Loom knitting lets you pick up and put down projects with ease. Just wrap your working yarn around a peg, and you can come back to your hat, scarf, or blanket later. With that in mind, if you want to make a large blanket, consider purchasing an afghan loom or infinity loom.

What’s Special About The Infinity Loom?

These unique looms are specifically designed for making blankets and shawls. A regular round loom can make a panel maybe one or two feet wide. Thanks to the infinity loom’s looping S shape, you can make a blanket 5 five wide without having to knit multiple panels together.

I have a blanket that I’ve knitted with Mainstays Cozy Chenille Yarn on the afghan loom. The blanket took more than two years to pull together due to my busy schedule and the sheer size of the blanket. Thankfully, the loom let me put the blanket down and come back to it whenever I had the time.

The shape can be a little unwieldy at times, but it was worth it for the convenience of knitting a singular piece at my own pace.

Which Brand to Buy?

I personally prefer the KB authentic knitting board infinity loom. It can be a little pricey, about $50. However, it is well made. The pegs are sturdy and strong, which is especially useful if you’re struggling with maintaining a consistent tension.

Keep in mind that I am an Amazon Associate and earn a small commission for my recommendations. I don’t get paid for recommending specific brands, however. I only upsell items I use and love regularly. If you find a loom that you prefer to work on for a more affordable price, by all means, work with what you’ve got.

If you’re new to loom knitting, you might want to start with smaller projects on a round loom.  Invest in an infinity loom when you feel comfortable with a few basic stitches and have a good understanding of what it takes to tackle something as big as a queen size blanket.
