Loom Knit Herringbone Stitch Caston, stitch and Bindoff

I will demonstrate/ walk you through the herringbone stitch on a loom. Then we will talk about 2 castons you can use as well as a better bind off. If using it for a hat, you could still use a drawstring or gather bind off but this is for a flat panel.

Tips:
knit below is a uwrap stitch
tbl is through the back loop which is an ewrap stitch so k2tog t/l is an EW2tog if you need to think of it that way.
when knitting two together it will be easier to knit the first stitch, move it to the second and work the bottom loop over the top.

Here is the Herringbone Stitch pattern written out:
Row 1: k2tog, slip on the first stitch (move knit stitch back 1 peg, pick up previous stitch and place on empty peg*, repeat between *, until 1 remains, knit 1
Row 2: k2tog tbl, slip on the first stitch (as previous row)*, repeat between *, until 1 remains, knit 1
