Knit a Scarf with Vertical Stripes

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.
