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.
