The Candy Cane, Cocoa, Gift and Wreath washcloth patterns are written for the 1/4 inch fine and the 3/8 inch fine gauge looms with 33 - 34 pegs flat knit. All use worsted weight cotton yarn. A soft cotton like Comfy works very nicely for the pattern. Standard kitchen cotton will also work, too.
In addition to step by step, row by row directions, a color-coded chart is also included with a customized loom knitter's key. You may knit with either - you do not have to read a chart to make the patterns.
The patterns are written in 24 point large print text and are screen reader, tablet and e-reader friendly.
This loom is the perfect size and gauge to make a 10-stitch baby blanket with bulky (#5) yarn, I own other looms in this gauge, but they're round--fine for hats or scarves, but awkward for making blankets.
I am an elderly knitter with hands that don’t always do what I tell them. Larger gauge knitting looms mean fewer dropped stitches. But I love the look of projects done in a finer gauge. I took a chance and bought this loom to make a full size Afghan for my husband. For this Christmas. Madness! I had to start over a couple of times because I couldn’t fix a mistake. But lesson learned. In this age of instant gratification, I realized that a slower, more measured pace eliminated dropped stitches. And that I was a much more relaxed knitter. I’m 20 mistake free inches into the 70 inches for this project. I love the way it looks and feels. Sometimes it’s nice (and good for me) to ease up and enjoy the process. I’m very happy I bought this loom and am having this experience.
