Knifty Knitter Basics

The basics of how to use a knifty knitter loom are not well spelled out when a kit is purchased. There are no instructions included with the loom on how to wrap the loom, how to knit off the loom, or how to remove the project from the loom once it is finished.

When I was new to the knifty knitter this confused me honestly. The secret is that you can use instructions for any loom knitting on the knifty knitter. For those of you that are completely new to loom knitting, I have prepared several articles explaining "How to Use a Knifty Knitter Loom," "How to Wrap the Loom," and "How to Knit Off the Loom." I hope you find these helpful.
