How to Purl Stitch on the Knifty Knitter

If you've been wondering how to purl stitch on the Knifty Knitter loom, here is a quick and easy tutorial showing how its done courtesy of the Provo craft website.

1. You push the loops on your loom up so that you can run the working yarn under these loops.
2. Lay the working yarn below the loops on the loom.
3. Use your Knifty Knitter hook to pull the working yarn through the loops on the pegs. Yes, the loops on the pegs! :)
4. Knit off pulling the loop off the peg and replacing it with the one that was pulled through.

The knit and purl on the knifty knitter loom

When I began knitting on a knifty knitter, I had no instructions, so I sat down and made up what I called the "No wrap stitch." It is basically the purl stitch, as done on the Knifty Knitter loom. But, I didn't know that at the time. There are really two methods to making the purl stitch on the Knifty Knitter. One involves pulling the yarn up through the existing loop on the loom. You can see that method here: "How to Purl Stitch on the Knifty Knitter Loom." The second method involves lifting the loop over the loose yarn, so it doesn't need to be pulled through the existing loop. See "How to Make No Wrap Stitches," for instructions on using this method to purl stitch on the Knifty Knitter loom.
