Loom Knitting Socks: A Beginner's Guide To Rectangular Loom Sock-Making

Making socks on a rectangular loom is a fun and rewarding project. Loom knitting is a great way to create socks, hats, scarves and more, and the rectangular loom is a versatile tool that can be used for various projects and stitches. Before you begin, it's important to consider the type of yarn and loom you will use, as well as the size of the socks you want to make. You can find free patterns and tutorials online to guide you through the process, and with some practice, you'll be able to create cosy socks that fit you perfectly.

Figure-Eight Stitch

There’s no stitch quite as satisfying to wrap around the loom pegs as the figure-eight stitch. The stitch is aptly named for the specific shape that the yarn makes as you wrap the pegs. This stitch is a great choice to make a scarf like this one or go rogue and make whatever small or larger projects you can think of. The tutorial is available for free in both video and written formats.
