4.  Knit the last 2 rows very loosely.
5. To finish, move all loops from one side of the loom to the other side. This closes the bottom of the bag.

Basic Beanie Hat on the Knifty Knitter Yellow Long Loom

This pattern is for a basic beanie that measures 18 inches around (circumference) and is 11 1/2 inches tall. It is knitted on the long loom, so it's one of the few patterns for a hat on a long loom, rather than a round loom.

You will need:

• Red Heart Super Saver Yarn - Light and Lofty in your choice of color
• Yellow Knifty Knitter Long Loom
• Knitting Hook
• Yarn Needle

1. E-wrap and knit 50 rows using the one-over-one stitch.
2. Cut the working yarn leaving a tail that is at least 12 inches long.
3. Thread the yarn through a yarn needle. 
4. Starting with the peg closest to the working yarn, thread the yarn through each loop and remove it from the peg. 
5. Move to the next peg and repeat step 4. 
6. When all the loops have been removed from the loom, pull the yarn tight, knot it and weave it into the inside of the beanie.

Honeycomb Knit on a Long Loom

Honeycomb knit is a beautiful and stretchy knit that is ideal in blankets and scarves. It is created by alternating the direction of the double ribbed stitch to make a "honeycomb" pattern.

1. Secure the yarn to the anchor peg.
2. E-wrap the first bottom peg.
3. Pull yarn up to the peg directly above it and e-wrap.
4. Pull yarn to the peg directly beside and e-wrap. 
5. Pull yarn down to the peg directly below and e-wrap.
6. Pull yarn to the peg directly beside and e-wrap.
   
   
   
   
7. Repeat steps 3-7 until you've reached the end of the loom.
8. For the second wrap, trace the path of the yarn back to the beginning peg. Trace the path exactly as it appears in the previous row.
9. Knit off.
10. Continue wrapping and knitting until you have completed 7 rows.

1. Reverse the direction of the boxes, so that the yarn follows the opposite path, crossing from peg to peg where there was an empty space in the previous row.
2.  Knit seven rows with the yarn in the opposite path.
3. Return to the original path of the yarn and knit 7 rows. Continue until the knit reaches the desired length.  

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.
