How to Bind Off a Loom With a Crochet Stitch

Round, oblong and rectangular knitting looms offer a crafter the opportunity to make items without knitting needles. The top edge of the knitting loom items are removed from the knitting loom with a binding off stitch. A crochet hook works very well for the process. A single crochet stitch is used to bind the last row of the item. A size 0 (zero) or 2.25 mm crochet hook works well to complete this process. Construct an item on the loom prior to beginning this process.

Things You'll Need

• Knitting loom with completed item attached
• Size 0 (zero) or 2.25 mm crochet hook
• Scissors

Instructions

1. Place the knitting loom with the completed item on a flat work surface so that the horizontal tie off peg is pointing toward you.

2. E-wrap the peg with the last stitch. The E-wrap stitch is completed by wrapping the yarn from the back of the peg, around the front, to the back and pulling the end of the yarn toward the next peg.

3. Pull the bottom loop over the top loop.

4. Move the completed loop to the next peg on the left.

5. Pull the bottom loop over the top loop. Repeat Step 4 and 5 until one peg remains with a loop.

6. Cut the yarn approximately three inches from the last stitch. Pull the end of the yarn through the loop. Pull the end of the yarn tight to form a knot.
