Thank you for this video. I started last night and my 'scarf' is not dropping down yet from the loom and the pegs are filling up with yarn, making it more difficult to knit. Is it supposed to drop down on it's own as you knit or am I supposed to remove the pegs? Thanks!

@tkaplow each time you make a new row, it should drop down inside the ring of the loom and eventually out the bottom in a tube shape. If you have maybe 10 rows and it's bunching up, check the original slip knot you tied on the outer start peg. Unhook that and let it free fall down out the bottom of the loom and the knitted "tube" will follow. Hope that helps.

This is so helpful! Would this method of knitting work on a rectangle loom? The instructions for mine show a criss-cross pattern rather than the yarn over method, and I don't know how to switch colors that way.

[starnstv]

@PaigeDF Yes. You can e-wrap around a rectangle loom just as on a round one. It's easiest if they have middle/center pegs at both ends so there is not a gap in the stitching. In the end it will still turn into a tube scarf, though probably be a bit wider. The other criss-cross stitch instructions for rectangle looms is to make solid scarves or thicker blankets (using 2 threads at a time). I was thinking of doing a video on that criss-cross rectangle stitch on a new video soon.

hi do u know how to avoid the edges from curling if only going part way around round loom I'm even using thick homespun yarn but still curls and do u know a way to gt rid of curling

[starnstv]

@nafordebi It seems every time I try to do a flat panel, the ends tend to curl. The only way I've found is to use a straight, rectangular loom. You can still do a flat panel but the ends stay a bit straighter (will still curl a tiny bit), or if you do a figure-8 type stitch on a rectangular loom (makes a thicker scarf) but it turns out perfectly straight. I am thinking of posting a video soon of how to do a rectangular loom scarf next.

I just wanted to thank you so much. I bought this kit and the instructions were so impossible to follow. I have never used this loom before and you made it so easy. Thank you so very much!!!

When I knit hats on the loom i use two strands of yarn. In the video only one strand was used. What is the difference of one strand versus two when it comes to scarves?
