How to Loom Knit Round Baskets (DIY Tutorial)

This step-by-step tutorial shows you how to knit a round basket using a loom. The whole project is worked in flat panel, so any loom works (round looms & rake looms). The basket is made of a circle base, that is worked first, and a 2-color body that is loom knitted directly attached to it.

In this tutorial you will learn:
How to start your basket (how to cast on stitches on the loom)
How to work e-wrap knits and purls
How to work progressive increases
How to work in flat panel
How to loom knit a circle
How to loom knit parts together
How to finish every part working a seamless join (how to bind off)

LOOM: Any loom can be used. The loom I use in this project is a 31-peg L gauge round loom, but I don't use all the pegs, I just work on some of them in flat panel.

YARN: The yarn I use here is a bulky weight yarn (size #6). If your thread is thinner than mine (a medium weight yarn), I recommend you to use 2 strands at the same time. For this project, I used a yarn called Katia Canada.
