Knit Off



In loom knitting the phrase "knit off" means to use the loom knitting hook to pull a loop up and off the peg. After the loop is pulled over the top of the peg, it is released toward the inside of the loom. Loom knit is created by repetitively wrapping the loom and knitting off to create knit. When the loops are released toward the inside of the loom (knitting off) knit appears in the center of the loom, growing downward with each row.

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.
