Recently a few people asked me how to loom knit the K2tog YO. I'll have to come back and add a video when I can but for now here are written instructions HOW TO:
Ok lets visualize this. If I am working a flat panel lets call my 1st peg, that has a Slip Stitch, our official Peg 1. The next peg (Peg 2) the pattern calls to k2tog. Take the loop off of Peg 3 and place on peg 2. Now Knit that stitch with both loops at the same time. Do NOT simply Knit Off by lifting bottom over top!! I mean lay your working yarn on top and create a knit stitch.
You can do the classic knit stitch or the U knit (just a loose version of the flat) to have the same stitch look. Peg 3 will be empty so you will e-wrap it around once, with your working yarn, which makes the YO or Yarn Over.
Now continue down the row starting with peg 4 with the next stitch.
I hope that helps a bit. Happy Looming!!

Thank you! Your explanation is the best I've read!
ReplyDeleteThank you, so glad it helped! Happy Looming!-Kristen
ReplyDeleteI need a video.
ReplyDeleteCan you explain k3tog? Am I using peg 3 and 4 on peg 2?
ReplyDeleteYour instructions were very helpful. However, I do have a question: On the next round after the k2tog and yo, do you knit the yo e-wrap just as you would a knitted stitch?
ReplyDeleteYes :-) I'm sorry so long for a reply...oops!
