How to loom knit a cowl (super easy for beginners) DIY TUTORIAL

This step-by-step tutorial shows you how to knit the simplest cowl ever using a loom. So, if you have never loom knitted before, this project is perfect for you! And if you are already a loom knitter, this video tutorial may help you guide your family and friends on how to start with your beloved hobby.

In this tutorial you will learn:
- How to start your cowl (how to cast on stitches on the loom)
- How to knit your cowl (how to work e-wrap knit stitches)
- How to fold and close your cowl directly on the loom
- How to take your work out of the loom (how to bind off)

LOOM: The loom I use in this project is a 41-peg XL gauge round loom, because I wanted to make an adult-size cowl. If you want to make a baby cowl, then you better use the 31-peg loom. And use the 36-peg loom for children and teenagers.

YARN: The yarn I use here is a bulky weight yarn (size #5). If your thread is thinner than mine (a medium weight yarn), I recommend you to use 2 strands at the same time. For this project, I used 90g (3.17Oz) approx. of a yarn called Phildar Rapido.

I just made my first cowl! It's so beautiful. Thank you! For anyone worried about the bind-off being too tight, I just did it VERY LOOSELY. And I mean loosely!! It came out perfect using this method.

Instructions were so simple to follow. It’s great for beginners. I loved that it was just a knit stitch and not purl or anything too complicated for a complete beginner. I used Lion’s Brand Hometown yarn #6 super bulky. Turned out beautifully! Thanks for the detailed instructions & pattern! I’m going to work my way through more projects on here.

Great visual presentation! Other videos go too fast assuming I’m a natural, which I’m not! Your video gave me a confidence boost to bind off my piece! A big thank you! 🙏

Я вязала пряжей #4, в две нити, т.е. сразу из двух мотков пряжи. Но ещё не знала, как это вяжется. Училась. Не знала, как закрывать петли. Обвязала, как на шапке, когда с петель снимают. Но не затягивала. Нормально носится. Очень нравится. Шарфик, очень похож на Ваш. Спасибо, за видео. Научили, закрывать петли. Теперь, буду знать, как его правильно окончить. Большое Вам спасибо, и новых идей👍

[juliareid]

Well done vid technically, hands never out of frame and frames never out of focus. Nice white background, can see clearly every stitch you make. All knitting tut vids should be this clear and precise. Thanks.

[janne]

This is a great cowl. Not tight around the neck at all. V warm and soft as the knit is fairly loose. Will fit an average weight man also. Well mine does.

[heidihontsch]

[candynkeith]

[brendaemerson]
