I purchased a set of oblong looms provocraft knifty knitter, and would like directions on putting together a blanket/afgan. I am tired of making scarfs.
I was at the craft store and found several pamplet-style booklets and Provo's book #3 has something they call a Carnival Throw - looks perfect for a baby. You could email me at kultgirl (at) hotmail (dot) com if you want a scan of it :)
I make strips like a scarf. I then sew or crochet them together.

Where can I get the actual instructions for the Knifty Knitter long loom?
By jayne brooks from Santa Rosa, CA
I found my book for long loom instructions at Hobby Lobby store. You should be able to get it at any craft store.
I need help with the purple rectangular Knifty Knitter. The instructions of how to get started on this loom are impossible to understand. This loom doesn't have the rounded ends with a peg, just 18 opposing pegs. I can't find any videos on the web to help. Once I understand how to put on the yarn and knit the first row, I can take it from there. Thank you kindly!
Yahoo groups has a few groups of knifty knitter groups. They are VERY helpful and have instructions, videos, books and free patterns as well as being able to ask others about problems and questions.
Just go onto Yahoo, then to groups and do a search for knifty knitter, and loom knitting.My first project was a dog sweater for my poodle. It was VERY easy to do.
I also have the puple rectangular Knifty Knitter - but mine came with an end peg. Perhaps you should contact the company about getting another peg?
Do you have any instructions on circular knitting on a long Knifty Knitter loom?
By Brenda from PA
I bought some "Loom Clips" for less then $4.00 that allow me to change the number of pegs on my long loom to any size I need. For instance, if your pattern calls for 18 pegs, you just put the loom clips on your long loom so that you have an 18 peg oval, and then you follow the pattern the same way you would for a round loom. Here is a picture of the Loom Clips.
How do you use the rectangular (purple) Knifty Knitter loom to do a single knit scarf?
By mattie from Spokane, WA
You just knit using one side. Youtube is the best place for videos that show how to finish off the end.
The first several rows on the oblong Knifty Knitter are too loose, even when I work with two strands of yarn at once. This makes it hard to join squares together firmly. Any suggestions?

How do I use a single knit on a long loom? The video supplied shows how to go about doing the first row, but fails to show how to connect the chains and cast off. Can you please help?

I just started a honeycomb stitch scarf on my long loom and realized I don't know how to bind off this particular one. A video or instructions would be helpful. Thank you.

I purchased the long purple loom, and somewhere between my mother and my son, the instructions are missing.
I bought the Knifty Knitter long loom series and there was no instructions with it. I know I should be smart enough to do it without instructions but I guess I'm not.
