Making the Stitches Tighter?

I am just learning how to knit hats with a loom but I find the gaps between each stitch...from peg to peg is quite large. How do you reduce the distance between the stitches? HELP?!

Hello there!

Once beginning looming, with an e-wrap stitch, you soon find that the gauge can be closed by using 2 strands of reg (#4) yarn, or a chunky/bulky (#5 or 6) yarn. BUT!

The knifty knitter looms (circular), and now the Boye looms, are a wider "gauge" (more space between pegs.) there are different gauge looms, But! there are also different and smaller stitches that will tighten up also -
