Matching Hat and Scarf Pattern



Knifty Knitter Hat and Scarf Set

Instructions
1. Note: you may want to use the Green Loom which is the size that more adults make their hats, but the sample shown is an ex-large.
2. Using one strand each of Ranch Red and Burgundy, wrap and knit 20 rows and make a brim, by pulling the first row back up on the pegs and knitting them over.
3. Pattern for the rest of the project: Change to the Spring Green and using 2 strands of yarn knit 5 rows, change to the Delft Blue and using 2 strands of yarn knit 5 rows.
4. Change to the Ranch Red and Burgundy and knit 15 rows. Repeat these three colors until you have 5 sets of knitting.
5. Finishing: Crochet the loops from the loom and sew the top flat.
6. Cut 7" pieces of yarn and using 6 pieces make fringe. Do one bunch of blue then a bunch of green across the top of the hat.
7. This is a very warm hat and scarf for those cold winter days. This project takes a little longer than most, but it is worth the time spent.

Magic Fun Fur 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.

Ballet Style Ribbed Leg Warmers

Begin with the Red Round Loom and cast on using the ewrap.

Create ribbing by alternating knit (no wrap) and purl stitches and you knit in a circular motion continuously around the loom. Do this until the knit is approximately 3 inches.

Work approximately 70 rows of no wrap stitches.

Create 3 more inches of ribbing around the bottom of leg warmers.

Bind off by sewing through each loop to remove it from the loom. Using a crochet cast off will make the edge too tight.


How to Purl




Choosing and Using Knifty Knitter Looms


Knifty Knitter looms are typically sold in sets of four. The long looms are sold together as a set and the round looms are sold together as a set. Each set comes with the Knifty Knitter hook  and a yarn needle. While the looms are typically found in sets at department stores, they can be found for sale individually online at Amazon or Ebay. Knifty knitter looms are quickly becoming popular because they are easy for beginners or children to learn to use.

Long Looms

  • The blue long loom is 22 inches wide. Because this is the longest of all the looms, it is usually used for knitting blankets and afghans.
  • The green long loom is 18 inches wide. This loom is commonly used for making pillows and children's shawls and sweaters.
  • The yellow long loom is 14 inches wide. The yellow long loom is typically used for making children's hats and crafts.
  • The pink long loom is typically used for making crafts and is 10 inches long.
The Knifty Knitter long looms are typically used for knitting blankets, shawls and scarves. To knit flat pieces of work such as a blanket or scarf, one edge of the loom left open. It is possible to knit a hat or a tube knit project on a long loom by knitting around the loom in a circular pattern, but long looms are better suited for flat knits.The size of your finished work determines how many pegs you should knit off. Because you do not have to knit off all the pegs you can use the longest loom to knit virtually anything, because you do not have to knit off all the pegs. The smaller looms do not have enough pegs to make large pieces of work.

Round Looms

  • The yellow loom (11.5 inches wide) is for extra-large adult hats.
  • The green loom (9.5 inches wide) is for adult hats.
  • The red loom (7.5 inches wide) is for knitting children’s hats and scarves.
  • The blue loom (5.5 inches wide) is for baby’s hats, mittens, booties, socks, etc.
The round looms also come in a set of 4 looms of various sizes and lend themselves to knitting hats, socks, slippers, and mittens. The long looms can be used for knitting flat pieces of work by leaving one side of the knit open, rather than knitting circularly, but the loom shape lends itself to tube knitting.

Flower Loom

The flower loom is sold individually and is not included with any set. It is used to create flowers. It includes a Knifty Knitter Hook, a yarn needle, and instructions to knit flowers.

Knifty Knitter Spool Loom
The first thing you should know about a spool loom is that it has 2 ends and both may be used for knitting. There is a wide end and a narrow end. Spool looms are generally used for knitting long ropes or cables. For example, the strap of a loom knitted purse is often made with the spool loom. Here are a few patterns to get you started using your Knifty Knitter spool loom, including some ideas you wouldn't expect, such as a Valentine's Day card and a scarf! 







Braided Tube Scarf Pattern

for the Knifty Knitter Spool Loom


Knifty Knitter Spool Loom ScarfThis scarf is made by knitting 5 long tubes on the spool loom and braiding them together along with some fun fur. It adds depth and dimension to the finished scarf. You can experiment by mixing and matching the knitted tubes in different colors. I've seen one done in the primary blue and yellow. It was adorable. This can be a very long project for a beginner, because it takes a while to make all the tubes.

Skill Level: Beginner

You will need:

* Knifty Knitter Pom Pom and Tassel Maker
* Knifty Knitter Spool Loom
* Knifty Knitter hook
* Yarn Needle
* 3 or 4 skeins of worsted weight yarn

Braided Tube Scarf for the Spool Loom
 
 This is the Knifty Knitter spool loom by Provo Craft. If you haven't seen one, you may not realize that they have 2 sides with pegs. One end is slight smaller than the other, so you can make 2 different widths of knit on the same loom. The smaller side can also be used to make the thumb of a mitten or glove.
