The half hitch is a simple loop that holds yarn in place on the loom. (round, rectangle, long, etc.) In most cases, it will be sufficient to simply wrap the yarn around the anchor peg. As you can see in the last photo, the yarn in the half hitch is fed under the yarn above it, making it a more secure when you need to leave the project for a while.
Step 1: Use thumb and index (first) finger to make loop in yarn.
Step 2: Turn the loop ( or twist it) so the yarn attached to the loom is in front or closer to you.
Step 3: Place on peg. Pull yarn tight
Step 4: This will hold the yarn in place, but easily removable. If it slips, use two half hitches.

Fun Fur Skinny Scarf for the Knifty Knitter Flower Loom
This is a fun fur scarf pattern that can be easily loomed by a beginner. It has detailed instructions for someone new to loom knitting. It is also a skinny scarf, so it knits up quickly.
Skill: Beginner
INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1: The pegs
on the Flower Loom have not been glued in. Remove every other peg from the loom. You will now have 6 pegs in the
loom. | |
Step 2: Holding both the boucle yarn and fun fur yarn together as one, secure the yarn on the side of the loom on the anchor peg. | |
Step 3: E wrap all 6 pegs. Step 4: Wrap the pegs again and knit the bottom loops over the top loops and over the pegs, releasing the yarn to the inside of the loom. You have now completed one row of knitting. |
|
Step 5: Continue wrapping and knitting over until your scarf reaches the desired length or until you have run out of yarn. |
|
Step 6: End with about a 12” yarn tail. Thread this tail on a yarn needle and sew through each of the six loops. Pull up tight and tie off. |
|
Step 7: Thread the starting yarn on the needle and sew up the beginning end. Tie and weave in the end. |
|
Step 8: Beads can be sewn on the two ends for weight and decoration. (This yarn does not make good pom-poms or tassels. Decorations like beads or buttons work best.) Note: For a furrier scarf, use 2 strands of fun fur yarn. Provo Craft Tools
