Begin Knitting Off. Use the loom tool, starting at peg #1, pick up the bottom loop, and pull it up and over the top loop and off the peg. Leaving the top loop on the peg. Continue around the loom until all of the pegs have only 1 loop on them. Push the remaining loops toward the bottom of the pegs to accommodate another round of loops.
