If you want to do a knitting project with ribbing, this stitch is for you. A sweater, a blanket, or a scarf are a few projects for which the ribbing works well. To do a ribbed stitch, you begin by wrapping the knifty knitter loom in an alternating back and forth pattern. Two pegs, then back to the other side of the loom for two more pegs, etc. Detailed photos, instructions for wrapping the knifty knitter, and knitting off the loom are at: How to Knit Ribbed Stitches on the Knifty Knitter Loom

Knifty Knitter 101

Knifty Knitter knitting looms are great for knitters that have trouble with traditional knitting needles. They are also great for kids that want to learn to knit. Every loom knitting project begins by Tying a Slip Knot. Next, you will wrap the loom. After wrapping the knifty knitter loom, you knit off. The knit is produced by knitting off the loom in a circular rotation, around and around the loom until the knit reaches the desired length.

Make a Scarf on the Knifty Knitter Loom

I made a scarf on the pink knifty knitter loom. The finished width is 5-6 inches. I tube knitted it meaning that it is essentially a tube rather than a flat piece of cloth. The extra thickness of having two sides makes it very warm.

I made this scarf using a knitting off technique that I created myself. I call it the no-wrap stitch. It is the easiest way to knit off a knifty knitter loom, because the stitch does not become tight around the loom as with some other stitches.
