How To Loom Knit a Blanket Or Afghan In a Cable Knit Pattern

[@ruby-deeflor7099]

This has the clearest instructions. Thank you!

[@elysegnade9967]

Thank you for making this video. Because of this I actually learned to loom knit during 2020, and have been improving my skills ever since. Not only did I discover a new hobby, but it also helped me with my anxiety. Again, thank you for this inspiring video.

[@kokopaleo]

This is one of the nicest compliments I’ve ever received. Thank you so much for sharing this. It means the world to me.

[@tondechristian4302]

This was by far the best tutorial I have watched. Thank you so much. I am brand spanking new to loom knitting and I am making this blanket for my son's graduation. Thank you :)

[@xXAshHoleXx]

You are awesome! I don’t have a loom like this (yet😆) but I am so interested in doing this!! You do a wonderful job of explaining how to do it! Thank you for making this!

[@roykersey2287]

I just lucked up on a spinning wheel, so I'm looking for some ways to use yarn. I have read several Kindle books on this and couldn't quite get the idea from them despite decent picture and then were just a repeating stitch. Jocelyn, your video is just what I needed. You are completely clear and you go into enough detail about how to do the pattern. The repetition is just what I needed to get the idea! The printed directions below will help me remember exactly what to do...they'll help me keep track without having to go back to watch the video again...I think printed directions with the video is the way to go. Thanks so much to you and to Joyce Weber! Because of your efforts, I think I can dive right in and make a blanket like this!

[@mackenzieelliott7481]

I just started getting into looming a couple of months ago!! I am kind of ambitious and really want to try this!! I live in Alaska so having a blanket like this will be wonderful!! 🥰

[@adamakaru2683]

I really admire your patient of explaining the process!. The results are wonderful and great I watch your presentation twice thank you, so much.

[@PaynesWife]

This turned out to be a beautiful blanket. I had never worked with this loom nor had I ever done any knitting cables. This video was very easy to follow and Jocelyn has a great way of explaining every step. I'm now looking forward to my next loom project.

[@wittniwittan6673]

About how long did it take you?:)

[@PaynesWife]

@@wittniwittan6673 I'm retired so it took approximately a month - I work on it leisurely.

[@sherylkatz6253]

I just HAD to comment!! You are a NATURAL!!! An awesome teacher! Making a video on You Tube is not so simple!! I know you did a terrific job as you explained very very well spoke very clearly and provided the information to allow and encourage others to grab a loom and create!! You chose the KB "S" loom or afghan loom which is not easy to many loomers yet your video made it very easy!!!! I have been a loom knitter fir many years. I hope you continue to make videos using any loom you choose as you truly are a NATURAL at teaching!!
Thank you!!! I also thought how nice of you to lay out in your description the steps.
To make it even nicer was the very kind person who wrote up the pattern in their comment so others who may need written pattern/direction can c,c,p then print it out to have as well as the video!! Lovely!! When will you make another video? Please do, you ae providing such a great gift to people. Excellent!! Please feel free to contact me if you need anything at all.🤗👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@kokopaleo]

sheryl katz this comment just MADE MY DAY! Thank you for your kind words of encouragement. I’ve been poking around at ideas for a new pattern for a few months, but as a professional musician and full time homeschooling mom, it can be difficult to find the time! But your comment inspired me to get back on the horse and keep working at my idea until I find something that works. Best wishes!

[@gregoryvozar6236]

Thank you for your clear, logical, concise instructions on making this afghan. No cats, cell phones, forgotten items or other distractions. The repetitions were just enough to make the pattern clear or give time to jot each row down. Watching your work allowed me to see I’ve been wrapping too tightly, hence my problems with this loom. Great oral and visual lesson.

[@kokopaleo]

Thank you for your feedback! I always love hearing from people who were helped by my instructions. Happy knitting!

[@rebeccawright2038]

Gregory, right on!

[@carolpaslay970]

This is one of the best videos I have seen ! The instruction is so complete and easy to follow. Thank you!

[@lesleysmith8300]

This is awesome to watch. I have realised how you can loom with this shape. I have only done the round and long ones but always wanted to try this figure eight shape. Puzzle solved 😂. Thanks for sharing. ❤⭐🎄🎶🎼🔔🎍🧑‍🎄

[@krystalconyers5121]

This is absolutely perfect. I am new to using the looms and I understood this very well. I love that I can go back and re watch Rows 1-4 while I am doing it until I get the hang of it. Thank you for the clear details!

[@Diane-zh6eg]

I just went in Jo-Ann Fabrics to get materials for one project and happened to see this loom kit...went to U-tube to find out about it...saw your video....guess what???? I'm sold....I'm making an afghan now!!! I already crochet...but this sounded so fun and I never used a loom before...can't wait to see how it goes!!!

[@kokopaleo]

Miss Daisy thank you for your kind words! I'm so encouraged to know that my teaching style is helpful to you. I am a music teacher by profession, but this is my first time teaching knitting. I will make more videos!

