What can I make on a 24, 31, 36 or 41 peg round loom?

With the classic 4-loom round set: 24 pegs makes preemie/newborn hats, 31 pegs baby-to-toddler hats, 36 pegs child-to-adult hats, and 41 pegs large adult or slouchy hats. All four also knit flat panels for scarves and blankets if you work back and forth instead of in the round.

How many pegs do I need for a scarf?

Multiply your desired scarf width by your gauge. At a typical large-gauge loom gauge of about 2 stitches per inch with two strands of worsted, a 7-inch-wide scarf needs about 14 pegs worked as a flat panel.

What is the difference between e-wrap and u-stitch?

E-wrap (twisted stockinette) is the stretchiest, fastest loom stitch. U-stitch is flatter and denser, giving roughly 10-15% more stitches per inch — so the same loom produces a slightly narrower fabric in u-stitch. This generator adjusts gauge automatically.

How do I finish a loom knit hat?

The standard finish is the gather bind-off: cut a long tail, thread it through every loop with a yarn needle, lift the loops off the pegs, pull tight to cinch the crown closed, and knot on the inside.

Loom Knitting FAQ

What can I make on each loom size?

24 pegs → preemie/newborn hats · 31 pegs → baby/toddler · 36 pegs → child to adult · 41 pegs → large adult & slouchy. All four knit flat panels too (scarves, blanket panels) if you work back and forth.

How many pegs for a scarf?

Width × gauge. At ~2 sts/inch (2 strands worsted, e-wrap), a 7" scarf needs ~14 pegs worked flat.

E-wrap or u-stitch?

E-wrap: stretchy, fast, the loom default. U-stitch: flatter and denser (~10–15% more sts/inch) — the generator adjusts the math automatically.

How do I close a hat crown?

Gather bind-off: cut a ~24" tail, thread through every loop, lift off the pegs, cinch tight, knot inside. It's built into every hat pattern this tool writes.
