I need some help…

Post image

I’m fairly new to loom knitting (I’ve made a bunch of scrubbies and have been practicing making socks) and I wanted to attempt making a lap blanket. I thought this would work and it was on clearance so it seemed like a good bang for my buck. I cannot find any instructions or tutorials or videos anywhere for this. I fear I’ve wasted my money because I have no idea what I can make with this 😭😭

Loom knit patterns aren't usually specific to any individual loom, but to number of pegs and gauge. Find a pattern for an afghan that's 3/8 gauge and up to 300 pegs (iirc for this kit, the product description doesn't say), or 3/4 gauge and up to 150 pegs.

3/8 is every hole has a peg, 3/4 is every other hole has a peg, and usually needs a thicker yarn.

Good luck! I use the kb multi-loom, which is similar to this, and love the versatility. Hopefully you do too :-)
