Our take on the Boye I Taught Myself To Loom Knit

The Boye I Taught Myself to Loom Knit is a beginner kit built around an 8.5-inch plastic loom, with a metal hook, stitch markers and a printed instruction booklet. It is aimed at adults who have never loom knit and want to make flat panels and circular pieces without needles. The kit works with a wide range of yarns, so the loom size rather than the yarn limits what you can make. It is a low-cost starter set rather than a full project kit.

Best forTotal beginners who want to try loom knitting before buying more gearCrafters who find hand knitting hard on the wristsSmall projects: hats, scarves, cowls and flat panelsGifts for an adult who wants a screen-free hobby

Questions and answers

Is this kit worth it for a complete beginner?
Yes, if you want to test loom knitting cheaply. It includes the loom, hook, markers and a printed guide, so you can finish a small project without buying anything else.
What can I make with an 8.5-inch loom?
Hats, scarves, cowls, flat panels and small circular pieces. Blankets and adult sweaters need a larger loom or a set with multiple gauges.
Does it come with yarn?
No. The kit covers the tools and instructions; you supply your own yarn. It works with a variety of yarn types, so check the booklet's recommended weight for your first project.
Is it better than hand knitting for beginners?
It is easier on the hands and faster to learn the basic stitch. Hand knitting gives more stitch variety and finer fabric, so pick the loom if you want quick, simple projects.
What is in the box?
The 8.5-inch loom, one hook, stitch markers and a printed instruction booklet. No yarn or yarn needle is included.
When is it cheapest?
Craft kits like this usually drop around back-to-school and holiday sales. Check the price history before buying if you are not in a hurry.
