Knifty Knitter Types of Knit

For those new to loom knitting, it's often confusing. There are really 3 different methods, or types of knit that can be made on the Knifty Knitter looms. They are:
  1. Single Panel Knit
  2. Circular Knit
  3. Double Panel Knit
 Circular knitting works by spiraling around a loom (round or long). Single panel knitting requires that you knit back and forth across the length of one side of the loom, reversing direction at each end. Double panel knit is just like single panel knitting, but there is a special way of wrapping the long looms to make it thicker.

Here is a photo representation:
