Hi Denise: I have successfully posted the pictorial version of the T-Rex and the Puppy Dog dish/washcloth silhoutte patterns. I would love the share the written version or translations with everyone else. How can I get the pdf versions of these to you so you can share with others? I truly love all that you do and WOW to your most recent pocket scarf pattern idea. I watch for your response on how to get the patterns to you. Kind regards – Deb
Hey Deb, sounds awesome. Can you email it to me… denise@loomahat.com
Hi, I have a set of 4 looms and for my first project I would love to knit hats for premature babies, but the smallest one I have is 24 pegs which is recommended, but it still looks way too big.
Any advice?..
Thanks so much
Julie that loom is fine depending on the stitch you use. If you do a rib stitch it will have more flexibility in sizing. A rib stitch is made up of 1 knit and then 1 purl continue for the desired length.
First: Just wanted to say Thank you. I started loom knitting about a year ago and you were my first teacher.
I recently tried out the double ewrap stitch and combined it with another stitch that I learned from you and it made a rik raj type of look. I adore this. Thank you much!!!!
Thank YOU – glad you’re experimenting
Back in the 70s, I used to make afghans on a 5-6″ loom. You wound the yarn around the loom to make flowers separately. When finished, you crocheted them together into a afghan. I would like the directions to make these again. Any help?
You can knit squares on the 5 inch / 24-peg loom and sew them together
Hello I wanted to say that I am really enjoying your videos, website & etsy shop! I just started loom knitting few weeks ago & little by little I am getting the hang if it!
I will say though my strong sided arms shoulder & my neck is sore after, to point I need to take break for few days. Im clueless on how one most likely sits or positions themselves when loom knitting… Any suggestions?
Hi Erica, first I’m super happy that you’re enjoying this cool craft. I would suggest a firm chair with a high back and I rest my loom on my lap and chest. Hope that helps
Hi Denise- thanks for all your helpful videos with easy to follow directions! I have been following the baby bootie video and have noticed a gap still in the peg 12-1 transition. Any advice or tips to correct this? Am I doing something wrong?
Karyn – make sure you’re not using baby yarn – it’s too thin and I now use a different technique for the heel called a German Shortrow.
What happens to the piece of string once you release it from the anchor?
You will need to weave it in. I have a new project video coming out tomorrow, The Mug Rug – at the end you will see how to weave in the ends.
Hello. I love your videos. What loom would you recommend to buy in order to make male hats fit size, not slouchy, and use only one string of #4# worsted yarn.
Thank you.
Hi Andreas. One single loom does not answer that question because it really depends on the pattern – what stitches are used. Here is an example of a hat made on a loom with a single strand of yarn – Click HERE.
to whom it may consern I bought the case of the three rectangle looms and when the shipped them one was missing the peg to the loom. is there a way that you can send me the hole set of the looms long one please. they are the set of four. 21-0441

Hi Leah – I don’t sell looms. You will have to check with the manufacturer for customer service.
I’m looking for a hooded cowl pattern, Wondering if you have something like that? I love your videos very easy to follow. Thanks in advance
Hi Norma, thanks for asking – not yet
I am trying to make fingerless gloves on the small round loom. I am using the ewrap to get started, then the u wrap to finish my first row. I am then only using a purl stitch and making 20 rows. When I go to make my cuff, the pretty pattern is on the inside.
Yeah – the knit stitch is the purl on the reverse and the purl is the knit
I just started loom knitting and thanks to your videos I’m feeling a bit confident. My baby daughter will be born in March and I’m knitting things for her. Your videos make it so easy.
I saw a picture of the royal baby Archie on the BBC website wearing a knitted hat. I’d post the link but that’s not allowed. I understand. Anyway, I’m confident I can make that hat. You’ve taught me well.

