Beginner Scarf Pattern

This beginner scarf can be done on any of the long looms. The scarf is a good project for beginners to get a feel for loom knitting. Like any flat, one panel knit, the edges of this scarf will curl a bit. That can be minimized by wrapping the pegs loosely.

You will need:
  • A Knifty Knitter Long Loom
  • Knifty Knitter Hook
  • Lion Brand Jiffy Yarn




  1. Secure the yarn to the anchor peg at the end of the loom.
  2. Ewrap the loom to the 12th peg.
  3. Reverse direction and wrap the loom back to the 1st peg.
  4. Knit off using the hook.
  5. Wrap the loom again.
  6. Continue wrapping and knitting until the scarf measures 50 inches.
  7. Cast off the loom. 
  8. Cut 12 inch peices of yarn and tie fringe to the ends of the scarf.

Flat Top Hat Pattern

The flat top hat is flat at the top because it's finished with a horizontal seam, rather than gathered. This pattern is knitted with 2 yarns as if they are one. You can use fun fur for one of the yarns if you wish. For a small woman's hat the green round loom is used. If you like a larger hat, use the purple hat loom, or the extra large yellow loom.







  1. Knit 20 rows. 
  2. Make a brim by pulling the first row up through the center of the loom. Put the loops back on the pegs. Knit.
    (Now you have a double thickness brim.)
  3. Knit 20 more rows.
  4. Crochet cast off.
  5. Turn the hat inside out. Whip stitch the top closed as a flat seam, or crochet it closed as a flat seam, whichever you prefer.
  6. Tie off the yarn. 
  7. Turn the hat right side out.

  2. Knit a row.
  3. Ewrap one more row and knit. Continue until the knit reaches 6.5 inches.

  5. Change the yarn color to 2 strands of green. Knit 29 rows, or approximately 8 inches.

  8. Ewrap the heel pegs and knit.
  9. Continue to decrease the width of the knit by pulling the loops at the edge of the knit through the previous loop before knitting. (Loop 2 through 3, and loop 13 through 14.) When you've done this 3 times, you will have 3 empty pegs on each side.
  10. With the remaining 9 pegs, knit four rows.
  11. Now, you'll begin to add stitches, or increase stitch. Each time you knit to the end of a row, add a stitch to an empty peg. When you've done this six times, all the empty pegs will be filled. 
  12. Using the green yarn, knit 27 more full rounds. 
  13. Change to the red yarn and knit 10 rows. This is the toe of the stocking.
  14. Run the working yarn through all the loops on the loom to remove them one by one. Pull the working yarn tight to cinch closed the toe of the stocking. Tie off the yarn.
  15. Turn the stocking inside out and use the remaining yarn to stitch the two sides of the heel closed.
