Q: What is the difference between rectangular knitting and circular knitting loom?
A: You can make pretty much any pattern that you have on a flat (rectangular) knitting machine whereas on a round knitter you are pretty limited. I recently bought a knitting machine (flat) and can do everything with it that I want including cables, rib, intarsia (making pictures with different colored wool), you name it. It does take a while to get the hang of a knitting machine and is way more versatile.
If you want to make socks and any other tube like stuff then a circular knitter is what you need. But…if you’re going to fork over the cash for a knitter get a flat one and be willing to sew the seams. You’ll be much better off and get more for your money.
the rectangular loom is for knitting flat pieces like scarves and the round is more for like hats and booties, but there are ways to knit flat on the round and round on the rectangle too.
