Knitting Looms

"Knitting looms, boards and rakes are much easier than needles"

Knitting looms 01

Yes you can make money work at home with knitting looms. The looms I used on many of my projects are the Knifty Knitter* looms. The reason I used these for my items is because they are the most available and are easy for the beginner. You can usually find these looms at Wal Mart. Original patterns for loom knitting is a good sales item.

The baby booties pictured below were knit on a loom.

I do have and use other looms with many different gauges. I enjoy them all, but for the beginner these are easy to find, the patterns and instructions are fairly easy to follow and the price is reasonable.

With this gauge loom or board you usually have to use two strands of yarn or 1 strand of very chunky yarn to have a nicely finished item. But that also makes it much easier to handle.

The looms I used on most of these patterns were the round ones, boards or the 12 peg flower loom, all by Knifty Knitter*. You can of course use any type with the same size gauge. In other words, the pegs are the same distance apart as the Knifty Knitter.

Which loom to use?

Many knitting looms, boards or rake patterns can be completed on a round loom, as long as you have the proper amount of pegs.

When using a round one in place of a board or rake, you do not connect when making a flat item. Instead you will reverse your direction of knitting at the end of the row. Than continue with your pattern.

The Dreaded Tension Swatch

Yarn varies in size and brand so you will find some items come out a little smaller or a bit bigger, just according to the yarn you use. I know we all hate to make a tension swatch, but it is a good idea when working on a fitted item.

The blankets or afghans swatch really doesn't matter that much as a bit larger or smaller is not a big issue.

Loom knitting is lots of fun for the knitter in all of us. You will love the speed and ease of these great knitting looms.

After you have mastered some basic patterns, be sure to add your own imagination. You can make many different items to add to your inventory.

I made this dog sweater on a Knifty Knitter Round Loom.

I made a crochet pattern with the same colors.

With knitting looms you can make hats, scarves, slippers, booties, sweaters, afghans and more. You are only limited to your own imagination. Items make up fairly quickly so you can accomplish a lot in a small amount of time. This is to be considered when you are wanting to make a profit.

A lot of people (the purest) think that loom knitting is only for children, but that is not so. You can make just about anything on a loom that you can make with knitting needles. Remember we want to make money and work at home. So don't get caught up in what is knitting and was is not. Loom knitting is as old if not older than hand knitting. But that is not what we are about here.
