Video
- Make a slip not and place it on your
crochet hook.
You will be working around the knitting board starting on the upper rake on the left at peg 2 and moving to the right and then down to the lower rake from the right to the left and ending back up on peg 2.
- Place the crochet hook on the inside of the
loom behind peg 2 and bring the working yarn to
the front of the peg. Grab the working yarn
with your crochet hook and crochet a single
stitch so that it wraps peg 2.
- Repeat step 2 All around the knitting
board.
- When you get to peg 1, take the wrap that
is on the crochet hook and place it on the peg.
From the front of the loom, you will see one wrap on each peg. On the back, you will see two except for the first and last pegs.
- Wrap the loom for the stitch pattern you'd like to use and knit off.
