A knifty knitter loom can be used to create several types of knitting stitches. The knifty knitter loom is first wrapped, then the technique used to "knit off" the loom determines the type of stitch created.

2
Wrap the knifty knitter loom, using a basic e wrap. Beginning with the first peg, pull the yarn completely around the peg wrapping from the side furthest away toward the side closest. This will create a cursive letter "e." The "e" should cross on the inside of the loom and the top of the "e" should be on the outside of the loom.
Continue this pattern of e wrapping until all the desired pegs are wrapped. It is common for beginners to wrap the pegs too tightly. Wrapping too tightly makes it difficult to knit off when you begin to knit your project.

A one over one stitch can be created by e wrapping the knifty knitter loom two times. Each peg will be wrapped twice or have two loops. Knit off by taking the bottom loop over the top loop using the knifty knitter tool.
When you have finished knitting off the entire row, there will be one loop left on each peg of the knifty knitter loom. To proceed with the next row, wrap the loom again and knit off the next row using the one over one technique again.
