Knifty Knitter Rectangle Loom Scarf

SCARF INSTRUCTIONS  Note: This is the basic "eight wrap" scarf for the rectangle loom. These instructions have been available in the product packaging for the rectangle loom.

It is usually best to knit with two strands of knitting worsted yarn held together (treating them like one strand) or to use one strand of bulky yarn.
Step 1: Wrap the end of the yarn around the peg on the end of the loom to hold the yarn in place.
Step 2: Using the illustration as a guide, start with the yarn between pegs 1 and 3, and wrap the yarn around peg 1. Bring yarn between pegs 2 and 4 and wrap around peg 2. Then pull the yarn between pegs 3 and 5, and wrap around peg 3. Continue in this figure-8 method until you have wrapped the yarn around enough pegs to match the desired width of your project.
Step 3: When you get to the last even-numbered peg you want to use, wrap it and then pull the yarn straight across the loom to the corresponding odd-numbered peg, as shown.
Step 4a: Wrap the odd-numbered peg (now there will be two loops on it). Wrap the even-numbered peg that is diagonal to the peg you just wrapped, instead of wrapping the even-numbered peg across from the peg you just wrapped (a).
Step 4b: Continue wrapping back toward peg 1 in the figure-8 pattern, following the lines of the previous row. After you have wrapped peg 1, pull the yarn straight across between peg 2 and peg 4 (b).
Step 5: Holding the yarn in place with your finger, use the enclosed hook to lift the bottom yarn loop on peg 1 over the top loop and off the peg. Continue with the hook to lift the bottom row of yarn loops over the top row and off of each peg, as shown.
Step 6: Wrap peg 2, then peg 3, then peg 4, and so on, wrapping the pegs in the same figure-8 pattern. When you reach the last even-numbered peg, wrap it, then pull the yarn straight across to the corresponding odd-numbered peg (Step 3). Hold the yarn in place with your finger while you lift the bottom loop over the top loop and off of the last even-numbered peg. Then pull all the other bottom loops over the top loops and off the pegs. Repeat Steps 4-6 until your project has reached the desired length. After finishing several rows, you can remove the original end of yarn from the outside peg and let it hang. (Note: The knitting will be very loose. You will need to knit several rows before your project is visible.)
Step 7: When your project has reached the desired length, and only one row of loops remains on the pegs, you are ready to remove the yarn from the loom. Cut the end of your wrapping yarn (leaving a few inches). Using a crochet hook, size G or H, start at the end opposite the yarn tail, and lift the loop off the odd-numbered peg with the crochet hook. Go straight across the loom to the even-numbered peg and lift that loop off with the hook. Now you have two loops on your crochet hook. Pull the second loop through the first.
Step 8: Then, using the hook, go under the loop and pull the wrapping yarn up through.

Here are photos of some eight wrap scarfs that I've done. They are done with only one yarn.

Fun Fur Skinny Scarf for the Knifty Knitter Flower Loom

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 Tools Knifty Knitter Flower Loom hook yarn needle Other Supplies Lion Brand Yarn Bouclé - color of choice Fun Fur yarn

