Fun Fur Skinny Scarf for the Knifty Knitter Flower Loom

Loom Knit Fun Fur ScarfKnifty Knitter Fun Fur Scarf

This is a fun fur scarf pattern that can be easily loomed by a beginner. It has detailed instructions for someone new to loom knitting. It is also a skinny scarf, so it knits up quickly.

Skill: Beginner

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1: The pegs on the Flower Loom have not been glued in. Remove every other peg from the loom. You will now have 6 pegs in the loom.


Step 2: Holding both the boucle yarn and fun fur yarn together as one, secure the yarn on the side of the loom on the anchor peg. 


Step 3: E wrap all 6 pegs.

Step 4: Wrap the pegs again and knit the bottom loops over the top loops and over the pegs, releasing the yarn to the inside of the loom. You have now completed one row of knitting.


Step 5: Continue wrapping and knitting over until your scarf reaches the desired length or until you have run out of yarn.


Step 6: End with about a 12” yarn tail. Thread this tail on a yarn needle and sew through each of the six loops. Pull up tight and tie off.


Step 7: Thread the starting yarn on the needle and sew up the beginning end. Tie and weave in the end.


Step 8: Beads can be sewn on the two ends for weight and decoration. (This yarn does not make good pom-poms or tassels. Decorations like beads or buttons work best.)

Note: For a furrier scarf, use 2 strands of fun fur yarn.

Provo Craft Supplies:
Other Supplies:
  • 1 Skein Baby Clouds Yarn by Red Heart Yarn (color of your choice)
  • 1 Skein Fun Fur by Lion Brand Yarn (color of your choice)
  • 18" of 1/4" or 1/2" satin ribbon your choice of color

Instructions:
Bunny Bag for the Blue Round Loom1. Purse Body: For this project, take the end of each of the two yarns and e wrap the blue round loom with them as if they were a single strand of yarn. Knit in a spiral until you have 8" of tube knitting on the loom. End with only one loop on each peg.
2.  Cut the yarn, leaving a 12 inch tail. Thread on a needle and pull through the loops on the pegs.
3.  Take the loops off the pegs. Pull the yarn tail tight. This will gather all the stitches to make the bottom of the bag. Do a couple of slip stitches in the bottom to tie off.
4. Ears: Wrap the yarn on 5 pegs and work back and forth, using these five pegs until you have knitted 7 inches.
5. Remove in the same method as the purse. Tie off. The top of the ears will be the tied-off end. -- Make 2 of these.
6. Handle: Use the same method, but only 3 pegs.
7. Work back and forth on these 3 pegs until you have 12 inches for short handle or 48 inches for long handle (remember that the handle may stretch, so you can make it a little shorter).
8. Sewing the parts together: Laying the purse flat, pin one side of the handle to the left inside top of the bag.
9. Pin the other side to the right inside top of bag.
10. Using only the Baby Cloud yarn, thread the needle and sew handle ends in place.
11. Place each ear next to the front of each handle; pin and sew in place.
12. Thread the ribbon on the needle and sew 1 inch from the top, starting in the center front and sewing completely around the bag.
13. This makes a draw-string effect to close the purse.
14. Pom-poms: Using the Knifty Knitter Pom-pom maker, you can choose the size you would like for the nose and the cheeks.
15. Glue the cheeks on using the glue gun and placing them close together. Glue the pink pom-pom in the middle of the cheek pom-poms.

Knifty Knitter Bunny Purse

Joan Toczek knitted this adorable bunny tote and photographed her beautiful granddaughter holding it. She embroidered the eyes and made the teeth of folded over ribbon. She used pom poms for the cheeks and nose. Joan says that in a larger size, these would make great bags to carry Easter eggs for an egg hunt.

