Loom knitting: Blue and yellow knitted afghan. May 14, 2021

I had quite a bit of pale blue and yellow yarn and some royal blue. This is what I did with it.

A full size afghan on a large loom becomes unwieldy to handle. This set up helped once I could no longer easily hold it. The large loom is resting on the metal base for our keyboard. A plastic jug is holding the yarn with which I am working. The remainder of the yarn to finish the project is in the laundry basket under the afghan.

Materials:

large knitting loom

loom knit hook

size H crochet hook (for edging)

Yarn:

LB-Light blue

Y -Yellow

RB-Royal blue

Gauge: 5 rows makes 1 inch and 3 pegs makes 1 inch.

RB: 30 rows
