Stockinette stitch done using 3 different knit methods: true knit, u-wrap, and flat stitch.

Please see my note below the pattern to understand why the e-wrap does not produce the knit stitch – it works just fine as a pattern modification, but makes a different stitch called the twisted knit stitch.

Loom Knitting Pattern:

This pattern works for both flat panels and round circular tubes

Knit methods: true knit, u-wrap, or flat stitch

• Cast on desired number of pegs
• Row 1: knit every peg using chosen method
• Repeat Row 1 until desired length reached
• Bind off

Please note: The e-wrap does NOT make the knit stitch, it produces a different stitch called the twisted knit stitch!

While there is nothing wrong with using the e-wrap to replace knit stitches in your work with twisted knit stitches, your end result will look different than an actual knit stitch – it will produce a twisted stockinette stitch pattern instead.

Due to ease-of-use, many loom knitters prefer using the twisted knit stitch / e-wrap as their default knit stitch. This is fine to do, but the problem is they often write patterns calling this stitch a “knit stitch” when it’s actually a different stitch. Please check your patterns carefully and look for the twist in the finished product image to determine whether they intend to mean “twisted knit”/”e-wrap” when they call for “knit” stitches.

True knit, u-wrap, and flat stitch all produce the actual “knit” stitch – they just use different methods that often produce different tensions. This is much like people who needle knit continental style vs english style – they use two different ways to produce the same stitch, but one knitter might prefer one or the other due to comfort, convenience, or more consistent tension.

Because these methods produce the same knitting stitch, you can not tell who used continental needle knitting, english needle knitting, portuguese needle knitting, true knit loom knitting, u-wrap loom knitting, or flat stitch loom knitting — because the end product is always the same stitch. Not true with the e-wrap/twisted knit, because it produces a new stitch that looks different than the actual knit stitch.

A pair of kitten (fingerless) mittens for my RedditGifts Colors 2016 match! They indicated their favorite color was yellow and that they were eyeballing some cat ears on etsy, so I decided to make them a set of yellow tabby fingerless gloves.

I googled a chart for a pawprint that would fit on half of the pegs of my 36-peg 3/8” fine gauge CinDWood glove loom that I just received this week.

About midway through the pawprint pattern, I stopped working in the round and started working a flat panel to create a thumb hole. Because I was working fingers-down on the project, I was able to insert my hand into the project to test and see if the thumb hole was large enough before I closed the project back up and worked in the round again.

The cuff is 10 rows of k1p1 rib using true knits, and the body is 5 rows of yellow in u-wrap followed by 5 rows of white in u-wrap.

My first double knit loom item – a camo blanket on the 1/2” gauge CinDWood 60” Universal S-Loom.

I did try to make it at first with a single strand of worsted weight, but it had absolutely no structure and was quite holey, so I frogged it and started over with two strands of worsted weight yarn held together as one.

I wanted to make a hat with some color to practice loom knitted color changes. I asked my husband what he wanted, and he chose the camo colors and wanted a fold-over brim. I used all 64 pegs on the 1/2” Universal Hat & Scarf Loom to make this hat.

I did a k2 p2 rib brim before starting on my camo stitch pattern. All of my knit stitches used the u-wrap stitch, and the stitch pattern included slip stitches.
