Quick and Easy Tube Scarf for the Knifty Knitter Spool Loom




  1. E-Wrap the large end of the loom using one strand of yarn.
  2. Continue wrapping in a continuous clockwise motion around the loom until you have wrapped a second row.
  3. Knit off. 
  4. Repeat step 2 and 3 until the scarf is 48 inches long.
  5. Sew through each loop to remove the scarf from the loom. Pull tight.
  6. Attach a pom pom to the each end of the scarf. The Knifty Knitter brand pom pom maker may be used to make pom poms.
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.

 




Basic Beanie Hat on the Knifty Knitter Yellow Long Loom

This pattern is for a basic beanie that measures 18 inches around (circumference) and is 11 1/2 inches tall. It is knitted on the long loom, so it's one of the few patterns for a hat on a long loom, rather than a round loom.

You will need:
  • Red Heart Super Saver Yarn - Light and Lofty in your choice of color
  • Yellow Knifty Knitter Long Loom
  • Knitting Hook
  • Yarn Needle


  1. E-wrap and knit 50 rows using the one-over-one stitch.
  2. Cut the working yarn leaving a tail that is at least 12 inches long.
  3. Thread the yarn through a yarn needle. 
  4. Starting with the peg closest to the working yarn, thread the yarn through each loop and remove it from the peg. 
  5. Move to the next peg and repeat step 4. 
  6. When all the loops have been removed from the loom, pull the yarn tight, knot it and weave it into the inside of the beanie.

Honeycomb Knit on a Long Loom

Honeycomb knit is a beautiful and stretchy knit that is ideal in blankets and scarves. It is created by alternating the direction of the double ribbed stitch to make a "honeycomb" pattern.

  1. Secure the yarn to the anchor peg.
  2. E-wrap the first bottom peg.
  3. Pull yarn up to the peg directly above it and e-wrap.
  4. Pull yarn to the peg directly beside and e-wrap. 
  5. Pull yarn down to the peg directly below and e-wrap.
  6. Pull yarn to the peg directly beside and e-wrap.


  7. Repeat steps 3-7 until you've reached the end of the loom.
  8. For the second wrap, trace the path of the yarn back to the beginning peg. Trace the path exactly as it appears in the previous row.
  9. Knit off.
  10. Continue wrapping and knitting until you have completed 7 rows.









  1. Reverse the direction of the boxes, so that the yarn follows the opposite path, crossing from peg to peg where there was an empty space in the previous row.
  2.  Knit seven rows with the yarn in the opposite path.
  3. Return to the original path of the yarn and knit 7 rows. Continue until the knit reaches the desired length.
