by e-wrap. You used this term when you described how to cast on but I don't know what you mean by your directions of K12 (understand this) but EW. Can you show me?

[@heididietrich3747]

This yarn color that you are using reminds me of fruit loops. It looks pretty!

[@GinaLay]

Heidi Dietrich Haha Thank you! I can see that for sure!

[@heididietrich3747]

Gina Lay I love colors!

[@tonihovatter7764]

Oh I LOVE that yarn! It's so pretty! :)

Thank you! I love happy colors. I got it from Michaels. 💜

I hope I can loom knit mittens one day👍

[@GinaLay]

Verna Johnson You will! :-)

[@heididietrich3747]

Verna Johnson Verna, I get intimidated by things so I try them because I hate being intimidated. Give it a shot.

[@PandaQueen365]

I just finished the cuff of the mit, so I do 12 rows of e-wrap?

[@GerriFoley]

do you go left 7 pegs for one hand and right 7 pegs for the other hand. and do you K12 E12, K12 P12 in different directions as well for each hand?

[@GinaLay]

Hi Gerri! Correct! ♥️ Please let me know if you have any questions. ♥️

[@heididietrich3747]

I love the birds!

[@GinaLay]

Heidi Dietrich Thank you! :-) I have since moved into a craft/ filming room since this was taken. 💕 They were babies here.

[@heididietrich3747]

Gina Lay I used to have birds. Give them kisses for me?

[@GinaLay]

Heidi Dietrich I will! 😁❣️

[@heididietrich3747]

Gina Lay cool! Thank you!

[@brendaw6319]

thank you. I am watching it as I make the mittens.

[@GinaLay]

You're welcome! Please let me know if you have anymore questions. I can't wait to see them when they are finished! 😊

[@rebekahricketts7587]

Can I use my 12 peg loom for this pattern for it to fit a 3 year old

[@GinaLay]

Hello. It’s tough for me to say because I have never tried it with a 12 peg loom before. I usually use the 12 peg for baby mitts and baby booties. 💗

[@brendaw6319]

Would this work the same using #5 chunky/bulky yarn ??

[@GinaLay]

Yes. :)

[@kristieperkins8365]

why do you do 12 knit 12 ewrap on same row, sounds weird havent finished watching video, seems like it would look different on each side. also what yarn did you use very pretty.

[@tracygillon6078]

Hi Gina,did u ever do the half fingerless mittens as I loved your colourful mittens but my daughter would like then fingerless ones.Great tutorial bye the way u r great,all the best Tracy.

[@GinaLay]

Hi Tracy! Im so sorry! I am not sure how this comment was missed! I do have a fingerless mitten video. Here is the link: m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqDXoXqibLljg9U Thank you so much! -Gina

[@ppyli]

Hi love your tutorial!!! I want to know if I can use the same loom to make mittens for my 8 year old, 9 year old and 11 year old grandchildren. Also I want to make a pair for my daughter in law whish loom should I used? Thank you so much.

[@GinaLay]

ppyli Thank you so much! You are so kind! ❤I also have another video for Loom Knit Mittens where the mitten fits a little more snug. Here is the link: m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/mn_ahoCaq7SZsKM The mitten in this video might be a little loose on the 8 year old. Measure or use their hand if you can. When you see the finger tip just barely is a good place to stop the knitting. ❤I hope this helps. The yarn in this video is #4 worsted weight and I doubled the strands.

[@ppyli]

Thank you so much for replying so quickly, you're so kind, could you please tell me what brand is that yarn, is sooo pretty, I will see if I can get it online, greetings from Australia :)

[@etowle1856]

What would I have to do to make these fit 3-5 year olds?

[@xomariaeileen]

Am I able to use a 30 peg loom for an adult mitten, or do I need specifically a 24 peg?

[@GinaLay]

Hi Maria Bothwell, The 30 peg loom would be too big for the mittens. I would only use a 24 peg. :)

[@christiethomas6905]

Hi Gina! Once I finish the cuff, I can do 15 rows of ewrap? Then it's time to start the thumb? Is this correct? Thanks!!

[@GinaLay]

Christie Thomas, yes that is correct! ❤️I would love to see your mittens when they are done! If you can post a picture on my Facebook page, The Mom Writer. Thanks for watching and let me know if you have anymore questions. 💕

[@brendaw6319]

Hello I made by thumb piece on the right side pass the first peg. So to do the left hand I would use pegs on the left side of the first peg, this is what you mean???

[@GinaLay]

Hi Brenda! That is correct. Do the same thing on the left side as right. 👍☺️

[@dgroganvoice]

That didn't turn out well for me. The heel part isn't in the same place

[@heididietrich3747]

Gina, I'm thinking that the left hand mitten has the thumb starting on the right side of the look, right?

[@MrJazz505]

what kind of yarn did you use for this particular craft?!!!

