How to Eight Wrap the Knifty Knitter Long Looms

How to eight wrap a knifty knitter loom. The instructions for this basic "eight wrap" of a long loom are giving in the manufacturer instructions for "How to make a scarf on a long loom." The eight wrap is an excellent way to knit flat panels for scarves, blankets, etc, because it doesn't roll on the edges. The loom wrapping technique gets it's name from the figure eight motion that you make as you wrap the loom.

I watched one video that had the most helpful tip I ever heard. When going right, start at the right side of the peg, when going left, start at the left side of the peg.

Best tutorial of all the ones I've been checking out. Only thing is I wish it didn't cut off for the second level. Thanks for the video.

Why are all the loom tutorials incomplete

[@diamondlady8374]

I would like for the video to continue on, videos always stop after 2nd row, also I would like to see maybe a swatch of the figure 8 so I know what it should look like if possible

[@shmooperdoodle]

This is my issue, as well. My brain gets scrambled somewhere when it’s time to go back and after a row or two I am never sure if I’m supposed to go in front of or behind a peg before continuing on. It looks the same either way, and I can’t tell. So frustrating.

[@claymoviesemi719]

I need to know what I do next😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

[@marthaashton280]

Do I always skip a peg at the beginning and end of each row

You can do the figure eight on a round loom

[@heatherschulte]

You can cast of with the "crochet cast off" again following the path of the yarn back across the loom. You end at your working yarn, so begin at the opposite side.

Can you do it on a rectangle loom?

[@heatherschulte]

Perhaps you could post a photo to the facebook group, so we could see it. "The Knifty Knitter Group" with a lightbulb icon on FB.

[@heatherschulte]

I am really not sure, as it isn't supposed to be loose.

[@bethhayes8807]

[@influentialolive]

[@claymoviesemi719]

Why did it stop?😡

[@thekamranyounis]

I’m sad 😞

[@kathymurdocco3082]

You never finish what to do when you finish the second row and you are back to where you only went over the hook once,,,,,

[@thekamranyounis]

I was following you and then the video just ended 😾

You can do a eight wrap on a round loom it's call a figure 8 stitch

[@hsschulte2432]

Joanna this is the traditional "figure 8 stitch." The one created by a loomer for the round looms and named figure 8 stitch by her is not the same in look and appearance. It becomes very confusing when people reuse the names of traditional stitches to refer to something new.

[@heatherschulte]

Joanna, this is the traditional 8 wrap for the long looms. The stitch made up by the loom knitter and shared in group for the round looms is very different. It is not the same in look or appearance. When people reuse the traditional names of stitches for new stitches, it becomes very confusing.
