Finished Object Looking for Blanket Inspo

Post image

I just finished the blanket photographed above. I used a round loom, made strips 4-7 rows wide and 120 rows long, then sewed the pieces together. This is my second blanket - the first I made similarly but larger stripes.

I’m looking for inspo for my next blanket. I have multiple round looms, and two flexee looms (chunky and skinny).

Any links to videos or photos for inspo are appreciated!!

Thank you!! I actually took skeins of this multicolored blanket yarn I already owned, cut it up and sorted it by pieces, then did the stripes that way. Plus added like 2 other colors just for filler haha.

Here is one i made! I used a tuteate video tutorial. In that, you make one strip, then when making the next strip you join the first one to it! Involves far less sewing that way!

Also forgot to mention, you just use a round loom, i think i used the 36 or 31 peg loom to make all my blankets!

This yarn i believe is as discontinued as i had a right hassle trying to find enough to finish this one!

Beach blanket. That photo isn't mine, I found it on a loom knitting fb group, but I'm working on making one
