Step 1: Cast On - Wrap the pegs with yarn in the ewrap. To ewrap, tie a slip knot in the end of the working yarn. Secure the slip knot around the anchor peg (the one perpendicular to the other pegs on the side of the Knifty Knitter loom). Beginning with the peg directly above the anchor peg, wrap the yarn around it moving from the inside of the loom outward, around the peg and then back in to the center of the loom. If you look closely, you will see that this loop around the peg creates a cursive letter "e." The top of the "e" will be on the outside of the loom and the crisscross of the "e" will be on the inside of the loom. Continue to wrap each of the pegs working in a clockwise motion around the loom until all pegs have been wrapped twice.

Step 2: Knitting Off - When making most stitches, you push the loops to the bottom of the pegs before beginning. However, for the purl stitch it is most convenient to have the loops at the tops of each peg as you begin. Draw the working yarn under the loop that is on the peg. Working from the top, slide the Knifty Knitter hook under the loop. Use the hook to grab the working yarn and pull it back up through the loop. This step is shown in the photo on the right.

Step 3: Knitting Off (continued) -  Pinch the loop that is now on the Knifty Knitter hook with your fingers and remove the hook. Gently lift the loop that is on the peg upward and off using the yarn pinched between your fingers to move it. Replace the loop with the yarn you are grasping.

The photo on the left shows this step as the loop is being replaced on the peg with the working yarn.

Continue knit off around the loom working in a clockwise motion as you create purl stitches. When the knit reaches the desired length, continue to step 4.

Step 4: Bind Off - "Bind off" is a term used to describe removing the knit from the loom. It is most easily accomplished by cutting the working yarn several feet in length and feeding the end through a yarn needle. Sew up with the needle through each loop on the Knifty Knitter loom before removing the loop from the peg. Continue around the loom until all pegs are removed from the knitting loom.

Step 1: Cast on -

Tie a slip knot at the end of your working yarn. Secure it around the anchor peg of the Knifty Knitter loom.
Wrap each peg of the loom going in a clockwise direction with the Ewrap. (Note: There are other methods of "casting on" the first row, but this is simplest for beginners to follow.)

To wrap each peg in the Ewrap, simply make a loop around each peg in the shape of a cursive "e" as show in the photo. The top of the "e" will be on the outside of the loom, while the crisscross at the base of the cursive "e" will be on the inside of the knitting loom. In the photo there are two yarns wrapped on the loom as one yarn. This is a common loom knitting practice that results in heavier knit than wrapping one strand of yarn alone. It is helpful to push down the loop made around each peg in this step before continuing on to the next step.

Step 2: Knit Off -

Draw the yarn across the peg, just above the loop made when you cast on. Using your Knifty Knitter hook, pull up on the bottom loop from the peg. Lift it gently toward you and up and over the yarn that you have drawn across the peg. The loop will be released over the top of the peg and fall toward the inside of the knitting loom. Continue knitting off across the row.

Step 3: Continue Knitting Off -

Continue to draw the yarn across each peg and knit off by pulling the bottom loop over the working yarn and off the peg. You will do this continuously in a clockwise motion for tube knit and in a back and forth motion, reversing at the end of each row for panel knit.

Step 4: Binding Off - 

When the knit reaches the desired length, bind off. One of the simplest bind off methods is to cut the working yarn several feet long and thread it through a yarn needle. Use this to sew through each loop before removing it from the peg.

How to EWrap a Knifty Knitter Loom
This can be done with a round loom or a long loom. The sample photos show the loom wrapped using 2 yarns as if they are only one yarn. This results in a heavier finished knit.

Step 1: Wrapping the first row. Begin by tying a slip knot and securing it to the anchor peg. The anchor peg is that out of place peg on the side of your Knifty Knitter loom that is turned at a different angle than all the other pegs.

Step 2: Ewrap the loom by beginning with the peg closest to the anchor peg and wrapping the yarn around it to form a cursive letter "e." Start by pinching the yarn between your fingers and drawing it from the inside of the loom around the first peg toward the outside and then back toward the inside. The top of the cursive e should be toward the outside of the loom and the yarn should cross on the inside of the loom. The first time you do this it will take a little practice to get the feel for wrapping a loom, but once you have it down there is a rhythm to this step.

Step 3: Continue ewrapping all the pegs on the loom in a clockwise direction. You will know you are finished wrapping the first row when all the pegs have one loop on them.

Step 4: Push the first row of loops downward on the pegs. So that the first row of ewrapping is at the bottom of each peg.

Step 5: EWrap a second row following the same clockwise pattern used when you "cast on" your fir

st row. When finished each peg should have two loops of ewrapping.

Step 6: "Knit off" by using the Knifty Knitter hook to bring the bottom loop over the top loop from each peg. After gently pulling the bottom loop toward you, over the top loop, and off the peg, it is released toward the inside of the loom. Continue knitting off, making ewrap stitches around the loom, until all the pegs have only one loop left on them.

Step 7: Push the loops remaining on the pegs to the bottom. Ewrap another row. Knit off again pulling the bottom row over the top row with the Knifty Knitter hook. Continue this step, wrapping a new row and knitting off until your knit reaches the desired length.

The Finished Ewrap Knit
An important thing to know about any type of stockinette stitch is that the edges will roll if not stabilized with some other type of stitch along the edges. They roll toward the right side of the knit, not the wrong side, or the purl pattern side. Some patterns like stocking caps use the rolling edge to create a rolled hem. A garter stitch is a common stitch used to prevent rolling around the edge of the stockinette knit.
