In this tutorial you will learn how to loom knit a baby blanket (or any size blanket) on a round loom, straight loom,

innity loom, etc. and matching baby hat on a round loom from start to nish. e nal width of my blanket using

all 41 pegs was about 16" width. e nal length of my baby hat was 5.5". Using dierent yarn, loom gauge, plus

other dierences will make the width and lengths dierent than mine. You can use a round loom, straight loom,

innity loom, etc. for the blanket, depending on the size you’d like to make it. Using a smaller gauge loom will

make the stitches tighter if that is what you like as well.

Blanket pattern: You will use an odd number of pegs from any size round or straight/long loom you’d like. You can

also use an innity loom to make larger blankets. I like the Knitting board afghan loom, but I’ve heard good things

about other brands such as the Darice brand. I like the 48 peg (5/8" gauge) Knitting Board loom for a similar size

to the one used here in this tutorial. To make smaller or larger than 41 pegs, add/subtract stitches in multiples of 2.

As explained in detail in the video, you will add/subtract the extra stitches in the center of each row in the pattern.

Hat pattern: You can use this pattern on any size loom with an even number of pegs. For odd numbered looms, you

will have to adjust the pattern. I would suggest ending each K1, P1 row with an extra P1.

BLANKET PATTERN

CAST-ON

e pattern uses all of the 41 pegs or any odd number of pegs if using a dierent loom.

Place slip knot on the anchor peg. Going counter-clockwise, Ewrap pegs 1-41. Going back in the other direction,

UWrap and knit o pegs 41-1. You will knit the rst peg in the cast-on row only.

BLANKET BODY

Note: All knits in the body of the blanket use the Ewrap knit stitch unless stated otherwise as Uwrap. You will

always skip the rst peg in the row, and you will always knit (Ewrap or Uwrap) the last peg of the row.

Body:

Rows 1-2: P1, K1 (last peg in row is an Uwrap knit - you can use Ewrap if you wish)

Rows 3-4: Knit

Repeat rows 1-4 until desired length

End blanket aer you nish row 2: this will prevent the ends from curling and match the beginning P1, K1 rib

stitch.

FINISHING/ BIND OFF

I used the basic at panel bind o with a slight modication as shown in the video.

Step 1: Ewrap 2nd to last peg and knit o. Move loop on 2nd to last peg to the last peg and knit o. Move the loop

from the last peg over.

Step 2: modication: Ewrap last peg & 2nd to last peg, knit o both pegs. Move loop on 2nd to last peg to the last

peg and knit o. Move the loop on last peg over.

Repeat step 1 for about 2-3 times, then step 2 once. Repeat this until you have 1 loop le on the loom. Using your

hook, go underneath the loop on the loom (like the beginning of a purl stitch), scoop up the working yarn through

the top loop and pull completely through. Take o of loom and pull tail to secure knot. Weave in the tail, knot and

weave in more as shown in the video.

HAT PATTERN - Use the 24 peg loom

CAST-ON

Cast on using the method of choice. I used a double Ewrap cast on method.

Cast-on video tutorial: https://youtu.be/5wYyz2OiGeY

BRIM

Note: All knits in the brim of the hat use the Ewrap knit stitch

Rows 1-4: K1, P1

BODY

Note: All knits in the body of the hat use the Ewrap knit stitch

Row 1: Knit

Row 2: Knit

Row 3: K1, P1

Row 4: K1, P1

Repeat rows 1-4 until desired length

Note: Finish o with 1 row of knit to make your drawstring bind o better.

I completed 18 rows in the body of my hat, for the hat shown. As noted in the beginning, depending on the yarn

you are using and other variables, your length may be dierent. Measure the hat as you go until desired length.

FINISHING/ BIND OFF

Finish your hat using the method of choice, I used the drawstring bind o method.

ROSES

Mark o 3 pegs from a 3/8" gauge loom (or whatever loom you are using). See video for gauge dierences.

Number them 1-3 from le to right for peg reference in the instructions.

CAST-ON

Make a slip knot leaving a long tail. Place slip knot onto peg 3. Double wrap then knit o each peg for pegs 2-1.

ROSE

Uwrap peg 1 twice. There will be 3 loops on the peg. Knit off the bottom 1 loop over the top 2 loops, leaving 2

loops on the peg.

→ Row 1: Ewrap knit pegs 2-3

Uwrap and knit off peg 3, 3 times

← Row 2: Uwrap peg 3, Ewrap peg 2 and 1. Knit o pegs 3-1.

Note: on peg 1, knit off the bottom 1 loop over the top 2 loops, leaving 2 loops on the peg.

Repeat rows 1-2 until desired length. I did 26 for the small hat rose and 56 for the larger blanket rose.

FINISHING/ BIND OFF

Knit bottom loop over top loop on peg 1, move that 1 loop to peg 2 (don’t knit off).

Ewrap peg 3, then knit off pegs 2 and 3.

Move the loop on peg 3 to peg 2 and knit off.

Bind o: Cut yarn from skien leaving a long tail. Using your hook, go underneath the loop on the loom (like the

beginning of a purl stitch), scoop up the working yarn through the top loop and pull completely through. Take o

of loom and pull tail to secure knot.

Roll up the rose and using the tail yarn, secure the rose to itself by sewing the lower loops as shown in the video

tutorial. Use the other tail to secure the rose to the blanket and hat.

shown in photo or as shown in video tutorial.
