Why Loom Knitting?

Getting Started with Loom Knitting

  • Loom: Choose a loom suitable for your project. Round looms are great for hats and circular items, while rectangular looms are perfect for scarves and blankets. Here is the loom set I started with.
  • Yarn: Opt for yarn that matches your loom’s peg size. Bulky yarns work well for larger pegs, while finer yarns are ideal for smaller pegs. This is my absolute favorite yarn brand. You can find it at most craft stores but I’ve included a link for convenience!
  • Hook: A loom knitting hook is essential for lifting loops over the pegs. Most loom knitting sets will include a hook and cast off needle but just in case, you can grab some here or at your local craft store.
  • Scissors: To cut your yarn as needed.
  • Pattern: Start with a simple pattern to get the hang of the basics before moving on to more complex designs. I haven’t used a pattern in years but it’s good to have. You can find all kinds on Pinterest.
