Loom knitting
Hi. Keep up your great crafting everyone!
Well, I have been loom knitting for charity, making hats and scarves for different homeless shelters who I donate things I make to each year. I love the loom knitting. My favorite scarf pattern is a tube scarf. I hope I can write this clearly:
TO MAKE a tube scarf on a knitting loom: Cast On to the knitting loom as for a hat.
After you wrapped all the pegs, just keep on knitting (lift the bottom wrapped loop over the top wrapped loop) and then I knit about 5-6 feet, using two or more strands of yarn together, for a thicker knit. Then finish off as you do on any knitting hat project, and if you want to crochet the two edges, use a double or single crochet stitch. That’s what I do.
TIP: please don’t wrap the pegs too tightly or you can’t knit off. I find these tube scarves to be very warm and they
take about a week to make, depending on how long you knit. Anyway, it is therapeutic and fun for me to do and also it is so very satisfying to help others this way! You can use up small amounts of leftover yarn this way. I tie knots when I change colors, but if you can change colors any other way, please do it and please post a comment here how you do it without tying knots in the yarn at color changes. Thanks in advance. I take a yarn needle at the ends and I weave the loose yarn ends through the knitted fabric and then inside the double layers. If anyone wants to add to this tube scarf “pattern” here, so everyone can read it, please do…