Scarf with Pom Poms for the Knifty Knitter Rectangle Loom

Skill level: Beginner

Provo Craft Tools Knifty Knitter Purple Rectangle Loom hook yarn needle Pom Pom Maker Other Supplies crochet hook 2 skeins (A) Red Heart Light and Lofty Pheasant 1 skein (B) Lion Brand Chunky USA Yukon Gold 1 skein (C) Lion Brand Chunky USA Desert Sand NOTE: The sample measures 64" x 8", not including the pom-poms.
Step 1: Using the main color of yarn, wrap 24 of the pegs on the purple loom. Wrap in the figure 8 pattern for the first row. Continue wrapping in the fashion stitch, or just go back and forth around the pegs.
Step 2: Knit 9 rows and then change the yarn to the B color. Knit 3 rows. When attaching the new color of yarn, tie the two colors together in a square knot, leaving tails of about 4".
Step 3: Change the yarn to the C color and knit 3 rows.
Step 4: Change back to the B color yarn and knit 3 rows.
Step 5: Change back to the A color of yarn and knit the middle of the scarf (114 rows, or the length that you would like).
Step 6: Reverse the pattern from the beginning end with the B and C colors. Finish with the A color yarn.
Step 7: Finish by adding 3 ½" wide pom-poms, and single crochet yarn string to attach the pom-poms to the ends of the scarf. The video below shows the fashion stitch being done. The loom here used is the blue long loom, not the rectangle loom, however the stitch is done in the same manner as the pattern above.

The video below shows how to make pom poms using the Knifty Knitter pom pom maker. If you do not have one, you can still use this method of wrapping on a round loom to get the same outcome.

Simple Single Panel Scarf for Beginners

Provo Craft Tools

• Knifty Knitter Round Loom (blue)
  
• yarn needle
• hook

Other Supplies

• 1 skein green 4-ply knitting worsted yarn
• 1 skein variegated green 4-ply or knitting worsted yarn
• crochet hook size G or H

 

Note: This is a very good project for a beginner to learn the basics of loom knitting. It is also a very good project for understanding how a flat panel can be knitted on a round loom. Flat panels do have a tendency to roll at the edges, and as you can see in the photo, both sides of the scarf are not the same.

Skill level: Beginner

Step 1: Using 2 strands of green yarn, wrap all the way around the loom to peg 24

Step 2:Using peg 24 as the turning peg, wrap back to the first peg, wrapping the opposite way. Knit the first row over the second row. (There will only be one wrap around peg 24 until you wrap back on the third row.)

Step 3: Turn and wrap again. Continue knitting and wrapping for 19 rows.

Step 4: Change one of the green yarns to the variegated yarn and knit seven rows.

Step 5: Change back to the green and knit seven rows.

Step 6: Change to variegated and knit approximately 47" to the other end of the scarf. Repeat the pattern going backwards to make the ends look alike.

Step 7: To remove from the loom, you may want to use a crochet hook. Lift the first loop from the peg and then life the second loop from the peg. Loosely crochet through these two loops and then take off the third loop and crochet through the two loops on the needle. Continue taking all of the loops from the loom and pull the yarn through the last loop. Pull tight and cut the yarn, leaving 4" or 5" to weave into the scarf.

Step 8: Cut 7" pieces of yarn to make fringe.

Braided Scarf for the Knifty Knitter Spool Loom

Barbie loomed this version of the braided scarf pattern in blue and white hues. What a fun scarf. 

Provo Craft Tools

• Knifty Knitter Spool Loom
• Knifty Knitter Pom-Pom and Tassel Maker
• loom hook
• yarn needle

This pattern was originally designed by Alicia Underwood and published on the Provo Craft website. 

Other Supplies

• 3 or 4 different skeins of yarn (your choice of color/style; use the Fun Fur, the regular knitting worsted yarn, or any other yarn)

Skill level: Beginner

Note: This is an easy project, and although it takes some time to make the tubes, it's worth it. To make the project go a little quicker, try using only 3 tubes instead of 5 for a scarf that isn't as bulky around the neck.

Step 1: Using the Spool Loom (the end with 5 pegs) and one strand of yarn, knit 5 tubes, each between 50" and 56" long. It is best if they are each different lengths.

Step 2: Hook the 5 tubes together as shown in the diagram (SEE DIAGRAM) and then braid them together. Then sew the tubes together using the yarn needle to ensure that they won't come undone.

Step 3: Using the Knifty Knitter Pom-Pom and Tassel Maker, put pom-poms on both ends of each tube. (The Fun Fur tube in this picture doesn't have pom-poms because Fun Fur doesn't make good pom-poms.) Original design by Alicia Underwood.

