Fun Fur Skinny Scarf for the Knifty Knitter Flower Loom

Loom Knit Fun Fur ScarfKnifty Knitter Fun Fur Scarf

This is a fun fur scarf pattern that can be easily loomed by a beginner. It has detailed instructions for someone new to loom knitting. It is also a skinny scarf, so it knits up quickly.

Skill: Beginner

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1: The pegs on the Flower Loom have not been glued in. Remove every other peg from the loom. You will now have 6 pegs in the loom.


Step 2: Holding both the boucle yarn and fun fur yarn together as one, secure the yarn on the side of the loom on the anchor peg. 


Step 3: E wrap all 6 pegs.

Step 4: Wrap the pegs again and knit the bottom loops over the top loops and over the pegs, releasing the yarn to the inside of the loom. You have now completed one row of knitting.


Step 5: Continue wrapping and knitting over until your scarf reaches the desired length or until you have run out of yarn.


Step 6: End with about a 12” yarn tail. Thread this tail on a yarn needle and sew through each of the six loops. Pull up tight and tie off.


Step 7: Thread the starting yarn on the needle and sew up the beginning end. Tie and weave in the end.


Step 8: Beads can be sewn on the two ends for weight and decoration. (This yarn does not make good pom-poms or tassels. Decorations like beads or buttons work best.)

Note: For a furrier scarf, use 2 strands of fun fur yarn.

Other Supplies

    Knifty Knitter Pom Pom Maker
  • crochet hook
  • 2 skeins (A) Red Heart Light and Lofty Pheasant
  • 1 skein (B) Lion Brand Chunky USA Yukon Gold
  • 1 skein (C) Lion Brand Chunky USA Desert Sand
NOTE: The sample measures 64" x 8", not including the pom-poms.

Step 1: Using the main color of yarn, wrap 24 of the pegs on the purple loom. Wrap in the figure 8 pattern for the first row. Continue wrapping in the fashion stitch, or just go back and forth around the pegs.

Step 2: Knit 9 rows and then change the yarn to the B color. Knit 3 rows. When attaching the new
color of yarn, tie the two colors together in a square knot, leaving tails of about 4".

Step 3: Change the yarn to the C color and knit 3 rows.

Step 4: Change back to the B color yarn and knit 3 rows.

Step 5: Change back to the A color of yarn and knit the middle of the scarf (114 rows, or the length that you would like).

Step 6: Reverse the pattern from the beginning end with the B and C colors. Finish with the A color yarn.

Step 7: Finish by adding 3 ½" wide pom-poms, and single crochet yarn string to attach the pom-poms to the ends of the scarf.

The video below shows the fashion stitch being done. The loom here used is the blue long loom, not the rectangle loom, however the stitch is done in the same manner as the pattern above.
The video below shows how to make pom poms using the Knifty Knitter pom pom maker. If you do not have one, you can still use this method of wrapping on a round loom to get the same outcome.

Other Supplies

  • 1 skein green 4-ply knitting worsted yarn
  • 1 skein variegated green 4-ply or knitting worsted yarn
  • crochet hook size G or H

 

Note: This is a very good project for a beginner to learn the basics of loom knitting. It is also a very good project for understanding how a flat panel can be knitted on a round loom. Flat panels do have a tendency to roll at the edges, and as you can see in the photo, both sides of the scarf are not the same.

Skill level: Beginner

Step 1: Using 2 strands of green yarn, wrap all the way around the loom to peg 24

Step 2:Using peg 24 as the turning peg, wrap back to the first peg, wrapping the opposite way. Knit the first row over the second row. (There will only be one wrap around peg 24 until you wrap back on the third row.)

Step 3: Turn and wrap again. Continue knitting and wrapping for 19 rows.

Step 4: Change one of the green yarns to the variegated yarn and knit seven rows.

Step 5: Change back to the green and knit seven rows.

Step 6: Change to variegated and knit approximately 47" to the other end of the scarf. Repeat the pattern going backwards to make the ends look alike.

Step 7: To remove from the loom, you may want to use a crochet hook. Lift the first loop from the peg and then life the second loop from the peg. Loosely crochet through these two loops and then take off the third loop and crochet through the two loops on the needle. Continue taking all of the loops from the loom and pull the yarn through the last loop. Pull tight and cut the yarn, leaving 4" or 5" to weave into the scarf.
Step 8: Cut 7" pieces of yarn to make fringe.
