I have found this pattern to work for Newborns:

Cast on 26 pegs, rotate knitting a row then purling a row until you reach a length of 3.5 inches, decrease on both sides until you are down to 6 pegs (total of 5 inches), continue you working as you have for 3 more inches, increase the stitch until you are using 16 pegs, continue until the entire work is 13.5 inches. Equals out to 80 rows total.

I hope this helps.

This was a great tutorial. I am new to loom knitting and was able to make a diaper cover in one day, no problems. Someone mentioned she wished there were verbal instructions, but I am the opposite. I loved that this was strictly visual. I would watch a section, pause, do that section, restart video, etc. Thanks again!

I love your videos! It is so easy to follow my progress. I really love how you set up the steps videos to look at & find where you are in the process of the projects. The music instead of talking is great too!

Very easy to follow along with. Was able to pause video complete a section and then start right back up where I left off.

Hello Tuteate, your videos are my favorite to follow. Who needs a voice when the visual is slow and methodical. If you can list the yarn weight that you use in your tutorials it would be greatly appreciated. Carry on!

Have you used this over a diaper to keep baby dry or is this just for looks (adorable, btw)? How many would you cast on for a 1-18month? Or 15 month old?

[lafilledeletoile]

Hello tuteate ! you are really good ! also your ideas ! i want to challenge you : could you make a video to learn to loom a dress for a kid ?
(sorry for my bad english, i'm french)
what do you think about ?

[catherineportland]

with 36 peg turns out huge with bernat blanket yarn i think the 31 peg would be okay i think i would do the stretch cast off as this bind off always is too tight

[denisebussey]

Could u tell me what age baby this is made to fit please? Thank u!

[leximonroe]

I make baby stuff and I was just wondering if you could maybe use a 33 peg loom I don’t have a 36