[@GinaLay]

Anna H, I used a number 4 worsted weight yarn and doubled it.This particular yarn was purchased at Michael's. The brand is Charisma. 💕

[@wilmaettason8856]

@@GinaLay thank you blessings

[@simianimp]

I found this pattern easy to follow, but I'm curious about what the point of the heel portion is. The ridges look out of place to me. if I just completely e-wrap will it turns out alright?

[@GinaLay]

Hi Jackie Bermingham! Thank you! Yes you can do the ewrap too, but I wanted to let you know about my new mitten video! I just posted it today. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/mn_ahoCaq7SZsKM :)

[@simianimp]

Gina Lay cool! I'll be sure to check it out.

[@user-fd8st6lq9n]

Hi Gina, How many rows for the heel of the hand do you do before the thumb? (children's mitten

[@GinaLay]

Hello Lori. Cavallaro Mertz! I usually go about 3- 3 1/2 inches. Thanks for asking! I have a brand new video coming out for a child’s mitten that’s a little smaller than this one. :) I LOVE your picture! You’re dog is adorable!

[@etowle1856]

Do you have a video of how to loom knit mittens for 3-5 year olds?

[@crazycatladyinglis2736]

I've done the start of the glove. Im sore how do the next steps x

[@crazycatladyinglis2736]

Hi im just wondering im going to make sock for mine friend they are sizes 4. What see how six is 21. What is 4. If you no what I mean xx

[@Storybks]

Great video. Do you have a video loom knitting fingerless flip or convertible top mittens?

[@GinaLay]

Connie Brown Thank you for your kindness! I am glad you are here! As of right now I only have a fingerless glove pattern/ video. That’s a great idea! 😁Thank you for watching!

[@jeanneholt2537]

This is great! Can you please provide written directions for the whole mitten? I would like to have something to refer to without having to watch the video every time I make a mitten.

[@brendaw6319]

Write down the instructions as she talks. U can pause it as many times needed , and rewind it.

[@jacquelineshawdeyoung6918]

HI Gina I am using a 12 peg making these for a toddler how many rounds will I make after the cuff to the thumb and then after the thumb how many rounds till I am finished I will make the mitt a total of 4" in lenght unless you think other wise I do not have a toddler hand to measure I am just going by what I researched. Thanks.

[@GinaLay]

jacqueline shaw deyoung Hello!! I can’t wait to see your mittens!! ❤️🙂

[@jacquelineshawdeyoung6918]

Gina I was thinking to do 6 rounds of each before the thumb do you think that will work I am kinda exploring this Thanks.

[@lindapoole2484]

Im looking for a tutorial on how to make a pair of mittens for my 3 year old grandaughter.What age does this fit?

[@GinaLay]

I would say this pattern would be too big for a 3 year old. 🙂

[@lindapoole2484]

Thank you

[@brendaw6319]

Hello Let's say to use 5/8" gauge with 24 pegs, 2 strands of worsted weight yarn, instead of using that loom use 3/8" gauge, 48 pegs with one strand of worsted weight yarn, would it equal the same size as the 5/8 loom ???

[@GinaLay]

Hello Brenda! So nice to hear from you! 💕 I hope you are well! I have never used that size of gauge loom before. I would say try it and see how a couple of rows look. ♥️ My guess is yes but I am not 100 percent because I’ve never used it. 😊

[@ppyli]

What weight of yarn are you using? Is ir like Worsted weight yarn?

[@heididietrich3747]

Before I start the thumb, am I knitting and e wrapping or just one or the other?

[@GinaLay]

I knit 12 and then ewrap 12. :)

[@smichalpi]

I like the sounds of the budgies in the background

[@julieleblanc5417]

Can I find this pattern with instructions printed

[@GinaLay]

Hello! I am not sure if I have the written pattern still but I will check. 😊 I don’t write patterns like normal, I pretty much have to write it out. That’s how my brain computes it. I hope that makes sense.

[@brendaw6319]

Have you ever used 20 peg loom for mittens ?

[@GinaLay]

I have not. ♥️🤗 I don’t think I have a 20 peg loom. Only a 12 peg.

[@jodylong5208]

What size loom did you use? I cant tell from the video. My names is Raechel i use my moms account

[@GinaLay]

Jody Long Hi Raechel! This is a 24 peg loom. :-) I have another mitten video as well as this one that also uses 24 peg loom. Thank you for being here! 😁

[@dancealert1]

I want to make mittens for a toddler can I still use this loom?

[@GinaLay]

Brenda Rupp, I would use a smaller loom such as a flower loom for a toddler. 😊

[@jacquelineshawdeyoung6918]

HI Gina would I use an 18 peg flower loom for a toddler? Thanks.

[@ArtisticInspirations.]

How can I loosen the tension for knit stitch it is so tight?

