#LOOM KNITTING HOW TO#

Step 5) Use your fingers, or a combination of hook tool and fingers to lift your original loop off the peg (and put it behind), and position your new loop down around the peg. Step 3) Grab your working yarn with your hook tool and twist the point of it towards the peg into the groove and pull it up between your loop and peg. Step 2) Insert your hook tool in the groove behind your loop and position it in front of your working yarn (Fig. Step 1) Hold your working yarn in front of Peg 1 and below your E-wrap loop. You'll do that initial E-wrap around all your pegs, but when you get back to Peg 1, instead of E-wrapping a second time, you will begin purling. If you're continuing in Knit Stitch then simply work your way around the loom again doing a round of wrapping and then a round of knitting. Once you have two rounds of loops wrapped around your pegs, take your hook tool and pluck the bottom loop up and over the top loop and over the peg, letting it rest behind.Ĭontinue in that fashion all the way around the loom until you get back to your first peg. If you are knitting your first row, when you get back to Peg 1, you will make a round of E-wraps again, doing exactly the same thing, so that you have 2 wraps, one above the other on each peg.

Here's what it looks like from the front.Ĭontinue in that way all the way around the loom.

Then carry that yarn along the back side of Peg 2 and Peg 3 (the peg to the left of Peg 2), and along the left side of Peg 3 towards the front. Step 3) Continue and carry the yarn along the front of Peg 2, and again along the right side of Peg 2 toward the back. Then carry that yarn along the back side of Peg 1 and Peg 2 (the peg to the left of Peg 1), and along the left side of Peg 2 towards the front. Step 2) Continue and carry the yarn along the front of Peg 1, and again along the right side of Peg 1 toward the back. Step 1) Starting on the peg directly behind the knob call that Peg 1, run the yarn up the right side of the peg, along the back of the peg, and then forward along the left side of the peg. Tie a knot or slip knot, whatever works for you, around the knob on the outside of your loom to fasten it. It will make it easier to keep track of my pattern because I would know that all pink pegs are knit stitches and all blue pegs are purl stitches. For example, if my pattern repeat is a K2, P2 Rib, then I would set up my loom with a 2 pink peg, and 2 blue peg pattern repeat. Use your different colored pegs if its appropriate to your pattern. If you are left handed you may want to work counter clockwise. I'm right handed and feel more comfortable holding the hook tool with my right hand and the yarn in my left hand. I personally like to work counter clockwise around my knitting loom, whether I'm knitting a flat panel or working all the way around.

So I hope you enjoy this long awaited post.

I've been wanting to do these tutorials for awhile, but between actually designing and making all my projects it's been difficult to find the time.
