Knitting Stitches
Loomed, one stitch at a time!
Flat Stitch
Wrap one row onto pegs. Lay the yarn over the cast on row. Knit off by
lifting the bottom stitch over the laid on yarn. Makes a very tight stitch.
Knit Stitch: Cast-on a beginning row.
To begin knitting, lay the yarn above the “cast on” row. Use your looming
tool to draw the yarn through the top loop to form a new loop. Lift the old loop off of the peg. Place it behind the peg.
Place the new loop onto the peg. Tighten a bit.
Purl Stitch: Cast-on a beginning row.
To begin purling, lay the yarn below the “cast on” row, with your looming
tool, draw the yarn through the bottom loop to form a new loop. Lift the old loop off of the peg, placing it behind the peg.
Place the new loop onto the peg. Tighten a bit.
Stitch Patterns
Garter Stitch
Knit one row, purl one row.
Stockinette Stitch
Single knit all rows.
Reverse Stockinette Stitch
Purl all rows.
Rib Stitch
To make ribbing for cuffs, sweaters, necklines, etc
Row 1-Knit one, purl one. Repeat for the remainder of row.
Remainder rows are, knit the knit stitches, purl the purl stitches.
Bobbles
The bobble is one stitch that gets knitted five times. This makes a
small bobble. Learn this technique, add more loops, make larger bobbles!
1. Decide, where you want the bobble to be.
2. Knit on that peg 5 times. (use a stitch holder to place on the first
stitch)
3. Take the last loop off the peg and hold it on your knitting tool.
4. Reach down and get the first stitch. This is where the stitch holder
really helps! Place the stitch back on the peg. Remove the stitch holder.
5. Place the loop being held on the tool, back onto the peg.The peg
has now 2 loops.
6.
Knit off, by reaching through the side of the peg.
Chunky Braid-in-Purl Stitch
The Chunky Braid-n-Purl is loomed, one peg at a time, rather than the traditional
e-wrap method of wrapping the whole loom.
Directions are given for flat panel looming.
Row 1
peg 1, e-wrap and knit off.
peg 2, purl stitch.
peg 3, e-wrap, one wrap
*repeat Pegs 2 & 3 pattern to the last peg.
Row 2
Where there is an e-wrapped peg, e-wrap one time.
Where there is a purl loomed peg, repeat the purl.
Row 3
Where there is an e-wrapped peg, knit off the stitch, pulling
3 loops over 1 loop.
Where there is a purl loomed peg, repeat the purl.
This is one stitch pattern.
Basket
Weave Chunky Braid-n-Purl
If you'd like a basket weave look, begin the next pattern with a purl.
Reverse the pattern for 3 rows, purl, e-wrap, purl, etc.
The next stitch pattern would begin with an e-wrap, repeating the pattern for 3 rows.
*Loom
Check
At row 3, there should be 4 loops on every other peg, except first and last, and the pegs
that were purled.
Tip For Looming in the Round, as for making a bootie, follow pattern without knitting
off the first and last pegs.
I-cords
Great for making ties for gathering your bags and accessories!
Make I-cords with small gauge looms using 4 pegs.
Begin by e-wrapping 4 pegs.
The working yarn will be on the last peg.
Return the working yarn to the first peg, by bringing the yarn behind the pegs.
E-wrap. Knit off. E-wrap and knit off again, once for each direction (the coming and the
going!)
E-wrap and knit off peg #2.
E-wrap and knit off peg #3.
E-wrap and knit off peg #4.
E-wrap. Knit off. E-wrap and knit off again, once for each direction (the coming and the
going!)
Return the working yarn to peg #1.
Repeat this pattern until you've loomed the desired length.
Remove from the loom using the open removal method.
Binding Off Methods,
“taking it off the loom.”
Gathering Bind Off
Thread working end of yarn onto a needle. Guide needle down each peg. Lift off loops onto yarn end, gathering after
all loops off pegs. Tie a knot.
Open Removal Bind Off
The Open Removal Bind Off is used for flat panel knitting or when a flat edge is desired, scarves, pot holders, shawls,
etc.
Here's how to do it;
At the last peg, chain 1.
Place the chain stitch on the next peg. Place your looming
tool through the top loop, catching the bottom loop, pulling it up, and through the top loop, and off the peg.
Check the top of the newly made bind-off stitch. It looks
like a chain stitch.
To have a more loose binding, crochet one or two chains
between each of the removed stitches, using the working end of the yarn.
