Knitting a pinwheel blanket on a 36 peg loom.

by Laurie

Hi, I am attempting to knit my first pinwheel baby blanket. I had found the pinwheel pattern off of youtube but they were knitting a dishcloth and not a blanket. Can anyone tell me how many panels I should have before I take it off the loom? I am using two different colors and would hate to have taken it off too soon. I have 6 panels now. It is a 36 peg loom. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much for all the information. I am going to look into it all. Sorry I have not responded before now but I have had some problems with my internet and I have to replace my router so I am using a backup internet, unfortunately it's not great at being reliable.

My blanket ended up being 8 panels and I think it really turned out great since this is the first time attempting it. I really enjoyed working the pattern and thought that it was fun to do. I am going to make myself one of these blankets in the near future (this one that I just made is for my niece's baby girl that is due in May).

My next projects are going to be mittens, a few hats, some baby booties/socks and a couple of shawls. I can't wait to get started on these.

Again, thank you so much for all the information and the links and I am going to go check them out when I have a little bit of time.
