> Flat Stitch (or true knit stitch)
>
> The flat stitch refers to how the yarn is placed on the loom to create the
> stitch. The yarn
> is laid flat across the front of the peg, above the existing loop. The
> existing loop is either
> from the cast on row, or the previous knit row.
>
> Unlike the e-wrap stitch, where you can wrap all the pegs on the loom then
> knit them all
> off, the flat stitch is wrapped and knit off one peg at a time.
>
> After you have knit off your cast on row (which can be e-wrapped), remove
> your working
> yarn from the anchor peg. Place the working yarn across the front of the
> first peg, above
> the existing loop.
>
> Insert the hook tool into the existing loop on the peg, and pull the loop 
> up
> and over the
> peg to the inside of the loom.

>
> U stitch
>
> Place the working yarn across the front of the first peg, above
> the existing loop. Bring the yarn between the peg and the peg next to it 
> to
> the inside of the loom.

> Insert the hook tool into the existing loop on the peg, and pull the loop

> peg to the inside of the loom.
> (this stitch is the same as the flat stitch but is less tight giving more
> play for the yarn and making it easier to get the yarn over the pegs.)

>
> Purl Stitch
>
> The purl stitch is the opposite of the flat stitch. It too is wrapped and
> knit off one peg at a
> time. How to make the purl stitch is the most difficult to describe in
> words, and feels
> very awkward when you are first learning it as it requires both hands.
>
> Place the working yarn across the front of the peg, below the existing 
> loop.
>
> With the hook tool, reach from the top of the peg through the existing 
> loop
> and in front of
> the working yarn.
> Catch the working yarn by twisting the hook tool toward the peg until the
> hook faces up.
>
> Bring the working yarn through the existing loop, creating a new loop.
>
> Remove the existing loop from the peg, and move it to the inside of the
> loom.
>
> Place the new loop onto the peg.
