[Nfb-krafters-korner] Mock crochet stitch for looms

[Tanya Wheatley]

Okay, since the class tonight was open to all and I did not take notes for 
who all was there, I am sending the instructions for the stitch to the 
entire group. If anyone has any questions or needs any help, just give a 
shout.

Mock Crochet stitch

Cast on with preferred method the desired number of stitches.
For the skinny scarf, we used 8 stitches.

Row 1: U-wrap or flat knit each peg four times.

U-wrap stitch: Bring working yarn in front of peg and lay across toward top. 
Bring the working yarn between this peg and the next one and slightly behind 
first peg. Now take tool and knit lower loop up and over top loop and off 
peg. You have just made a U-wrap stitch.

Flat knit stitch: Lay working yarn across top of peg. Using tool, grab lower 
loop and bring it up over the top loop and off the peg. You have just made a 
flat knit stitch. Remember that the flat knit stitch makes a much tighter 
stitch than the U-wrap and can become so tight that it is hard to knit off.

When you have completed your first stitch on the peg, bring working yarn 
behind that same peg and back in front and repeat the U-wrap or flat knit 
stitch. Do this a total of four times for each peg.

Row 2: You have knit off all pegs. Now you will be going back in the 
opposite direction. Bring working yarn to front of last peg knit and do the 
preferred stitch. Bring the yarn back around behind the peg and back to the 
front and repeat the stitch for a total of four times. Now move on to the 
next peg.

You will repeat rows 1 and 2 for the desired length.

When you have completed the project and are ready to bind off, knit a row 
with whichever stitch you prefer and then do the bind off you like best.

Notice the zig-zag effect of the stitch on the side edges of your work!
