I have a question about the "simple hat' pattern in Isela Phelps' loom knitting book. I am having trouble understanding how to decrease the crown. (I found that Beverly was confused too and Cyinda came back with great instructions.) The only question I still have is, moving every 3rd stitch to the right, I count the first 1, 2, 3 and move. Do I start counting to 3 again starting with peg #3 that has 2 stitches now? Or do I start counting on pegs 4, 5, 6 and moving #6 over? Thanks so much!
I to tried many ways and finally did it this way. I needed my loom empty! Move the loop on peg 1 to peg 2, the loop on peg 3 to peg 4, continue around the loom , moving loops on odd numbered pegs to the adjacent even number pegs. e-wrap all pegs, passing the yarn behind the empty pegs (on the inside of the loom). Knit off all pegs. Then I did the gathered method and weave in the ends. Came out great. I don't know if I want to try any more patterns in her book!

I have a question about Isela Phelps' "Loom Knitting Primer". I can't find a way to get the answer.
"Loom Knitter Primer" is a book written by Isela Phelps. The project I am working on is "Simple Hat", page 38. The instructions to shape the crown of the hat, do not make sense. If I have 36 pegs in the loom and move every third stitch over one space to the right I cannot possibly end up with 24 pegs with 2 loops and 12 empty pegs. What am I doing wrong?
