Vintage Magic Looms are a sweet little tool, and I love them.

But, the boxes have a baffling oxymoron-
a photo of a crocheted granny square,
which could lead people to assume
that the Magic loom produces
crocheted granny squares.
They don’t.
But you can make wonderful squares
with Magic Looms, and then
combine those squares
to make other charming things.

Like this
tiny bog coat
that I made with
four little squares
from the 2 inch
Magic Loom.
Here’s the link
to that tutorial:
The coat in the photo is about 3 inches tall, but, you could make a full size Bog coat for yourself with the Magic Looms.
I’ve made a video tutorial explaining how to work with the Magic Loom: Hope it’s helpful!:
I enjoyed the video and learned something new … but I think I’ll stick with crocheted granny squares! They just seem more versatile (combined colors, tighter weaves) and easier to do while watching TV
