How To Loom Knit the Twisted Knit Stitch
Hello Looming friends!
I've uploaded my first tutorial. The video will be included below or you can catch it and new videos by subscribing to my YouTube channel. Just click subscribe and check the box to email you. You'll be emailed when I upload videos.
This first video is my first attempt and I'm working out the kinks. Thank you for your graciousness as I may fumble...don't we all? :-)
WHAT YOU'LL SEE:
Quick Introduction to different Loom Types (showing some I have in the background)
Using Long green loom (rectangle)
Making a home made Styler (for quick setup of yarns on pegs)
We'll Cast On using two strands. (Note for beginners-This is how you put the yarn on at first to get started)
Cast On Method - Twisted Knit Stitch
Main Stitch Method/Pattern - Twisted Knit Stitch
WHAT YARN IS USED:
2 strands of #3 or 4 yarn in two different colors.
(Just a standard crafting acrylic yarn. You can use wool, cotton or acrylic. This is just what I used.)
DIFFICULTY LEVEL:
Beginner - This video I go a bit slow. if you are new to loom knitting this is a great video for you.
IDEAS FOR THIS STITCH:
This stitch is great for scarves, lovey, blankets, placemats, pot holders (in cotton!) and a number of other projects you can build from panels.

New Twist in Loom Knitting
Loom Knitting is so nice because it is easy to learn and great for people of almost all ages. There are no needles required. Just a loom, a small special knitting tool and yarn are all you need to get started.
There are many stitches that imitate traditional knitting with needles. Don't get me wrong though, loom knitting or knitting on a "rake" has been around for hundreds of years. It is faster than traditional knitting and its extra wonderful for those who have carpel tunnel or other hindering issue with holding long knitting needles for period at a time.
One stitch that is very pretty is a rib stitch. A single or even double rib is often imitated on the loom and there are many tutorials on YouTube on how to make those. Tonight I wanted to film a tutorial on each of them and decided to be adventurous and attempt to design a triple rib stitch. It turned out nicely and I wanted to just show a quick overview of what the three rib type stitches look like side by side.
I hope this helpful. Thanks for dropping by!
Loom Knitting: Stitches side by side, Rib & Twisted. Twisted knit stitch, single rib, double rib and triple rib stitch shown side by side to see the difference in over all look. Ever see a triple on a loom?! It is so gorgeous! Tutorials to follow at future date.
