Knitting with your loom


Knitting with this oversized loom is no different from knitting on a small loom, so many techniques can be learnt by watching youtube videos. 


Basic e-wrap knit
See Youtube tutorial by Isela Phelps for greater clarity. 
The e-wrap knit stitch produces stretchy stitches. 


Leave a tail of few inches, wrap yarn around nails as shown.
Do not wrap yarn too tightly.

Continue wrapping yarn around the nails. There are now two loops on each peg.

At the starting point, lift the bottom loop over the top loop and into the centre of the loom.
Do the same for every peg. 

Continue making loops and lifting loops until piece is of desired length.

I used the method shown in this youtube tutorial to bind off my work.