I need a pattern for a baby yoda coffee cozy
Hi Marilyn – thanks for the request but The baby Yoda is a trademark character
Your contact form above is broken and just showing code.
I was trying to find out how to tell you a link to a scarf pattern is broken as it is trying to go to craftsy, which is now bluprint.com. It is your Farrow Rib Stitch Scarf Loom Knit Pattern & Video… I’d post the link to the page, but it won’t let me.
Robin – thank YOU so so sooooOOOO much. I have fixed it.
Hi Denise,
i love your videos have used a few now i am starting a baby blanket for a new born would a really super chunky wool be best as am thinking it then won’t have as big gaps between stitches to get fingers or toes into if you know what i mean. also is there a particular video of yours that would be best for this project?
Dawn – it’s as much about the stitch as it is about the yarn – check out this one : Click HERE
Today, I had the pleasure of receiving my new pair of scissors. What a pleasant surprise. I entered, but really did not expect to win. Thank you so much. I will think of you each time I use them. They will remind me to thank God for giving you the talent to create and teach so I and others can enjoy loom knitting. Thank you for sharing with us. Wishing you and your family a very merry Christmas and a healthy, happy and prosperous new year.
Phylis, thank you for being so kind, taking of your time to leave me this beautiful message. I sooOOOoooo appreciate you and all the support you have given me. You have blessed me.
Hi, I just found your amazing blog with all of these fun projects!
I am desperate to find a way to loom knit a lego brick hat. Any chance you have a way of doing that?
Hi Amanda – can you give me a link where I can see one. As long as there’s no trademark I can try.
Hello Denise!
Thanks for all your videos and ideas.
I have seen the wicker stitch in only a couple of YouTube videos and they are all on needles. I don’t think this stitch is proprietary and I would love to see it on the loom.
Pattern on needles (2 row repeat):
Cast on odd number
Row 1 (right side) – Slip, *KTBL the 2nd stitch, don’t drop the stitch, KTBL the 1st stitch, drop both stitches. *repeat till end of the row
Row 2 (Wrong side) – Slip, *P the 2nd stitch, don’t drop it, P the 1st stitch, drop both stitches. *repeat till end of the row
I know that KTBL is eWrap and the Row 2 purls are knits on the loom. I have tried and tried and I just cannot get it to work.
Thanks,
William

Hi Denise thank you for sharing your knit stitches and patterns with us, I am looking for a pattern with the Daisy stitch for the loom but all I can find are done with needles, can you please show us how is done. Thank you very much appreciated.
Hi Bilerka, the closes stitch tutorial to the Daisy is the Star. Tuteate has a video: Click HERE
Denise,
I am blind, so I use the written instructions instead of the videos. I am working on the drawstring cast-on, and when I used my flower loom and scrap yarn, I was able to pull the piece closed. However, when I tried it with my 31-peg loom, I could not cinch the piece closed. I’m not quite sure what I’m doing wrong. By the way, I want to thank you for writing out instructions for those of us who can’t see the pictures and the technique in the videos. I was thinking about starting a blog or something that gives detailed instructions on doing various crafts, but with a ton of information specifically geared toward people who can’t see. For example, I could write something like, “Stitch X feels like Y on the right side, and like Z on the wrong side.” Any thoughts on my idea to start a blog for visually impaired crafters?
Hi Bethany – thank YOU – written instead of video was not something I had considered as better. People are always asking for videos. It’s always GREAT to get feedback with a different prospective. Please let me know of any other ways I can improve to meet the needs of the blind community. Really, I soooo appreciate it. I have some videos I will need to go back to -great to know. As for the drawstring – the more fabric you have the harder it is to close. That’s why the higher peg count makes it more difficult. After you cast-off thread a need with the working yarn and feed it through the cast-off. You will need to sew in a circle and then pull, sew in a circle and then pull, might take about 2-3 rounds to close completely – but it will close.
FYI, under pattern notes. Stitches: knit, purl, slip 1 wiyf (with yarn in front) should it be wyif
Yes that’s correct – sorry about that
Hey there!
I followed the instructions perfectly but my brim looks nothing like it’s supposed to I don’t know what I’m doing wrong I’m very new to all of this
Hi Dana,
I watched your video – that was awesome – way better then descriptions or even pics. Ok, so I sent you an email but just in case in is a copy of my answer:
You’re not doing anything wrong from what I can see – but you are using a textured yarn. The yarn as a HUGE effect on the look of your fabric.
Hi Denise,
I have a problem with my rib when I try knitting sweaters. My rib ballons outwards instead of laying flat or being indented. Do you have any idea why this might be?
I’m a self taught loom knitter and Ive learnt a great deal from your videos. Thank you! ?
Are you using the eWrap version of the knit stitch? If yes – use the Uwrap instead
Does anyone know how to loom knit a poppy for rememberance
Rachel – can you give a link to a finished project
If anyone has the KK purple 48 peg loom, can you tell me if the pegs are different from your other KK looms. I recently purchased a new one on eBay in the original package and the pegs are smoother and are made of a different plastic than all my other KK looms. The tops are slightly different also and the pegs have a semi glossy finish.
Denise,
When looming the Chinese Wave, do you cast on first? How many rows do you cast on with? If you cast on rows one and two (left then right), those do not count towards the Chinese pattern do they? The cast on is separate right???
Hi Valerie, Here is a post and video that might help some Click HERE – But I would suggest first practicing with some simple patterns that have complete projects instead of stitch patterns.
What do you mean 3 stitches +1?
Hi Valerie – the plus 1 is an extra stitch used to balance the pattern. Here is a post and video for more details: Click HERE
After watching your video on how to make baby booties, I quickly learned how to make them and I now want to learn how to make child and adult socks. I recently bought a Boye sock loom and I would like to know if it’s the same concept.
Yes – but I would suggest a search on YouTube

