LESSON 6

Increasing, Decreasing, and Openwork on the Loom

In this lesson, you will learn how to increase and decrease your stitches on the round loom. This is the basis for all shaping, lace, and other openwork in knitting. You will also learn how to do the double crochet bind-off.

Increasing

Increasing (or adding stitches) allows the loom knitter to make a panel wider. It is commonly used to shape items that fan out, such as triangle scarves, sleeves, and stuffed animals.

MAKE 1 (M1)

This type of increase is done within the row, so as to maintain a nice, neat edge.

1. Move the last stitch worked in your row to the next empty peg.

2. Reach below to the ladder stitch beneath the empty peg; lift this stitch and twist it.

3. Place the newly formed stitch onto the empty peg.

4. Work the next row as instructed in the pattern.
