Creating Ribbed Knit on a Long Loom

You can use any of the Knifty Knitter long looms, or rectangle loom, to create ribbed knit. You can also create ribbed knit with a round loom, but the method is different.

1. Secure yarn to the anchor peg.
2. E-wrap the first bottom peg.
3. Pull yarn to peg on opposite side of the loom just above it and E-wrap.
4. E-wrap the peg directly next to it.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the loom is fully wrapped.
6. Turn at the last peg and wrap in reverse. The path of the yarn should follow the previous path of the yarn identically. 
7. After the loom has been wrapped twice, knit off.

How to Panel Knit on a Long Loom or a Round Loom

The secret to knitting a flat panel on either type of loom is to turn and wrap back to the starting peg, rather than in a circular motion around the loom.

1. Secure the yarn to the anchor peg.
2. E-Wrap 10 pegs.
3. Turn at the last peg and wrap back to the beginning peg. (Each peg will be ewrapped 2 times.)
4. Knit off (lift bottom loop over the top loop.)
5. Wrap each peg once more and knit off again repeating until the knit is the desired length.

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.