Just purchase the pattern for the Coco Doll from Etsy. The written pattern rows and the video does not match. So Ignore the video on the rows and follow the written?
Love the patterns
Hi Mary, at the beginning of the pattern it does say that the video is only to be used as a reference but to make Coco – you follow the written pattern.
Hi Denise,
Thank you for all the wonderful loom-knitting videos. I have a question. I have decided to loom knit scarves for “Operation Gratitude”. They pack boxes full of goodies for our Soldiers deployed. They ask for scarves measuring 4inches wide x 36 inches long. I’ve loom knitted 2 scarves over 36″ inches. How do I calculate how many rows for 36″ inches long? Is there a math formula? I was thinking of using a 36″ long string tied to the loom. I loom knitted the two scarves using your no curl garter stitch/video. I’m using two balls of yarn, #4 worsted weight yarn. Any suggestions will be helpful. Thank You,
Hi Irene – depending on your stitch, you yarn, your loom and your particular style of knitting – it should be approximately 5 rows per inch for the garter stitch scarf. I would suggest making a swatch.
Hi Denise! Thank you for making so many videos! I started loom knitting about 2 weeks ago and have become addicted. Your videos are so helpful and clear. I absolutely love this bamboo stitch hat. I’d like to make this hat in white for my nephew for his christening. He is 4 months old. Can you suggest which size loom I should use and how I can adjust the pattern for a baby? I appreciate any help you can offer! Thank you!
Hi Sara – you can use the 31 peg loom – here is a cute baby boys hat pattern: Click HERE
I have tried to do a brim. Once I try knit over it is really hard. Any suggestions.
Phyllis – the first row may be a bit difficult but you should be fine after that.
Hi Denise. I love your videos and website! I inherited a wooden circular loom 40 years ago from my grandmother. My sweetheart bought me a set of looms last year. I had no idea there was more than one stitch all these years! I found you first on YouTube, when looking for directions. So far, my favorite hat is the scarf ear warmer. So fun to make. But finding your videos of other stitches!!! I can’t wait to start a new project. Thanks for your easy to follow directions. I will be a faithful follower!
THANK YOU Kelly – you’re like a cheer leader for my soul. Thank you – we all need a little boost every now and then.
I could be missing it but do you have an infinity loom blanket tutorials? I want to ask you first before I go hunting for someone else. I like your tutorials the best.
Hi Barrie – THANK YOU for being sooooooo super sweet. I do have a blanket scheduled for next month – but not on an infinity loom. I try to stay with the same 4 loom size and just switch brands every now and then. Well, as much as possible so that my followers don’t need a lot of different looms.
does your hand(s) hurt/fall asleep while using the pick? i just finished my first hat,( thanks to you) and almost gave up.
also, i need to go back a few rows to correct mistakes. do you have an easy way? lol
Jan – try a grip for your pick ! LOL – Click HERE I do – so my hands rarely hurt

