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.

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.
