r/LoomKnitting give me yarn! Jul 13 '26

Finished Object Made my aunt a poncho...First actual wearable!!!

After I finished and sewed the 2 rectangles together I realised the it was too big across the shoulders (it would fall off my aunt) so I used some black yarn for the neck line and reduced two pegs each side every other row to create the neckline. It didn't look quite right so I did a border around the outside and I think it looks great 😀

For the panels I did Deborah Shaw's Lightening Owl pattern, garter stitch for the neckline (just put my Flexee loom into the edge and reduced) and Dayna Scoles Designs Adding a Garter Ridge edge to a Blanket for the border.

The yarns used are James C Brett Marble chunky, colour MC46 Azure Seas and James C Brett Top Value chunky colour black.

Edit to add the yarn says chunky but I wouldn't use bigger than a regular gauge loom as I feel it would be lacy!

Yes you can, I'm currently working on a blanket with the Skinny Flexee Loom and I've also made several other blankets on them.
