How to Loom Knit for Beginners: Flat Panel with Cast On, Rows & Cast Off

Learn how to create a flat panel on a flat loom. This is different from using both sides of the loom at the same time. This will leave the interior hollow like it was a round loom.
In this video, you will find how to cast on, do the rows and cast off with non-stretch bind off.
For Teaching Purposes: I am showing flat loom with Caron Sprinkle Cakes.

;; okay so I’ve never ever made a flat panel before on a loom and this was the absolute best instructions I’ve seen on here. Super easy to follow. Absolutely love it. Thanks so much!!!

[@RaymondNok]

I'm a beginner. Just finished my first scarf with the loom. Thanks for helping and sharing 😊

[@beaishman5593]

I love the pen thing , it makes wrapping the yarn so easy.

[@kevinmencer3782]

The excited frog explanation means that I finally understand slip knots.

[@lisacerruto1519]

Thank you for making this easy for the 'loom challenged individuals ' I appreciate it x

[@sharlannleonetti5265]

Omg!!!! I am new to the loom knitting world, and the hook that came with the looms I got is so small. A Cricut weeding tool!!!! Thank you!

[@carolynlaboy4901]

Thank u Mikey. This is exactly what I was looking for. Needed to make a wider blanket and u just showed me how to use my loom on both sides unlike a scarf. Can’t wait to start. Thank u. Thank u. Thank u. 😊

[@cabinfevercrochet]

I haven’t used looms ; but find them interesting. So many styles and techniques and always something to learn! Thanks for the demo and explanation. 😉

[@michalamarkova6999]

Hi, I love the trick with the "straw", that is really perfect :-) Do you have a video how to finish the whole thing?

[@artsyfartsystuff4277]

Pen.

[@Rea84]

thank you this is so useful!

[@grampydeathblade2217]

@4:30 (ish) a trick that works for me....I hold the loom like a guitar neck in my left hand and use my finger tips to "hold the cord" as you would if you were holding the cord note on a guitar. this prevent unraveling.

[@Dubi_dee]

I love this ❤

[@lisagrounds8515]

Very easy to follow.

[@vanessarenee.butterflyreborn]

👍🏽thx for this short lesson on looming. 😬

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

You’re welcome 😊

Thank you!!

thank you for this video!

Thank you very much.

Да ты чёртов гений! Спасибо.

[@teresahowell9659]

Lol cute leap frog example

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Easy memory hook.

[@claudiamims8705]

I just started looming on the rectangular loom and love your videos. Which size rectangular loom would you suggest for a baby blanket using Bernat Velvet Bulky #5 and how many rows? Sorry for so many questions - I am definitely a “beginner”.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

You would need an S Loom. These won't work for a baby blanket size.

[@onlynameIcanuse1]

You can also place the yarn in the pen and just suck on the other side and it goes right through so easy.

[@floopyboo]

You'll get fibre in your lungs if you do that too often, so be careful

[@landomilknhoney]

I picked up 3 sizes of these after my neighbor abandoned her belongings on the lawn. I need the pick, could I use something else? Also, if I want to make a long pair of stockings which loom should I use. Of course, this is my first time, or should I make a pot holder or something small, first?

[@kathybailey4532]

Thank you. I tried before. I don't have that hook or whatever you called it I thought was just regular hook.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

It's a loom pick. The one you see is a Cricut Weeder.

[@xxvalenxx4032]

Sorry for such late comment, I recently began on my mother's scarf and where you made the slip knot. would you do the same thing as when your sewing the rest of the yarn into the project or would you cut of the excess yarn off the slip knot?

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

I would weave in the ends with a tapestry needle at the end of the project for security. If you cut at the knot, it could undo and your project is ruined.

[@CharizardFan_og]

How would you go about knitting a hole in the middle of a flat piece of work?

[@lindagalemason1559]

Never seen a slip knot made like that

[@lindaickes9852]

Will the added space at the end peg add a gap in the stitches. After your intro, I thought you would skip end and use one side.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Not as far as I know but try it and see if you see a difference.

[@melissahorvath9759]

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. The yarn tension won't allow me to knit when I go back the other way on the first return. Is it possible that not all yarns are meant to do this?

[@ariwilsonmusic]

Hey, if I'm trying to do a pattern (knit 4 pearl 4 for 4 rows, then pearl 4 knit 4 for 4 row a, repeat,) how would I handle the turning peg in regards to the pattern?

[@catherinethomas8828]

Hi could u tell me where got your hook from for loom plz thanks

[@madisonfife4403]

Do you have to use the load thing

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Nope... I find my finger tips get raw after rubbing against the pegs too much.

[@daniellesanchezmendez964]

So I do my full loom which naturally creates an open middle section. How would I close it on the bottom and the top once done meaning I need to know how to close up both ends.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

You would have to cast off across the loom if you want it to have an open middle.

[@carolinestewart532]

How do I stop mine from curling?

[@floopyboo]

Stretch it on a crochet board

[@karissaroot2466]

Where is the stretch cast off for this stitch?

[@elaineweik7181]

Does this also work on a round loom?

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Yes. For sure.

[@kathybailey4532]

Where do I get the tube you use to load loom

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

It's just an empty pen.

[@michaelsangel73]

Do you actually do a full square?

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

I don't know what you mean?

[@michalamarkova6999]

@@TheCrochetCrowd I guess to go the full way around. Isn't the result then similar to using the round one?

[@donnettaswindell]

that is the most complicated way I've ever seen to tie a slip knot.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

My mom taught me that as a child. If you have a better way, by all means, do it the way you most prefer.

[@megsvhhs09]

That was the easiest way ever

[@Ava.766]

It keeps unraveling and it's pissing me off

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

I'm not sure what I can do for you about that? Are you just venting?

[@Ava.766]

@@TheCrochetCrowd no i am no venting my mom that i do not see and i am 13 she got me a loom kit and it just keeps unraveling i got mad at it
