There are many different bind-offs you can choose from. The purl will form a vertical line on the front of your fabric and will sit higher than the knit stitch creating little ridges.īinding off is the process you use to close up your knitting to take it off the loom. You repeat this knit and purl pattern for the edges or your whole project. For the garter stitch you knit one row across, then purl the next row. There are many options on this but the most common is the garter stitch.
To make a fabric that won't curl on the edges you will need to make some sort of knit and purl combination to keep the fabric flat. At first you will notice the yarn piling up a bit, but if you tug down a little in back it will come loose easily unless you've snagged a pin. Here is a closeup video of how the pin system works and how the fabric flows down the back of the loom.

The video shows a great explanation of how to do this. If you are seaming a future project you will need to knit every stitch. When you turn you can slip the first stitch or knit the first stitch. Remember do not wrap the outside pin, stop at a peg - see picture and video below.
Just practice knitting back and forth for a while to get used to the "in front of the peg, behind the pin" motion. This stitch is smaller than an e-wrap but a little larger than a traditional knit stitch (reverse purl). The u-wrap stitch will give you a nice V shaped stitch (e-wrap gives you a y-stitch). The most typical stitch you will use is a u-wrap knit stitch. For other options on cast on's visit the learn tab. The U-stitch cannot be used as a cast on because it is open and will unravel. This will give you a nice clean cast on edge and is a typical cast on you can use for most projects. I recommend starting with a double e-wrap cast on, also called a non-loopy cast on. When you are ready to add end pairs take a look at this video for setup. This document will help you with setup on the 1 peg slider - Slider Setup. Once you see how the yarn works on the loom it will make more sense on the corners.

You don't need to add washers or ends on your loom before giving it a try! So feel free to just grab some yarn and follow along below. Longer looms - 60 or 77 SG, 40 or 53 Reg, and our larger 40 and 60 peg Modular Looms all have a pin (or multiple pins) on the side of the pin board board - this is to hang washers on - see video below. We include up to 7 washers per location on the bolts. If you have a Small Gauge Loom, Regular Gauge Loom, or Modular Loom you have the option of adding washers. Your loom comes boxed ready to knit on with 0 washers between the peg and pin boards.
Looking for Weaving information? Take a look at our videos here. It explains whey having a gauge adjustable loom is an amazing tool to have! - Let's Talk About Gauge. I highly recommend you start with this document before knitting on your loom. One of the most important things you need to learn in knitting is "what is gauge and what does it mean". If you would like more in-depth instructions or additional instruction please visit our Learn tab for Videos and FAQ's. If you are a new Kiss loomer or first time loom knitter we wanted to give you a page with some very basic beginner information.
