Tube or Panel Knit

When knitting from a Knifty Knitter loom, you can create tube knit or panel knit. Both are possible with any loom. To create a panel, which is like a sheet of fabric or a blanket, you knit back and forth on the loom with a starting and stopping point. To tube knit, like a sock or a booty, you make continuous rounds until your knit reaches the desired length. For more detailed instructions including how to do each and what types of project to make with each type of knit, see: Tube or Panel Knitting on the Knifty Knitter. The scarf in the photo is tube knitted.

Get Started with Knitting Looms

If you have purchased a knitting loom and you need some basic instructions to get started, for example, what is the anchor peg?
how to your wrap it?
what is knitting off?
what is the knifty knitter tool for?
All of these basic questions about how to get started with loom knitting are answered here in my recent Knifty Knitter article: Knifty Knitter Loom Instructions

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.

If you prefer, Googling the words "knitting" and "loom" with any other words you have questions about will give you basic instructions for loom knitting that can be used with the knifty knitter.