Hi Denise,
First of all thanks for your helpful videos.
Just wondering whats the stitch above your knotted fringe called and do you have a video on it?
Hi Neeta, not sure if you got this answer before – I believe I left it on Facebook or Youtube – but it just a few rows of knit and the mock crochet – I don’t have a video of the stitch in particular but you can see it on this hat video. I actually couldn’t remember for a bit what I had done – you know – it’s that ADD 🙂 – Any for the post and video Click HERE
I have been making Izzy (aka Comfort) Dolls on a 12 peg flower loom. They are shipped away to go to refugee children.
Here’s my process:
Working around, one peg at a time, I wrap the yarn around each peg, move to the next, etc. I repeat the process 9 times, then cast over the first 8 rows. If using two strands of yarn, I wrap 5 times, and cast the first 4 (which would still be 8 strands) over.
I have watched several videos, and it seems that the casting over is done after each strand. If I do that the weaving is away too loose and there are holes in the product.
To make a complete doll, here’s the process:
Shoes: 3 rows of 8 strands per row
Pants: 6 rows of 8 strands her row
Shirt: 5 rows of 8 strands per row
Face: 6 rows of 8 strands per row
Hat: 3 rows of 8 strands per row
All told, it takes about 3 hours to loom a doll.
Can anyone suggest a different way of going about this?
Thanks.
Tom
Guelph, Ontario, Canada
Tom,
I have NO idea what videos you have been watching. The pattern and techniques sound all wrong. Are you loom knitting your dolls?
I don’t know of anyone other then me doing the comfort doll on a loom video: Click HERE
I don’t use a 12 peg loom – I use the 24-peg loom
I don’t use the e-wrap stitch – I use the u-Wrap.
I don’t use 8 strands – I only use 1
The reason you have holes is because you “Wrap” the peg. I’m using a U-Wrap – and 3 hours is just about right – the more proficient you become the easier.
Take a look a the video completely before you start the project:
Hi Denise,
Please let me know if there is an easy pattern to use for a dog sweater knitted on a round loom.
Tuteate has a really good video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCczVrkpT3Y
Hello Denise! I was wondering if I could send you pics of the project I’m working on?
Yep and thank you – denise@loomahat.com – or post them on the Facebook page
Thank you so very much! You’re wonderful and very patient lol
Thank you Denise for your videos on Youtube. I made my first hat today, Christmas red and white, and it came out wonderful.
Thanks again, Danny
Danny THANK YOU ! I LOVE Love love those words, ” I finished my first hat” !
Thanks for So Much Good Video – I am enjoying loom knitting so much thanks to you! Have been searching for a video of a baby hat with pom poms on ends, kind of like Mickey but simpler and easier and maybe it is a little boxy and flat?Have seen pics of them, but do you have a video by chance? You have spoiled me and you are the Best Teacher! Thank you!!!
Hi Liz, yep – I have one- Click HERE

Denise,
I make loomed hats for our humanitarian group, but I’d like to add a matching or complimenting little blanket buddy or comfort blanket (they’re called many things…security blankies, etc. ) but they are the little mini blankets that have little dolls or animal heads, etc. attached. I’d love to know how to attach your comfort dolls to a small loomed or crocheted blanket. I’d welcome any suggestions you have about how to secure the dolls to the blankets in a tight, yet attractive manner. I love your site and youtube videos…they were my first intro. to looming and they continue to be my favorite…and I’ve referred several friends to both as well as your FB page. Also, do you have any plans to do any patterns/videos using Tunisian crochet? Just been introduced to that, too! Thanks so much,
Hi Peg,
Thanks for this info, I’ve been wanting to know the name of this project. I’ve seen them before but they were always labeled as just blankets. This is why I LOVE questions – they help everybody. 🙂
From my research the little heads are not attached they are part of the blanket. Once you finished the blanket you fold it and stuff (with cotton or poly-fil) and sew the middle forming the little head. This is the simplest way of making them. to attach a bulky item to the blanket after its made is a pain because it’s never really well secured enough for a baby or small child. I am considering this for a later time – just not sure when.
About the Tunisian crochet.. I never say never so I’ll say that I probably won’t be crocheting in the near future. Knitting with a loom is just easier for me – for now.
Hello: Just wanted to thank you for your time and expertise you give us loom knitters that need tips and information from pros like yourself. Have you considered doing a video for Mary Jane adult slippers made on a loom? I have seen lots of videos for babies but not adults. I have seen a couple of written patterns for these slippers, but the instructions are lacking. Would love to see a video for making a nice pair of Mary Jane’s. Thanks again for all that you do.
I have made the kids style hat from YouTube..
Would like to make a tighter weave for adults( my husband) any suggested videos

You are so talented and all the patterns are just fantastic.
God bless you and all the people who help others.

About a week and a half ago I had a package shipped to you containing approximately 30 caps/hats of various sizes. I am confined to a wheelchair, so I had someone else mailed the package and am unsure of what day it was sent. I would like to know if you received the package and, if so, are my items the correct size? I would like to make more hats and caps, but I need to know if I need to adjust the number of rows on any of the hats or caps. Thank you.
