  1. Wrap the working yarn 4 times around the loom and cut.

  2. Unwrap the yarn and thread it through a tapestry needle.

  3. Working on the side of the loom where the working yarn is, call the peg closest to the working yarn 1, the next peg 2 and so on.
  4. Thread the yarn up the wrap on peg 2.

  5. Thread the yarn down the wrap on peg 1.

  6. Repeat steps 3 & 4 for the remainder of the pegs. Add 1 to the peg number of each step as you go to know which wrap to thread up and which to thread down. Keep the yarn tight as you sew.
    So the next would be up the wrap on peg 3 and down the wrap on peg 2 and then up the wrap on peg 4 and down the wrap on peg 3, etc.
  7. The last will be up through the last peg. Repeat the up and down sequence with the second-to-last and the last pegs.

  8. Take all of the wraps off of the loom.

  9. Weave the end into the inside of the piece.
