Knitting Loom Notebook

thumbnail of My Knitting Stash (click for large version)

Here's my notebook page for useful loom-knitting references. (At least my stash of references will now be somewhat organized, even if my yarns are not!)

I'll keep adding to this page as I come across helpful new tips and videos - please let me know if you have any that should be here and aren't. There are also some looming sites listed on my Links page that I like.

*Knitting boards are also known as long looms and double rakes.*

Chain bind off when you don't have your crochet hook:

  • Wrap the last row before the bind off row very loosely.
  • Move loop from peg 2 to peg 1 (the peg closest to your working yarn), knit bottom over top.
  • E-wrap and knit off loop left on peg 1.
  • Move new loop back to peg 2, which is now the new peg 1.
  • Repeat all the way until the last peg.
  • Wrap and knit off twice and pull the cut end of the yarn through the loop to secure.
