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

[Blindhands at aol.com]

Thank you so very much  for the class tonight Tonya.  Now I found  this a 
bit interesting and it still blows my mind about this looming  thing.  Now we 
can do a stitch on this loom that looks like  crocheting.  You have taught 
a variety of classes like converting a knitted  pattern to a loom pattern, 
socks on a loom with turned heels different knit  stitches done on a loom.  I 
do nneed to say I sometime wonder why you want  these things to look like 
you used a crochet hook or knitting needles.  Why  don't you just use the 
hook or needles!
 
Tonya when are you going to teach us a class on the loom that the project  
comes out looking like we hand quilted a quilt!  I want to take that  class.

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!
