The casting off technique for the flat looms has to be carefully considered. This is binding off with no stretch. While this technique is handy, it can ruin your project if the project has some stretch to it. In the scarf example here, a stretchy bind off would have been better. We have a tutorial…
The Loom Knit Zig Zag Duplicate Stitch is very similar to the loom knit zig-zag stitch but it’s called duplicate for a reason. When wrapping back in the opposite direction, you are going to follow the exact same path. In regular zig-zag stitching, the opposite direction, the wrapping is leaning in the opposite direction. Think…

The Loom Knit Double Stockinette Stitch requires you to wrap the loom twice to double up the thickness. Getting started requires you to secure the cast-on process.

Binding off in loom knitting is a way to keep the project open at the top. Shown here in the round loom. The biggest tip is to watch the tension of the yarn, you want to be relaxed in this process and you can bind off and make it so it has no give and…
