How to Purl on a Loom

     Just like with regular knitting, purling on a loom is the exact opposite of knitting.

     To begin purling, hold your yarn beneath the stitch you wish to purl.


     Insert your hook through the top of the stitch and over the yarn.


     Pull the yarn through your stitch and pull the stitch off of the peg.



     Place your newly formed purl stitch onto the peg.


     Note: You can make patterns on your garment by using both the knit and purl stitch!

How to Knit on a Loom

     Knitting on a loom is incredibly easy! 

     First, you will need a loom and a hook (that usually comes with it).


To Cast On 
     Place a slip knot around the first peg on your loom. This is the first cast-on stitch.


     Move your yarn to the back of the second peg and in between the second and third pegs.


     Move your yarn around the front of the second peg to the back of the third peg.



     Repeat this across the round until you get to the slip knot.


How to Knit
     Place the yarn in front of the first peg and over your stitch.


     Insert your hook into the bottom of the stitch and over the yarn.



     Pull the yarn through the stitch.


     Pull your old stitch off of the peg and place your new stitch onto it.



     Your work should look like stockinette stitch.
