What is a figure-of-eight knitting loom?

It is a figure-of-eight-shaped plastic peg loom used with a loom hook. This shape allows an exceptionally long row of pegs to fit into just 61 × 25 cm. It has 138 pegs and is designed for knitting large pieces, such as blankets and ponchos, in one piece without having to join several sections together.

What is the maximum width you can knit with this loom?

You can knit pieces up to 270 cm wide when knitting flat. It is equivalent to a 148 cm long straight loom, arranged in a figure-of-eight shape so that it measures just 61 × 25 cm. This is the kind of capacity offered by large knitting looms, designed for blankets, ponchos and bedspreads that would not fit on a standard-sized straight loom.

What yarn can you use with this loom?

It is suitable for almost any standard yarn weight, from finer yarns such as Fingering or Sport to thicker yarns such as Bulky (Chunky) and Super Bulky (Super Chunky). Any standard yarn weight within this range is suitable. It is not suitable for Jumbo yarn, so check the yarn weight on the label before starting.

Can you use it to knit blankets, ponchos and bedspreads?

Yes, this figure-of-eight knitting loom is designed for blankets, ponchos and bedspreads. If you are looking for a loom to knit large blankets, this one can produce pieces up to 270 cm wide when knitting flat or half that width when knitting in the round, using yarns up to Bulky and Super Bulky. Its capacity makes these its most common uses.

Is this knitting loom known by any other names?

Yes. It is also known as a Super 8 loom, infinity loom or endless loom. All these names refer to a continuous arrangement of pegs in a figure-of-eight shape. This model is extra-long and is available in blue or pink.

What is the difference between the blue and pink versions?

Only the colour is different. Both are the same product, with 138 pegs and dimensions of 61 × 25 cm, and both include a loom hook and two plastic needles. Choose your preferred version using the colour selector on this page.

What is the extra-long figure-of-eight knitting loom and what is it used for?

It is a plastic peg knitting loom designed for large projects such as blankets, ponchos and bedspreads. Its figure-of-eight shape allows an exceptionally long knitting path to fit into just 61 × 25 cm, making it comfortable to use. The loom hook is used to lift the lower loop over each peg, allowing the knitted fabric to grow.

This knitting loom has 138 pegs. You may also find it referred to as a Super 8 loom, infinity loom or endless loom.

What size pieces can you knit?

You can knit pieces up to 270 cm wide, making it ideal for blankets, ponchos and bedspreads. This is the main advantage of this large knitting loom: with 138 pegs, it allows you to tackle projects that would not fit on a standard-sized straight loom.

How does it differ from a straight knitting loom?

A straight peg loom is usually around 64 cm long, as anything longer would be awkward to handle. This extra-long loom is equivalent to a 135 cm straight loom, but its figure-of-eight shape means it measures just 61 × 25 cm. You get the capacity of an enormous straight loom in a manageable size.

It works like an extra-long rectangular loom folded into a figure of eight: the same knitting technique using pegs and a loom hook, without needing an exceptionally long structure on your table.

Can you knit flat and in the round with this loom?

Yes. You can knit flat, working back and forth to create open pieces, or knit in the round, working continuously around the pegs to form a tube. Both techniques can be used with the same loom, so you can choose according to what you want to make.

Both flat and tubular knitting use the same loom hook. Only the path the yarn follows around the pegs changes.

What yarn can you use with this peg loom?

This knitting loom is suitable for yarns of any standard weight, up to Bulky (Chunky) and Super Bulky (Super Chunky). It is not suitable for Jumbo (extra-thick) yarn. Before starting, check the yarn weight on your ball label and make sure it does not exceed Super Bulky.

What can you make with a large plastic knitting loom?

You can knit blankets, ponchos, large bedspreads and smaller projects too. Although it is not ideal for smaller projects, you can also make scarves, shawls, cushions and bags. Among plastic knitting looms, this one is designed for large pieces: it can produce fabric up to 295 cm wide when knitting flat or 135 cm when knitting in the round. You can choose between flat and tubular knitting depending on your project.

You can make:

▷ Blankets and bedspreads: This loom is suitable for knitting large blankets, either flat or in the round for smaller, double-layered blankets that offer extra comfort.
▷ Ponchos: This loom is suitable for knitting ponchos and other wide pieces, using chunky or finer yarns, entirely according to your preference.
▷ Scarves and shawls: You can also use this loom to knit scarves and shawls, although its main strength lies in larger projects.
▷ Cushions and bags: Create flat knitted fabric using only part of the loom, then join the pieces together with a darning needle.

What is included with the extra-long figure-of-eight knitting loom?

It includes 1 loom hook and 2 plastic darning needles, whether you choose the blue or pink version. The loom hook measures 14 cm, with an 8 cm plastic handle and a 6 cm metal section. Each needle measures 7.3 cm long and has a diameter of 5 mm.

Why choose this knitting loom for your projects?

Because it combines the capacity to knit pieces up to 270 cm wide with a compact 61 × 25 cm design, the ability to knit both flat and in the round, and an included loom hook and two needles. You can also choose between blue and pink on this same page, and it is a Garmon Yarns own-brand product.
