Happy to have discovered your channel. Your audio is so quiet, though (did you know?). I love my flexee looms and have just been experimenting with increasing. Happy to find this video today. Thanks!

Glad I could help & yes!, I've been struggling with the audio issue for what seems like FOREVER! My hubby bought me a new camera with dual microphone for Christmas & I'll be using that for my next video. Hopefully it will solve my issues. Thx for sticking it out - much appreciated.

What an awesome tutorial, Stacey!! I've decreased on the Flexee but have not done increases. That bit with the stitch holder and crochet hook is genius!! Thank you so much for sharing ❤❤❤

You are soooo welcome! Glad I could share something new.

I can't tell you how excited I am for this! I've been searching for an answer to this question for the last two weeks - and here you are, thank you! After I made a beautiful toe-up knee sock that fit my foot perfectly, I couldn't get the cuff passed my heel! I thought maybe it was the bind off so I ripped that out and no, the whole cuff wouldn't fit. I ripped out the cuff and was able to get the sock up my calf, but it was a little snug and I think about 10 more stitches would have been perfect but I had no idea how that was possible on the round loom. This is going to be a game changer, I can't wait to try it! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Outstanding!! So glad I could help - good luck with the socks!!

Can you show how to decrease on the round loom? I am attempting a Santa hat which will have a lot of decreases and feeling a little nervous about it

[@stitchesbystacey]

As for your nerves - DEEP BREATHES - you got this!! I must confess, hats are not my thing, however, when I typed in 'decrease loom knit hat' I came upon several decent videos: Good Knit Kisses "Flexee Loom Decreased Crown" & OR... Loomahat: "LOOM KNITTING SANTA HAT on a round loom..." Both these ladies have provided detailed videos with clear instructions. Let us know how it turns out!

I want to make a shrug, but the cuff is the same size as the sleeve. My plan is to use 18 pegs on a 5/8 loom for the cuff and then increase to the required 36 pegs for the sleeve. How do you suggest that I do this?

[@stitchesbystacey]

I'm assuming you're working with a Chunky Flexee Loom.... There are 2 ways you can do this: 1) If you want a drastic 'poof', beginning with 9 links (18pegs), insert a link between each current link - effectively doubling the sleeve diameter within 1 round. OR for a more gradual effect over 3 rounds..... 2) Insert a new link every 2 links for the first round (5 links/10 pegs) - you'll be one off. Then, 0 links the next round & finally insert the remaining 4 links (8 pegs) between the 4 spaces you DIDN'T insert them on the previous increase round. Hope this helps!!