Knifty Knitter Pink Long Loom
Bulky Yarn
Hook
Yarn Needle

1. With Color A, e wrap all the odd number pegs, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, etc.
2. With Color B, e wrap all the even number pegs, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, etc.
3. Continuing in the same direction as the first wrap, e wrap each peg again with the same color.
4. Knit, by bringing the bottom loop up over the top loop on each peg.
5. The scarf is knitted by continuing around the pink long loom in a continuous spiral. Repeat steps 3 and 4 with the pegs always being wrapped in the same color as the previous row. Knit until the scarf reaches the desired length. As a rule of thumb, the scarf should be about as long as the person wearing it is tall.
6. Use a crochet cast off.

Hourglass Scarf for the Knifty Knitter Blue Round Loom

Skill level: Intermediate

This scarf is wide on the ends and narrow in the middle of the neck — like an hourglass shape—so that it fits the neck better.

Step 1: Using one strand of each of the yarns, e wrap all the pegs on the loom.

Step 2: Turn around on peg 24 and knit back. Knit back and forth for 8". This makes a flat panel piece, instead of a circular piece like a hat.

Step 3: Decrease one loop on the beginning of the next 2 rows, as follows: put the loop from the first peg on the hook and then put the loop from the second peg on the hook. Pull the second loop through the first loop and place the loop on the second peg. Now you will be knitting on 22 pegs instead of 24. Knit on these 22 pegs for 4".

Step 4: Decrease 1 loop on the beginning of the next 2 rows. Knit 4" on these 20 pegs.

Step 5: Continue this method, decreasing and knitting for 4", until you are only knitting on 12 pegs. Knit for 12". (This will be the more narrow neck section.)

Step 6: Increase, or add, one stitch on each end of the next 2 rows and knit 4". (To increase, simply wrap an extra peg on each end.) Increasing stitches creates the wider part of the scarf.

Step 7: Repeat this (increasing and wrapping 4") until you are knitting on all the pegs.

Step 8: Knit until you are 8" from the last increase.

Step 9: Use a crochet hook to remove the loops from the loom. Take the first loop from the loom and chain through. Take the next loop off and chain through both of the loops. Continue until all loops are taken from the loom. Do the crochet stitches very loosely. Pull the end of the yarn through the last loop and pull tight. (You may want to crochet a chain stitch at the beginning of the scarf to make the ends the same width.)

This yarn covers up the stitches. To be able to see the adding of stitches, use knitting markers or safety pins to show increases and decreases.

Eight Wrap Scarf

Instructions:

1. Start wrapping the yarn around loom pegs in a figure-eight pattern as shown in the instructions that come with the loom. Be sure to leave a long piece of extra yarn at the start of the wrapping, to be used later in step #4.

2. Wrap the loom just half way up the loom, then turn around and go back. You will use just 18 of the pegs.

3. Continue the knitting process as shown in the loom instructions until scarf is desired length or until the skein of yarn is finished. Be sure to leave another long piece of yarn at the end to use in step #4. Finish the edge of the scarf as shown in instructions.

4. Using a needle, thread the ends of the long pieces of yarn back up the sides of the scarf about 4", then wrap the remaining yarn several times around the scarf to pull it together. (See photo.) Tie off yarn and the scarf is finished.

Loopy Boa

Instructions

1. Using 2 strands of yarn, wrap first 3 pegs. Wrap the 3 pegs again and knit off (lift bottom 2 loops over top 2 loops and off peg).

2. Make fringe loop on left side of loop by bringing yarn to inside of loom, skip 9 pegs and wrap around 10th peg. Wrap around outside of loom, around all 10 pegs then bring yarn to inside of loom behind 3 pegs with stitches (see picture to right).

