2) WRAPPING
THE PEGS: 3)
Wrap LOOSELY (I
place my left thumb near where I am
about to wrap each stitch - see photo#1 below. I loosely wrap
the peg, and gently push the yarn/wrap down, holding the loosely
wraped yarn down until the next peg is wrapped and then I do the same
with that one.) Go CLOCKWISE around the loom to wrap. The actual peg is actually wrapped in a counterclockwise direction- under and over and around - to form a letter 'e'. It should form a cursive letter 'e' as you wrap each one. 4)
Go all around the loom, wrapping each peg ONE time, with 2 (or 3)
strands of
yarn. Now you are
back
at the thumb tac or beginning. (Photo 1 below)
5)
Start wrapping around each peg one more
time for single stitch -
go all around. *** For a tighter weave,
you can use ONE strand and wrap the pegs 3
times instead of just twice - this
gives a tighter
'knit' to the fabric and it's called DOUBLE STITCH-- prefered for
warmer hats. When you are done wrapping twice around, anchor the yarn to the tac by wrapping it around the tac again so it doesn't all unravel. You are ready to knit.Click here to learn to cast on to a KNITTING BOARD Isela's VIDEO of how to cast on to a round loom KNITTING:
7) Repeat knitting around the ring. You
have completed one row of knitting! Now wrap each peg again once
around loom.
Anchor the yarn on tac and knit another row. You are now loom
knitting! Keep wrapping and knitting off.
REMOVING
ITEM FROM LOOM- Bev's Method 1 Makes a 'gathered top'
2) Cut a yarn tail about 15" long. 3) Thread a yarn needle with yarn tail. 4) Insert needle into the 2 strand stitch left on each peg. (figure 1) 5) Pull needle and yarn all the way through the stitch on peg. 6) Lift stitch off peg. 7) Keep removing each stitch on pegs around loom in same manner. (Figure 2) Gather the top and tie a little knot at end of yarn. (Figure 3) 8) Using a crochet hook, pull the tail through to the inside of the hat, and weave it through several stitches to secure it. Cut yarn leaving 1/2" showing inside.
