Many stitches to choose from......
ds double stitch fs flat stitch pcs popcorn stitch ss single stitch hs half stitch rs rolling stitch ps purl stitch gs garter stitch
ds double stitch
Basic one over two rows stitch Wrap three rows around pegs. Lift row one over two other rows. Tighter stitch compared to single stitch
fs flat stitch
A tighter stitch Wrap one row around pegs Next rows, the yarn is on the outside of the pegs
pcs popcorn stitch
A more texture stitch *do single stitch for four rows. On fourth row, bring up every other stitch over peg. then knit off. Repeat from *
Knit five rows single stitch. bring up stitch (from inside part of your work) every other peg, four rows down. Count down four rows from inside of your project from the inside, bring that stitch on your knitting tool and bring it on the peg. So now you have two loops on every other peg. Knit these so now you only have one loop on each peg. This does not count as a row. Continue and repeat the process. I use five rows because it is easier counting. Hope this helps.
ss single stitch
two row stitch Wrap two rows around pegs. Lift row one over row two. Looser stitch
Half Stitch
Wrap on four rows around loom. Lift two rows over two rows. A thicker stitch than the double stitch.
rs: rolling stitch
I was starting a scarf on a smaller round loom. And I started out knitting five rows flat stitch. It makes a nice mock rolling cuff/brim. It automatically rolls up. Just knit five rows flat stitch then switch to single or double stitch
Flat Purl stitch
Using the flat stitch method. Normally, when you flat stitch, you lay the yarn down above the stitch of the previous row, and pull the previous stitch over the yarn.
To purl, you lay the yarn UNDER the stitch of the previous row, insert your tool from the top of the previous stitch downwards, catch the yarn with the tool and draw it up through the stitch - keep the yarn loop you just pulled up on the tool and carefully pull the stitch of the previous row off the peg - then put the loop you just made on the peg.
You have now just made a purl stitch because you pulled the yarn under the previous stitch, instead of pulling the previous stitch over the yarn.
To make the garter stitch , I alternated one row of regular flat stitch with one row of the purled flat stitch for 20 rows. This works just the opposite of two needle knitting - if you alternated rows of knit and purl, you would end up with the stocking net stitch - so keep this in mind when converting knitting patterns to the round knitting looms.

Gathering Removal Method
If you want to remove your hat with the gathering method. Cut a long end from your skein of yarn. Thread your yarn end on a yarn needle, then start with the next peg, slide your needle down the peg, lift off the loops and put them on your yarn end. Go completely around until all your loops are now on your yarn end. Pull tight, and knot. Then What I do is pull your yarn end to the inside, and stitch up any hole you might have from the inside.