3. Wrap the 3 pegs and knit off.

4. Using tool, lift off fringe loops that are around the 10 pegs. Let loops drop to inside of the loom.

5. Make fringe loop on right side by bringing yarn to inside of loom, skip 9 pegs and wrap around 10th peg. Wrap around outside of loom, around all 10 pegs then bring yarn to inside of loom behind 3 pegs with stitches. NOTE: You can mark peg #14 with tape or a small elastic band. This peg is in between the loops. Wrap around peg #13 for right hand loops and peg #15 for left hand loops.

6. Wrap the 3 pegs and knit off.

7. Using tool, lift off fringe loops that are around the 10 pegs. Let loops drop to inside of the loom.

8. Continue with instructions #2 through #7 for five feet or for desired boa length. You will alternate making fringe on both sides of 3 pegs that have stitches.

9. Once you have the desired length of boa and all fringe loops have been dropped off, finish off by wrapping the 3 pegs and knit off. Bind pegs off using flat panel bind off. Use crochet hook to weave ends in. Gently tug on fringe loops to "lock'? in.

10. Worn around the neck, this boa is an eye catcher! It can also be tied around the waist and worn as a belt if you make it long enough. I used a yarn with loads of texture but any medium to bulky yarn will work. Just have fun with it!

Matching Hat and Scarf

Instructions
1. Scarf: Using the blue round loom, start with a yellow strand and a blue strand and continue to knit 10 rows. Then switch to both strands being yellow for another 10 rows, doing the same with two blue strands for another 10 rows. Because the yarn is corrugated your colors will vary in shade. Finish with 19 sections of color (19 sections of 10 rows a piece). This leaves you with a very thick tube scarf. For something a little less stiff use only one strand of yarn. Add fringe to the ends to give it a little more character or sew the ends together to close off the opening!
2. Double-sided hat: The key to making a double-sided hat is to make sure that you have the same amount of rows on both sides so that the designs do not overlap or show on the wrong side. Using the green loom, start by doing one strand of each color on one side. This consisted of 40 rows. Then begin the other side of the hat with two strands of yellow, which consisted of 10 rows. Switching to two strands of blue and knit 8 rows. Then switch to yellow, making 7 rows, and again blue with 8 rows. Finish with yellow making 7 rows. To close the hat off, used a blue strand of blue yarn to leave a fun little ring on the top of the hat. Note that this is a very big hat. It will be necessary to decide how many rows you will need to make a hat your size. Something else to keep in mind is that the color you finish with on your loom will become the top of your hat and NOT the rim. If you end up making the hat too large just roll it and have a brim!

Magic Fun Fur Scarf

Photos of the Magic 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.

Quick and Easy Tube Scarf for the Knifty Knitter Spool Loom

The thin spool scarves may be worn alone or several of may be braided together to make a thicker scarf as seen in the photo above. Fun fur yarn adds an interesting look to the scarf.

 

How to Knit a Scarf on the Knifty Knitter Round Loom

I get a lot of questions as to whether it is possible to knit a scarf on a round loom. It is indeed possible. What you will end up with is a tube of knit that lays flat into two layers. You sew the ends together with a whip stitch. Long looms lend themselves to knitting scarves because there are more stitches you can do on them, however, it is possible to knit a scarf on a round loom too. It can be done with the e-wrap stitch or the no wrap stitch.

Another option is to knit the scarf around the loom using 12 pegs and then stopping and reversing direction, knitting back and forth on the loom rather than all the way around it. This will create a flat, single layer scarf. Doing it this way, the knit will be prone to rolling at the sides and you will have to block it.

Make a Scarf on the Knifty Knitter Loom

I made a scarf on the pink knifty knitter loom. The finished width is 5-6 inches. I tube knitted it meaning that it is essentially a tube rather than a flat piece of cloth. The extra thickness of having two sides makes it very warm.

I made this scarf using a knitting off technique that I created myself. I call it the no-wrap stitch. It is the easiest way to knit off a knifty knitter loom, because the stitch does not become tight around the loom as with some other stitches.