[@blueraspberrylemonade32]

I agree, she's explaining it in great detail, but did not stall or talk too fast, and even created a visual example before she started. This was well made for someone who haven't done this before, but didn't take too long to get to the point for those who have(bonus:backrground music is well balance with the audio). Brava

[@hogwallowsoaps]

Jocelyn Kokopaleo I certainly agree with Miss Daisy. I love your teaching style. I actually went onto Amazon and ordered this loom right after I saw your video. I’d love to see you make more videos with it. It’s very Intriguing and peaceful to watch. :)

[@rebeccawright2038]

Yes, I agree! Wow! This video is excellent! Can't wait to get a loom and already am planning an afghan for my sister's Christmas gift this year!
It's soo hard to find a good teacher! And, I confess, repetitive fake music backgrounds, excessive talking, long nails, multiple rings, telephones, and animals (I love them, but NOT in a "teaching video, please"!) only inhibit the instruction process and irritate me no end!
I love Denise's superb Loomahat videos, and this one ranks right up there with hers!

Thank you for this tutorial. It's my first time using a loom so there are a lot of errors, but for the first time ever doing something like this, it was a lot of fun and you are a very good teacher. Had to watch how to do that pearl stitch about 20 times before I figured it out, but that's what was so nice about video's. Hope to see more because I'm not sure what to do now LOL :)

Absolutely beautiful! I can't wait to get my loom so I can make my mom an afghan for Christmas. We have so many from her grandmother and even ones she made herself. I now want to learn 28 years hah

Hi there I have this one cant wait to use it .

[@DenisEssiambre]

I just got my KB "S" Loom last week. I've been watching a ton of videos and practicing on a round loom at the moment. This is going to be my first Afghan pattern. Your instructions are fantastic!!!

[@kokopaleo]

Wonderful! I hope you love the finished product as much as I love mine!

[@DenisEssiambre]

@@kokopaleo Well it didnt start off too well. Mainly talking about price at this point. I found a great yarn called Hudson's Bay 6 super bulky (or chunky) by Lionbrand. Each skein was only 89 yrds, I'd need about 25 skeins. At $8 CAD I thought it to be a bit expensive at this stage. So decided to combine 3 strands of different colours of Bernat premium 4 medium (chocolate tweed, aran tweed and cafe au lait). I figure I only need 15 skeins total at $4/skein. Crossing my fingers it works!!!

[@kokopaleo]

Denis Essiambre I hope so too! I think the total cost of my yarn may have been close to $80. But I figure this is an heirloom - something I will use forever until I pass it on to children or grandchildren. The real “cost” is all the hours it takes from start to finish. But it’s totally worth it! The blanket is both warm and heavy. Two things that provide great comfort!

[@DenisEssiambre]

@@kokopaleo Mine will come to about $60. It's my first one so I'm happy with that. My initial Lion Brand would have been over $200. I'll save that for a future blanket when I have more experience. I know all about comfort and warmth as I am also a quilter and have made tons of those. I felt like I needed a new hobby.

Over one year in, and 23 or 24 skeins down (i lost count), one more to go and I will be done my afghan. It was a long process as I had set it side many times to work on other projects, life in general, moving, etc...but it will be done. Didn't expect it to be so heavy but I guess my choice of yarn made it so. It will definitely keep me warm during our cold Canadian winters (like we're experiencing now).

Your loom project is the first one that has interested me enough to try looming. I'm a lover of amigurumi crochet but have had no desire for knitting. I do love the knit stitch and the look of cable knitting.
I live in a hot environment 95% of the time so blankets aren't my thing. What else can you make with this infinity loom besides blankets? Oh! hats, gloves, mittens, sweaters aren't a need either.

Lovey thanks for posting i going to do it

[@loriwingfield]

I know this video was a couple of years ago, but just found it and I love it. I've done the round and square looms and created an afghan connecting each round and/or square. The one issue that I had when I knitted which I didn't see a sample in this video is, "what is the cleanest / easiest way to add the new yarn when the ball you had runs low? I am definitely one of those that starts out with my afghan straight and then 3' down I notice I became more relaxed. Doing the loom definitely helps prevent that. Thank you.

[@kokopaleo]

Sorry for my late reply to this. I know a lot of folks weave in a new skein slowly, but I’m always too nervous about things coming unraveled. I literally tie the ends together. It’s not what you’re “supposed to do” but it gives me peace of mind.

I started this and it looks beautiful and I’m ready to cast off. I’ve noticed that where I started has a beautiful scalloped edge. But in the video that doesn’t seem to be addressed. It’s just a basic cast off. Is there any way the blanket can begin and end with a scalloped edge?

[@barbaracash808]

I have to tell you I have started this afghan and am loving it. This is a great beginners afghan. I was starting to loose interest from being frustrated from trying by myself.

Quick Question: What a totally awesome video!!! Thank you so much. It was concise and easy to follow - even though I had to rewind 10 or 12 times to get the exact pattern. I bought this loom and LOTS of Red Heart Super Saver yarn, Medium 4. Should I double the yarn for this afghan????

Do you keep a counter of some kind to keep track of your rows? Thank you for such great, clear instructing. You're a keeper!❤

What I do with this pattern since it changes row to row is I divide a piece of paper into four sections writing row 1 row 2 row3 and row 4 in the sections. I then make a tally mark every row in the respective section. Easier for me that way than a traditional row counter

On my last completed blanket, there ended up being many excess hanging loops throughout most of the blanket.
