It might be helpful for you to mark your loom with masking tape or a permanent marker pegs 1 through 16 to help you keep count of your stitches.
Cast on an even amount of stitches, such as 16 (use 40 for shawl). To cast on, make a slip knot about 8 inches into the yarn and place it on peg 1. Double wrap peg 2 and knit the bottom loop over the top loop, and tighten. Continue for your desired amount of pegs. Remember to cast on an even amount of stitches.
Row 1 – knit all 16 pegs
Row 2 – PURL - purl the stitch on peg 1.
Purl the stitch on peg 2 but put the loop on peg 1 and gently pull the loop snug. You now have 2 loops on peg1 and nothing on peg2.
Lay the yarn in front of peg 2 as if to yarn over and then purl the stitch on peg 3 as normal. Purl the stitch on peg 4 but put the loop on peg 3 and gently pull snug. Lay the yarn in front of peg 4 and repeat across the remaining stitches.
You now have 15 pegs with yarn on them. All the odd pegs have 2 loops and all the even pegs have yarn laying in front of them.
Peg 16 is empty but we well fix that in row 3.
Row 3 – KNIT - Wrap the yarn twice around peg 16, or your last peg and knit off the bottom loop over the top loop so that you have 16 pegs with yarn on them.
Knit stitch 15 but put the loop on peg 16.
Lay the yarn in front of peg 15 and knit peg 14 and repeat across the remaining stitches.Wrap the yarn twice around peg 1, or your last peg and knit off the bottom loop over the top loop so that you have 16 pegs with yarn on them.
All the even pegs will have 2 loops and all the odd pegs will have yarn lying in front of them.
Repeat rows 2 and 3 for approximately 200 rows or 2 skeins or 6 feet in length.
Last row - Knit all 16 pegs
Bind off - You can use your favorite bind off method, or you can use this bind off which doesn’t require a crochet hook. Starting on the end of the loom that has the working yarn, wrap the yarn loosely in front of the first peg and knit off, then place this loop on the second peg. Keep the yarn loose. Wrap the yarn around the second peg and knit off the two bottom loops over the top and place this loop on the third peg. Continue to the last peg after you knit the two loops over the top loop cut the yarn leaving an 8 inch tail and then wrap the yarn in front of the last peg and using the hook pull the yarn through the loop. Take the loop off the peg and tighten.
Use yarn needle to hide the tails into work.
