Knitting on a Long Loom
- Make loop in yarn and put it on 1st peg of front row (left side when facing width of loom)
- Now turn the loom and hold loop end next to you with loom straight out it front
- Take working yarn straight across to 1st peg of back row and loop on top of peg in a figure 8 pattern. Continue wrapping yarn to end of loom, always wrapping from top of each peg
- Push all the loops down
- Place yarn tail over first row to knit over it
- Begin wrapping in the opposite direction by always wrapping yarn on top of the peg and shadowing your previous work:
- Once you have two loops on each peg, using your fingers or a pick, bring the bottom loop over the top loop
- When you turn it around and go back, the 1st peg will only have one loop
- See tutorial for full step-by-step process
- When you turn it around and go back, the 1st peg will only have one loop
- See tutorial for full step-by-step process
Casting Off
- Start at opposite end of working yarn
- Using a pick or your fingers, take back row loop and put it over the front row loop all the way to the end of the loom.
- All loops will now be off the back row and on top of the front row
- Now that there are two loops on front row, with pick, put bottom loop over top loop on each peg all the way to end of loom
- Push down all loops that remain on front row
- Starting at opposite end of working yarn, from the 2ND peg, go BACK, OVER, FORWARD
- Meaning, take 2ND peg loop BACK and put it on top of the 1ST loop; lift the bottom loop OVER the top loop and then move the loop that remains one peg FORWARD. Do this all the way to the end of the loom
- Always start with the 2ND loop and move it back one
- When you get to the end with one loop on last peg, lift it off and cut the yarn.
- Put the yarn tail through the loop and pull it to knot.
