In this video I go over how to make a chunky knit blanket on a knotted otter loom. I explain in detail how to do the color carry to have a seamless edge in your colors and explain a better cast off method for a less noticeable color jog!
You find the loom in my shop at https://the-knotted-otter.myshopify.com/
One thing that I forgot to mention is when making an actual blanket, you are going to want to knit 9 rows.
The pattern is as follows:
cast on and knit 8 rows in first set of colors
knit 9 rows of second set of colors - for as many sets as needed
knit 8 rows in next color set and then cast off
This is important because the the cast on edge does count as a row, as well as the cast off edge. So we are technically knitting 9 rows for the beginning colors and the last colors. I hope this clears up any confusion!
