Absolutely hooked! I did my first "sample" tiny baby yesterday and am now going to make as many different ones as I can to donate to our Children's Hospital. Thank you so much your demonstrations are excellent !❤️

[@LoomaHat]

Linda that is SUPER AWESOME 🥰. I love when folks use my designs to give. Thank YOU !!!!!

[@tammi67able]

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing God bless you.

[@moondancer2go]

Oh my I absolutely love all your videos!! You make it so easy to follow along. Thank you SO much for sharing and teaching your great talent!!!

[@dawnthompson1313]

You are so clever! Thank you for showing us all how to do these. My granddaughters are going to love them!

[@LoomaHat]

You are so welcome! Dawn they are REALLY so much fun - I made one for my adult daughter that look just like her and she went nuts about it. The pattern includes a coloring sheet so that the recipient and decide and the colors for the dress and hair. You don't need it to need the doll - it's just a fun extra.

Hi Denise Love this video. I too had a ballerina. I also took ballet. I won't say how many years ago. I can't wait for part 2 and the pattern to come out. I have great nieces who take ballet and I'm going to make the dolls to give to them after their dance recital in June.

[@LoomaHat]

I like these as gift a lot - I'm sure they will love them. The can be lookalikes for the girls just by changing the hair and adding a favorite color for the outfit.

[@naemartinez1317]

Love these lil dolls! Absolutely adorable! Looking forward to Part 2! 😁

[@LormaMargosiak]

Well I had to watch it twice omg I love her she's the cutest thing ever. Your so amazing!!! Again another fantastic video thanks Denise for sharing your videos with us 💙💚💛💜

This is really cute. If you ever get a chance - I'm wondering if you could come up with a loom knit mermaid. I'll bet it would be a HIT!

[@LoveKandiCreations]

[@emilyds83]

I really love these dolls but wish they were in a bigger size any help on making these bigger or will there be a pattern for this to purchase?

[@amandabarnett6286]

I am in the UK what is the best yarn to use for the dolls that you make please. Our yarns are a little different here .

[@patriciabuchanan3463]

Is there a video for this boy ballerina? I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! I can't wait to make these

[@LormaMargosiak]

Have not watched the video yet but I have to say I about peed my pants I got so excited I will comment after the video let's get started thank thank you Denise

[@LoomaHat]

You are toooooo funny 😁 and super sweet

[@heididietrich9800]

You are so funny!

[@EsteeDarla]

I bought off eBay a felting kit ,do you think we could felt the eyes mouth ect or details without messing up the dolls cause I made 2 dolls 2 kitties now working on balarni still need to do faces

[@helenkuehle7990]

Excellent teacher. Thank You

[@kathylock3647]

Thanks for the video my baby girl is going to love this.... your amazing I hope I can do this.

[@LoomaHat]

Thank YOU Kathy. One thing I stress with all videos watch them completely before starting the project

[@vero169]

What size thread is best to make the doll? , and to make the clothes, could you show us

[@nonnahs918]

Great tutorial! I was wondering if you used a larger loom would you have a larger doll?

[@LoomaHat]

Yes - but you would have to adjust your number of rows.

[@nonnahs918]

LoomaHat.com thanks for replying! I'm making a baby blanket and I thought a doll would be a nice gift as well.

[@LoomaHat]

The comfort or tiny dolls may be a better option to go with a blanket - here is a blanket with the doll www.loomahat.com/garter-stitch-baby-blanket/

[@tiffanydixon7103]

Could you possibly advise on about how much adjusting would be needed?

[@miradesnan38]

Hi Denise, this is an awesome doll! I wonder if one can do the arms and legs as an i-cord? (searching for matching yarn...)

[@LoomaHat]

Yep 😊

[@joeavila321]

Love this idea!

[@miradesnan38]

I tried the icord over 4 pegs, it looks nice but I think it is way softer...

[@kcfield601]

I have a problem with row 15. In the video you end at peg 3 to the right of the anchor peg. The next scene when colour change you are on row 16 at the same peg. What happened to row 15? By the way I really enjoy all your tutorials. They are great.