Fuzzy Shrug

Knifty Knitter Shrug Pattern
Instructions
1. You will be using the yellow round loom and 2 yarns - 1 Fun Fur and 1 Sparkle. If you decide to make a different colored shrug, use a yarn that coordinates with the fun fur.
2. E wrap the full loom with the 2 yarns, turning on the last peg and coming back to the first peg. Continue wrapping and knitting until you have 6 inches of knitting.
3. Like doing the brim on the hats, reach inside the loom and put the stitches from the first row over the pegs to form the cuff. Knit off this row. You will also have to stitch the sides together to make the cuff.
4. Change to the coordinating yarn and cutting the fun fur off, continue knitting until you have the desired length. Measure across your shoulders and consider that you have 3'? cuffs on the ends.
5. When you have knitted the desired length, add your fun fur back and discontinue one of the coordinating threads. Using both of the yarns knit the cuff for this end of the shrug. (This will be the brim for the second sleeve). Take the knitting off of the loom using the crochet hook and using single crochet Take the end of your sleeve and fold it and stitch it closed with the yarn to match the first sleeve end.

  • hook
  • yarn needle

Other Supplies

  • 1 skein of Fun Fur by Lion Brand Yarn (color: Indigo)
  • 1 skein of Wool-Ease by Lion Brand Yarn (color: Blue Heather or Denim

Step 1:
This hat is knit according to the basic hat instructions, which are found in the packaging for the round looms. Begin by using one strand of Wool-Ease yarn and one strand of Fun Fur. Hold the two strands together and treat them like one strand. E wrap and knit 20 rows. Make the brim by pulling up the first row and putting it back on the loom. Knit off. (Detailed instructions and images for this step are included in the round loom packaging.)
Step 2: Replace the Fun Fur strand with another strand of Wool-Ease and knit 10 rows.
Step 3: Replace one of the Wool-Ease strands with the Fun Fur strand, and knit for another 10 rows.
Step 4: Replace the Fun Fur strand with the other strand of Wool-Ease, and knit for another 10 rows.
Step 5: Replace one of the Wool-Ease strands with the Fun Fur strand, and knit the last 10 rows. Sew the stitches off of the loom using the yarn needle and the Wool-Ease yarn (see round loom instructions for details). Pull up tight and tie the top (see round loom instructions for finishing a hat).
Step 6: The hat will flop over for a free and fun look. It will be about 14" long from the bottom of the brim to the top of the hat.

Magic Fun Fur Scarf

Knifty Knitter Magic Fun Fur Scarf
Photos of the Magic Scarf
Knifty Knitter Magic Fun Fur Scarf
Original Magic Scarf Pattern


This scarf was originally published in the Provo Craft instructional pamphlets with the Knifty Knitter green round loom. The pattern can also be made with the Boye or Darice brand orange round loom that is exactly the same size and has 36 pegs too. If you have the Readaeer round loom set, use the pink loom. 

If you want a larger scarf, try using the Boye or Darice purple round loom. This one is called the extra large round loom. You can also substitute the Readaeer green loom. 


The scarf is made with eyelash or fun fur yarn that gives it a fuzzy fun finish that any girl will love. I like to make them as Christmas gifts for the young ladies in my family.


What you will need:

Round Loom

3 skeins of Fun Fur
Crochet hook size K

Instructions:
1. Knit scarf using one strand of eyelash yarn (Fun Fur works great).
2. Knit around loom until scarf reaches desired length. (Make sure you leave about 7 yards on skein to finish scarf.)
3. Pull loop off the first peg onto a size K crochet hook. Chain two. Pull loop off 2nd peg. (You should now have two loops on your crochet hook.)
4. Keeping stitches VERY loose, single crochet (wrap yarn and pull through first loop, then wrap yarn and pull through both loops). Chain one.
5. Pull a loop off the next peg. Single crochet and chain one.
6. Continue around (single crochet, chain one) until all pegs are cleared.

7. Connect to the beginning of row with a secure knot. Cut end, leaving one inch.
This versatile scarf is easy to make on the Knifty Knitter and can be worn a variety of ways. Reach inside the scarf and it will stretch to several times its original size. Now it can be worn as a hood, cowl, or shawl.
