Q&A for How to French Knit

It varies depending on your loom type, as there are several varieties. Some looms knit in a tube, while others create a double-knit fabric that appears flat but consists of two layers. When embarking on loom knitting, the first step is to identify the type of loom you use. Carefully review any accompanying manufacturer instructions for guidance. Similar to traditional knitting or crochet, it's essential to focus on enjoying the creative process rather than fixating solely on the result. In the context of the notes you provided, which pertain to a round loom for knitting tubes, it's crucial to adhere to the instructions tailored to that type of loom. Manufacturers may offer distinct recommendations and techniques for setup and initiation, even within the category of round looms. Once you grasp the instructions specific to your loom, embrace the enjoyment of the craft. 

It's pretty easy to spot a fallen loop, so you can just hook it back on.

You can just tie the ends together. The tied ends will go inside the knitted tube, so that you don't need to worry about hiding them like you would on a flat piece (ie: a scarf or sweater).

Make it in a circle by wrapping it around itself, using crochet thread, a yarn needle or matching yarn. Sew in the stitching of the cord; sometimes you need to sew in the same stitch as the circle gets bigger.

The circumference of your dolly has to be 3" to make a 1" diameter tube. The pegs should be 0.25 in diameter, so you would need 12 pegs of this size. If the pegs are narrower, you will need more pegs; find the width of the peg and see how many will cover an inch when held side by side.

Step 5 of Setting up the Knitting Dolly recommends starting with a slipknot on the first peg, followed by wrapping each peg to the right in a clockwise motion. Alternatively, crochet 8 ch then slip one strand of each chain onto each peg. Continue wrapping the yarn clockwise to start the next row.

Make a slip knot by first wrapping the thread twice around a finger. Take your trailing thread and push it under the first wrap and pull it through. For a visual tutorial go to the wikiHow on How to Make a Slip Knot .

Twisting of the emerging cord can occur if the tension in knitting is uneven when wrapping the thread around the pins. While some slight twisting can occur, it can be straightened. Simply pull the cord to stretch it as much as possible. If this does not work, you may need to add a core to stabilize the knitted cord especially if working with a thin thread.
