Quick Loom Knit Scarf

Pin It

Sometimes it can be difficult to name a project.  When I sat down to make this scarf I was hovering between "Bargain Hunter Scarf" or "Quick Loom Scarf", but in the end the fact this was done in only a few hours made me lean more towards "Quick" rather than my other option.  The first  rejected title came about due to a wonderful shopping trip to Spotlight where I picked up the wool in the specials bin.  I can't tell you how thrilled I was to purchase a whole bag of "Bella Baby" wool (I've used 4 ply "Sparkle" in 60% acrylic and 40% wool for this project) on sale at $2.00 a ball and then  a discount voucher added to the mix making them half that price.  I was in craft heaven!  

My intention was to make a scarf that wasn't necessarily for warmth, but more a little something to add style to a mid-season wardrobe.

The pattern is very simple and this is a great beginner project:

Cast on 

Use e-wrap stitch (there's a great e-wrap video tutorial here), but rather than e-wrap every peg, e-wrap four pegs, run wool across the back of the next peg, e-wrap three, run wool across the back of the next peg, e-wrap three, run wool across the back of the next peg then e-wrap four.  This uses 17 pegs along one side of the 38 peg loom.

Pattern

As per cast on, e-wrap four, run wool across the back of the peg, e-wrap three, run wool across the back of the next peg, e-wrap three, run wool across the back of the next peg, e-wrap four.  Continue until scarf is desired length.  Cast off.

Tassels

For the tassel ends of the scarf, I cut five equal lengths of wool, folded them in half and formed a loop before threading them through the edge of the scarf (a couple of stitches from the base for extra strength), I then pulled the ends of the wool pieces through the loop and pulled gently to form the tassels.  Complete for both edges.  This project used just under one and a half 50g balls of wool.

My daughter loves how this loose knit scarf turned out and quickly squirreled it away to her room- I haven't had the heart to tell her I was actually making it for me!

Happy looming
