Loom Knit: Granny Round

Who says you can't make granny squares if you're a knitter! Well, in this case, we're technically making Loom Knit Granny Rounds, but either way it's pretty neat. Just use this free tutorial from Kristen Mangus of GoodKnit Kisses and learn how to use this easy loom knitting project to create a Granny Round. Once you're done, you can use these rounds as trendy coasters, or sew them together to create a funky afghan. To complete this project, you will need a round 36-peg loom.

This is really wonderful! I was wondering, how would you do this on a small loom? (the flower size loom to be exact.) Would it be 3 instead of six, or something else?

Thanks for the wonderful tutorials. :)

@kittylove012 it should be two sections of 6 so you decrease 3 rows. be sure to put the other rows on first. try alternating ew for purl rows in the beginning.

You mention that this could be the base of a bag and that's what I want to accomplished but how do I add it back on the loom to finish the bag? Can that be done or do I have to hand crochet the body of the bag?

@gtac37 Sorry for the delay, I didn't see this comment til now. You could make a tube and then. Sew on (with yarn & tapestry needle) the granny round for the base after the two parts are made. Also you could place the complete edges of the granny round onto a loom that it would fit and start the bag from the bottom up. I hope that helps!

@1carwin Thank you so much! Yes subscribing, watching & sharing my videos is great support for me. If you like, I do sell a few patterns in my ETSY shop. To help you for your granny circle blanket check out favecrafts website for their Meet & Make on Kristen Mangus. Just google it and you'll find a picture of how I connected some for a blanket. I just shifted the rows over and single crocheted it together. I'm sorry YT won't let me put a link here. Thanks for watching. Feel free to find me on F

Do you have to use bulky yarn or you can you thinner yarn

[GoodKnitKisses]

@berrygirl201 I think it hides that longer ladders on the larger looms but you can use a thinner yarn on smaller looms. The other thing you can do is keep tugging on the yarn when drawstring cast off. You can manipulate it to evenly get the ladders smaller. Use this technique freely on smaller looms with different yarn I am finding out, yay! Thanks for the comment. -Kristen

I have wanted a video like this for the longest ! Thank you

[ncsanta]

I haved learned sooooo many different knitting projects from your videos,thanks sooooooooo much for sharing!!!!!!!

[gtac37]

@GoodKnitKisses No worries. :) After finishing the granny circle, it fit on a smaller loom and it was easy to continue and loom knit the body of the bag. It turned out nice.

Love this pattern....Just finished making seven rounds. Trying to decide how I want to put them together. I really appreciate your videos--clear, easy-to-follow instructions. How can we best support you?.
