This form of knitting is very easy!  All you need is a loom, pick, needle, yarn and scissors.  The only difference between the small blanket and shrug is the size of the loom that is used, also the shrug requires a small amount of sewing.  The small blanket can be used for a baby blanket in a stroller or carriage, a blankie, play mat or your pet might like it as a lining for its bed – very washable.  The yarn we use is soft, light weight and washable.  For these projects the yarn we use must be BERNAT BABY BLANKET.  For those who have never loom knitted, this is a great hobby that you can share with others.  It is fun, easy and fast.
