Multicolored Figure 8 Stitch Scarf on the 9.5 inch Knifty Knitter Loom
My latest Knifty Knitter project was this multicolored scarf done on the 9.5 inch long loom. I used the figure 8 stitch with one strand of Red Heart Super Saver yarn. I published the full instructions for the scarf patterns here:

The colors remind me of jelly beans. It looks good with a denim jacket.
Blue scarf on the 9.5 inch long Knifty Knitter loom
This scarf was done on the Knifty Knitter 9.5 inch long loom. The stitch used was the honeycomb stitch. I used Red Heart Super Saver acrylic yarn in blue.
I wrote up the instructions for the scarf here:
How to Knit a Scarf in the Honeycomb Stitch
I've mentioned this before but, the best thing about this stitch is that the sides of the scarf will not roll. It creates a dense heavy knit perfect for winter. Here are some more photos:

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.
