Knit Through the Back Loop

Also Known As

• E-wrap stitch
• Figure Eight wrap stitch
• Twisted Knit stitch

The knit tbl stitch is a common stitch used in stitch patterns on the knitting board. You wrap each peg on the board by wrapping the working yarn around each peg above the current wrap. This type of wrapping method is referred to as "figure eight" on this site because the yarn looks like a figure eight between the pegs. Typically, you will use this wrapping method throughout the entire stitch pattern, just as you would the diagonal. The box e-wrapping method is a modified version of the figure eight which will also produce a knit tbl stitch.