[@elenlima8596]

Love this video- You are the best💐

[@nettamoran4576]

Hey I have a loom but not the one you are showing so what I want to know to make a doll do i have to get the loom you are using or can I use the ones I have

[@ayeshaawan5113]

WILL MAKE THIS RIGHT NOW!!!!!

[@jenbosworth3393]

I love your videos , they are easy to follow. I was wondering if you could do a video on how to make a gymnast doll? Thanks

[@LoomaHat]

Thank YOU Jen - with the basic of this doll you can make a gymnast - there is VERY little difference between a ballerina and a gymnast.

[@kayewright8267]

Hi Just seen this part can you tell me where part 2 is. as I like this pattern

[@topturv528]

If you want a thicker doll you could use the whole way around the loom instead of 16 pegs right?

[@LoomaHat]

No - to make the thicker you can double your yarn. To make her bigger you would need to revamp the pattern

[@kosterinsv]

Спасибо за идею! 👍

[@1amnickii329]

Your great,Thank you keep the knowledge coming please.

[@LoomaHat]

Thank YOU Lisa !!!

[@tictacgal2]

Love this doll.💕 Where did you get your scissors? Thank you for the video.

[@pays2kissntell]

I love love your videos, thank you! I am just wondering how long does it take to make these dolls, I do realize practice practice practice, but have you an approximate time for each doll for beginners? Again thank you for your awesome videos

[@LoomaHat]

Yea - it really depends on the knitter. I have ADD so I really don't like answering this question to much. My mind wonders badly when I knit - I can spend as much as an hour totally distracted. Sounds funny - but I wish it weren't true. To give you a reasonable time for regular people I would say about 2 hours / beginners maybe 4. I hope that helps some

[@Pazuzu4ParAnoID]

done ... twice the second time I changed the direction (body-head-part) and finished with a flat-drawstring-castoff 😉

[@dinamourelatos4316]

Made ballerina yesterday was fun started the second one too

[@LoomaHat]

Oh my you are on a roll - AWESOME !

[@emilyslittlebooknook-8043]

Can you please make a video of a laura ingalls(pioneer girl)?? I'd love to make one .

[@andreastirling2348]

Love her she is so cute time to get my looms back out soon i think

[@LoomaHat]

Do it - get those looms out - Hey for most of my videos you only need the little 24 peg loom !

[@veolasutherland413]

Will part 2 include the clothes?

[@gretalewis9944]

Love making the dolls. Can you please make a Mexican looking one. Like with big skirt and hair with bows. Thank you.

[@themamalewischannel8476]

You've done it again ♡ these are super cute ! i can't wait to see what everyone does with them 😍 i have a book called Gothic Knits that i think i am going to use for inspiration 😜

[@LoomaHat]

Jena - you better share some pics my - I would so love to see that !!!

[@themamalewischannel8476]

LoomaHat.com i will forsure !

[@cookie761]

I really love dolls! I want to make some dolls for our battered women's shelter. Do you have a pattern that would make a similar doll but would be bigger? I think little girls need something a little bit bigger doll to hug especially during hard times. I'm a sissy and I like to do everything in erap. The other knitting stitches sort of bother me. Do you know of any patterns like that or do you have some? Also I had a little trouble going to the site to get a printable pattern. I don't really know how to do that. Thank you so much for your help. You do a great job of teaching!

[@LoomaHat]

Hi Cookie - I'm not a fan of the eWrap - especially for dolls but if you use it, knit with 2 or even three strands as one. If you do that you will get a larger doll. By the way - I do plan on having a larger doll later this year. As for printing from my site - the site is content protected for a lot of reasons but you can not print from the site you can only read - sorry. I plan to do a video on the list of issues why I decided to do that. Here is a video on knitting with 2 strands as one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmHFip-Fj7llppY

[@cookie761]

Thank you so much for your answer. I will look forward to your larger doll patterns coming up.

[@crystalkathuria4381]

This is awesome!

[@LoomaHat]

Thank YOU Crystal !!!

[@zakiapaschal4291]

Can this doll stand up with support of a doll stand for display?

[@LoomaHat]

Yes but you have to measure your stand. Most are made for dolls like Barbie but some can be a few inches more or less.

[@joeavila321]

This is so adorable, can’t wait to make one! What kind of yarn do you think works best for the ski n?

