How to Avoid Curling on a Knifty Knitter Loom
Knifty Knitting looms are available in circles, rectangles and organic shapes. These three shapes provide a crafter the option of making tubular or flat panels. Curling is a problem with each loom if not used correctly. The curled edge prevents an edge from flattening. Correct the curled edge problem by making the first two rows of stitching opposite of one another - knit the first row and purl the second.

Tie a slipknot approximately 2 inches from the end of the yarn. Place the slipknot over the first peg to the left of the tie-off peg.