[@Aloma11000]

Thank you

Gina what number of yarn do you use for socks and mittem let me know please

[@GinaLay]

Pete Dachel I like to use a number 5 yarn or use double strands. :)

[@colleenbaker5599]

What size loom would I use for adult mittens?

[@GinaLay]

Colleen, you can use the same size loom. Your mitten would be longer to fit your hand. :-) Thanks for watching and please let me know if you have anymore questions. 😀

[@colleenbaker5599]

Thanks so much for the quick reply I'm excited to make these! :)

May I ask what size your loom is please

[@GinaLay]

Thank you for asking. 😊 It’s a 25 peg loom. I also have another video of adult mittens that fit more snug. Thanks so much for watching and being part of my channel! 😊🎄🎅

[@victorboulay385]

Hi, I did the 6 rows and mine is not as long as yours (6:07), am I missing something?

[@GinaLay]

Hmm Are you doing a flat knit or ewrap knit? What kind of yarn are you using ? 🙂

[@knitting2211]

What brand is that yarn and yarn name? & I own that loom

[@brendaw6319]

Confused, Is this pattern for your daughter? What age ? Some say it's an adult mitt ?

[@GinaLay]

I made it for my daughter but you adjust it for the hand length. Have you checked out my other video for mittens? It might be a little less confusing.

[@mel6655]

[@xochitlmendoza8220]

i want to make some for a newborn do u know the size

[@GinaLay]

Hi there! You would need a smaller loom to make newborn mittens. It's a flower loom with 12 pegs. I can help you if you do. :-)

[@hollysloveofanimals2018]

Hi gina i am using a 31 peg loom by mistake is there any chance the mittens would fit a large man?

[@GinaLay]

Hello Hollys love of animals! I have never tried this loom for a large man but I would say if you are already in the middle it would hurt to try! :D 💕Please let me know how it works out! 😁

[@beccam1007]

I don't really know what all the EW 12 and the * mean and how many pegs do you use for the thumb? I used 6 for an adult mitten so I an't imagine using that many for a childs. I made my first mitten, adult size but am trying to find out how to do the kids.

[@GinaLay]

Becca M I would try four pegs and see how the space looks.

[@beccam1007]

what does EW12 mean? and what do all the * mean?

[@GinaLay]

Becca M EW means e wrap stitch and * Is how I separate my steps in the project. They mean nothing. 😊

[@gailsiraguse4853]

I love your tutorials. Could you print the pattern also. I watch to see how you do it . But it would be easier to have printed version also

[@646mtorres]

How many pegs on the loom you're using?

[@GinaLay]

This is a 24 peg loom. :-) Thanks for watching.

[@brendaw6319]

Are you using #4 yarn. worsted weight. I see you are using two strands.

[@GinaLay]

Hi Brenda! Yes I am. :-)

[@WalkandRollAdventures21]

My cuff ended up a lot shorter than yours....i did the 6 rows what do you think i did wrong?

[@GinaLay]

Hi simplebeauty90! What size of yarn are you using? That's an idea. Not sure what else would make it shorter if they are the same stitches. I bet your mitten looks great! ❤❤

[@WalkandRollAdventures21]

it says 4 medium...5 mm and I'm using two strings. I'm pretty new to loom knitting, fingerless gloves haven't been my thing so I thought maybe regular ones would be easier. :) I got to the cuff, and it looked shorter so I stopped and wanted to wait to continue until I was sure I was doing it right. Should I double the length for mine?

[@GinaLay]

simplebeauty90 You could try doubling and see if that helps you! :) Have you tried my fingerless glove video? 😊

[@WalkandRollAdventures21]

Not yet, i have seen it i just haven't had a chance(or free loom) to try. Ill have to give it a shot! Thank you so much!

[@GinaLay]

simplebeauty90 No problem! Good luck and please let me know if you have anymore questions. 😊

[@etowle1856]

What is the difference between K12 and EW 12? Do these fit 3-5 year olds?

[@GinaLay]

etowle1856 Knit is different then E-wrap. Knit is when you go in front of the stitch and ewrap is when you wrap the yarn around the pegs.

[@GinaLay]

etowle1856 Sorry I forgot! This willl probably be to big for. 5 year old.

[@monica2102]

What size are the mittens? I am an adult medium size hands ( or latex gloves).

[@GinaLay]

These are adult size. I did another loom knitting mitten video which is a little easier with a different stitch. ❤️ kzbin.info/www/bejne/mn_ahoCaq7SZsKM

Sorry me again. couldn't find the other part on youtube. So is it that you start thumb at 12 and do 7 as like the first one

Caroline L Walker Hmm that’s strange! I wonder where it’s at. I’m sorry! Yes you do the thumb with the same amount of stitches. 🙂

[@viankacross5459]

Hi Gina, do you have a video for adult mittens? If so can you provide the link. thanks

Hi Vianka Cross! This pattern works for an adult too. You can judge the size by placing your hand inside the loom as your working the top portion of your mitten. :)
