Loom Knitters Circle Magazine

Step by Step Instructions:

The Crochet Cast on is exactly like crocheting chains, except you place each chain on the empty peg. Prepare: Before you begin your cast on, form a slip knot with your working yarn. Place slip knot on your first peg (any peg can be your first peg). Take working yarn towards the inside of the loom.
Step 1: Insert crochet hook through the slip knot. Hook working yarn forming a chain.
Step 2: Place chain in next empty peg.
Step 3: Insert crochet hook through chain made in step above.
Step 4: Place chain next empty peg.
Step 5: Continue all around the knitting loom. Each peg will have 1 loop. Note the following: • Working yarn stays towards the inside of the knitting loom at all times. • Each peg has 1 loop on it. • To complete a circular, place the last chain formed on the first peg. The first peg will have 2 loops on it. • For a flat panel, place the chain on the hook on the last peg.
