Knifty Knitter Rectangle Loom Scarf

SCARF INSTRUCTIONS  Note: This is the basic "eight wrap" scarf for the rectangle loom. These instructions have been available in the product packaging for the rectangle loom.

It is usually best to knit with two strands of knitting worsted yarn held together (treating them like one strand) or to use one strand of bulky yarn.
Step 1: Wrap the end of the yarn around the peg on the end of the loom to hold the yarn in place.
Step 2: Using the illustration as a guide, start with the yarn between pegs 1 and 3, and wrap the yarn around peg 1. Bring yarn between pegs 2 and 4 and wrap around peg 2. Then pull the yarn between pegs 3 and 5, and wrap around peg 3. Continue in this figure-8 method until you have wrapped the yarn around enough pegs to match the desired width of your project.
Step 3: When you get to the last even-numbered peg you want to use, wrap it and then pull the yarn straight across the loom to the corresponding odd-numbered peg, as shown.
Step 4a: Wrap the odd-numbered peg (now there will be two loops on it). Wrap the even-numbered peg that is diagonal to the peg you just wrapped, instead of wrapping the even-numbered peg across from the peg you just wrapped (a).
Step 4b: Continue wrapping back toward peg 1 in the figure-8 pattern, following the lines of the previous row. After you have wrapped peg 1, pull the yarn straight across between peg 2 and peg 4 (b).
Step 5: Holding the yarn in place with your finger, use the enclosed hook to lift the bottom yarn loop on peg 1 over the top loop and off the peg. Continue with the hook to lift the bottom row of yarn loops over the top row and off of each peg, as shown.
Step 6: Wrap peg 2, then peg 3, then peg 4, and so on, wrapping the pegs in the same figure-8 pattern. When you reach the last even-numbered peg, wrap it, then pull the yarn straight across to the corresponding odd-numbered peg (Step 3). Hold the yarn in place with your finger while you lift the bottom loop over the top loop and off of the last even-numbered peg. Then pull all the other bottom loops over the top loops and off the pegs. Repeat Steps 4-6 until your project has reached the desired length. After finishing several rows, you can remove the original end of yarn from the outside peg and let it hang. (Note: The knitting will be very loose. You will need to knit several rows before your project is visible.)
Step 7: When your project has reached the desired length, and only one row of loops remains on the pegs, you are ready to remove the yarn from the loom. Cut the end of your wrapping yarn (leaving a few inches). Using a crochet hook, size G or H, start at the end opposite the yarn tail, and lift the loop off the odd-numbered peg with the crochet hook. Go straight across the loom to the even-numbered peg and lift that loop off with the hook. Now you have two loops on your crochet hook. Pull the second loop through the first.
Step 8: Then, using the hook, go under the loop and pull the wrapping yarn up through.

Here are photos of some eight wrap scarfs that I've done. They are done with only one yarn.

Fun Fur Skinny Scarf for the Knifty Knitter Flower Loom

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. Provo Craft Tools Knifty Knitter Flower Loom hook yarn needle Other Supplies Lion Brand Yarn Bouclé - color of choice Fun Fur yarn

Scarf with Pom Poms for the Knifty Knitter Rectangle Loom

Skill level: Beginner

Provo Craft Tools Knifty Knitter Purple Rectangle Loom hook yarn needle Pom Pom Maker Other Supplies 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.