[@LoomaHat]

Thank YOU Joe !!!

[@LoomaHat]

Joe with these dolls it best to use acrylic for the skin - in fact I prefer the cheap Red Heart, seems to work best - you can go wild with the hair.

[@joeavila321]

LoomaHat.com thank you! Connie

[@LoomaHat]

Oh wow - sorry ! Thank you Connie :)

[@joeavila321]

LoomaHat.com That’s ok , just want you to know I’m really learning lot from you! Compliments to you, a Great Teacher!

[@どこいぬ]

Im a figure skater so i did everything the same but just added little blades at the end!

[@bonnienevins9041]

I have put pipe cleaner inside the arms and legs so she can be posed like a ballerina.

[@silverblood145]

Can you make a pattern for a star shaped baby bunting?? I've seen them for crocheting but not for loom knitting

[@LoomaHat]

Hi Lauren - I believe Scarlett Royal has one - check out her channel

[@kathylock3647]

Yea I learned my lesson on that with a hat. I have a major problem tho I tried to ask the maker of the hat but no response maybe you can help... the hat called for a size 10 needle but all I have is a 5 will that cause my hat to be smaller how to i fix that

[@LoomaHat]

Kathy thanks for thinking of me but I don't use needles and I don't like to answer questions about another designers project . Sorry.

[@leticiagarcia2159]

Would it come out the same on a 22 peg loom?

[@LoomaHat]

Hard to say - peg count is not necessary size - see this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2POY3ltj56rldk

[@leticiagarcia2159]

LoomaHat.com thank you Denise.

[@saralima628]

Hello, I have a 24-pin loom, but it's bigger than yours (20cm). I tried to make this little doll but it did not work. To give you an idea, how many centimeters is your loom? The most influence in the work: the amount of pins or the size of the loom itself? Sorry for some mistake. I am using a translator.

[@LoomaHat]

Hi Sara! The size of the loom is going to have a bigger impact than the number of pegs. My loom is 12.7cm in diameter

[@eliottenney4997]

Why does my row fifteen end on the opposite side as yours? I've done this three times and I end on the other side. I start knitting row ten flat,right? I wish you had this one as a written pattern,usually I do better visually but not this time. Ugh! I'll figure it out, love the doll and I can't wait to finish one. Thanks for your videos they have helped me so much. I would love to see a messy bun hat video,the other ones I've found don't work out well.

[@LoomaHat]

Hi Sandra - the written pattern will be available once I post part 2 but I would not concern myself to much with which side you end up at the end of a row - that has no effect on the end product. It's not that kind of pattern - so all you have to worry about is having fun with the project. What say you ? : )

[@eliottenney4997]

Thanks so much for the reply, I won't worry about which side I'm on! Looking forward to part two.

[@yarnienerd]

I’ve noticed that, too. I think she lost count at 11 because on 12 is when she says decrease rows 13 & 14. So I just adjust :) Everyone flubs up. Love your work Denise!! You taught me how to loom knit. Something I never thought I’d do!

[@PenguinGal1]

You are really cool I'm going to adjust this pattern to be link from legend of zelda

[@yarnienerd]

Penguin Gal that is awesome! I would love to see that!

[@LoomaHat]

Hi - I’ve never heard of this ... thank YOU- I will do some research

[@SheHasADopeSoul77]

Wondering why yours looks like it has much more rows than mine. I did exactly what you did. 😩

[@SheHasADopeSoul77]

I’ve tried this 3 times def something off. Has to be the yarn. Even tho I used worsted weight. Not all yarn is the same I guess.. I GIVE UP

[@chandramcdaniel5676]

UGH, its not working for me, I've watched the video; but its seems as I am decreasing my stitches come completely of the loom what am I doing wrong, I want to finish. :{

[@LoomaHat]

Chandra there is more then 1 way to decrease - if you want just move the last stitch to the peg next to it and knit off the stitches - let me know if what I'm saying makes sense to you

Denise would never call anyone stupid. Her videos are perfect for beginners, and even those of us who have been looming for a few years. Her videos are light-hearted and fun. Her creations? Amazing! (Stepping off my soapbox now) 🙂
