E-Wrap

The E-Wrap is a method of wrapping a knitting loom. It gets its name from the loops made around each peg of the loom. They appear as a small cursive letter e, with the bottom of the cursive e crossing on the inside of the loom and the top of the e facing outward on the loom. It is a very basic wrap that can be mastered quickly by beginners.

Two-Over-Two Stitches on a Loom

Just as the name implies, this stitch is done by pulling two loops over two loops above it on a loom.

  1. Wrap the loom 4 times.
  2. Knit by using the loom hook to pull the bottom 2 loops over the top 2 loops on each peg.
  3. Wrap the loom 2 more times and repeat step 2.

One-Over-Two Stitches on a Loom - Double Stitch

This is a slight variation to the one-over-one stitch.
  1. Wrap the loom 3 times.
  2. Pull the bottom loop on each peg over the two loops above.
  3. Two loops will remain on the loom. Wrap once again and repeat step 2.
 This is called the one-over-two stitch because each time one loop is pulled over the two loops above it. This stitch is also known as the "double" stitch.
