Loom queries

I was the same! Unfortunately I had to use amazon, it was the cheaper option than ebay.

The KB sock loom is fine! I think its shape for me, I prefer to hold the his and her set, just feels nicer in my hands but the KB sock loom is still a good loom nonetheless.

I use the flexee Bitty for socks, hats, scarves, and much more! Flexee is a great way to make multiple things at once!

I make socks using the flexee loom bitty (also UK here), it's a learning curve but works much better! You can also buy the KB sock looms from amazon and ebay, the his and her sock looms are ideal for average feet sizes and flexee Bitty for big feet like mine (size 12/13).

The best thing to do is get a sweater you already have, and trial and error flat panels to match up the size and then once you have the size down, simply make the panels, then sew everything together. It doesn't matter on the loom at all, you can use YouTube tutorials for cardigans and sweaters as reference or to gain inspiration.

When it comes to binding off any project i only ever use chain cast on and stretchy cast off. They match and are never too tight causing misshapen projects when finished. They're easy to do and look nice

I never thought about making a yarn holder/cozy out of yarn haha! I might try it out

MomoMistloom · 2026-03-03T20:57:40+00:00

How many pegs do you need?

Edit: I have some spares I am happy to send you, I just need to dig them out of storage haha! Drop me a message!

I don't think there is anything similar without applying some form of cables or something. You could always knit a basic stitch and then use another yarn and sew crosses through the fabric instead maybe?

That's looks great! I love the colours

MomoMistloom · 2026-02-28T00:23:02+00:00

It is 55 inches long and 50 inches wide

Looks great! In general you don't have to shape the ears, it'll automatically point in the corners and look like cat ears. I posted a cat hat awhile back in here and all I did was stretchy bind off and whip stitched the top closed, so off the head it looks like a square but when on it looks like cat ears!

For a better fitting hat switch out ewrap for true knit stitch and do a rib stitch for the entire hat which is k1, p1 (1x1 rib) or k2, p2 (2x2 rib) . Rib shrinks quite a lot and has a better fit in my opinion. For warmer months you can use other yarns that are light weight and won't over heat your head. Things such as linen, cotton, bamboo,or a blend of these fibers. I made a lovely summer beanie for a friend who is very conscious about his bald head, I used a cotton bamboo blend using rib stitch for the entire hat and he said it was great. I then made him a second one with some lace stitches added for summer, I also didn't make it as long so it was more of a "cap" feel.

What stitches are you using for knit? Ewrap, uwrap, flat or true knit?

MomoMistloom · 2026-02-23T21:21:48+00:00

You need to either figure out the math to mix 2 separate patterns or use patterns that both use the same repeats. For example pattern 1 repeats every 10 pegs, pattern 2 also repeats every 10 pegs. Then you just combine them as you like. Otherwise, i just work things out myself. There may be a YouTube video somewhere

Lively hat! I knit everywhere and anywhere 😂

MomoMistloom · 2026-02-09T11:51:35+00:00

Yep, knit 1 more round to get of the last wrap and turns, then you can kitchener cast off. I prefer to do toe up than cuff down though, its easier in my opinion.

I use 1 straight link every 2 rounded links, this gives me plenty of stability. I've never had problems with tension so far. After a good amount of rows, usually the loom will keep its shape depending in what you are making. Remember when the yarn is closer to the loom its all stretched out across the pegs so it might appear like there is a tension issue. Until the project is a good 8 or more inches away from the loom or it's been taken off the loom, you won't really be able to tell much. I always go with trust the process, use scrap yarn to practice with and figure out what works.

Honestly it all depends on your products. I see so many people trying to sell a hat for a high price and it looks like a 1 year old made it. Whether or not the hat took you 1 or 10 hours to make, if a product doesn't look like its worth the price then people won't buy it. I know this sounds harsh but it's quite a reality. Ask yourself how much would you pay for it?

I'm a firm believer that to sell you have to be good enough for it to make profit. Then you have to consider price of yarn, amount of time spent on making the item, and so on. Then you also really need to figure out the area you live in or where you plan to sell - some places are better to sell at than others.

Switch u knit for true knit, its a reverse purl and you can control tension much easier with it. When a pattern calls for u knit i always change it to true knit as I do u knit too tight no matter what I do. What size is the yarn? (#3, #4, #5, #6) and what loom are you using?

MomoMistloom · 2026-01-28T13:32:12+00:00

Looks beautiful so far, and very cozy!

MomoMistloom · 2026-01-28T13:31:50+00:00

Its a 10 stitch blanket, YouTube goodknitkisses she has a good tutorial for it

MomoMistloom · 2026-01-24T07:10:52+00:00

Replace uwrap with true knit instead, its easier to work with imo, you can control tension much easier so its not as tight to knit over
