One way would be to draw the indentations in each of your loft sketches.

p.s. Draw one indentation in each sketch and use a circular pattern to create the others.

Hi,

You need to add the circles to both loft sketches (top and bottom).

This can be done without any Loft features.

Two simple Revolve editing and some pattern and filleting.

For the OP's desired knob example?

You could just draw it once. Extrude it with a taper angle. But only if you like saving time and effort.

There are many ways to do this.  I simply showed how the OP could modify his current file to get the desired shape.
