Once we got the hang of it, the process became addicting!Īfter her scarf was completed, we decided to hit the craft store and make one for me (and another one for her because why not)! As we were shopping, my daughter got the idea to make a scarf for her aunts and grandmothers for Christmas. We spent the better part of an hour learning how to use the loom and getting familiar with how it should be threaded. She presented me with a box that contained balls of yarn, a hook, a loom, and instructions. I became frustrated with the idea of counting, stored my hook, and gave up on any further attempts to learn.īut this past year, I was reacquainted with my former nemesis when my daughter asked me to help her with a crafting project she had received as a gift. I couldn’t figure out why my creation was turning into a lasagna noodle. Those of you that knit or crochet are probably saying, “You didn’t count right.”īut here’s the thing, I was counting I was just missing loops and attaching them incorrectly (I didn’t know that then).

When adding the second ball of yarn attach after the EWYO. Make sure you cast on an even number of stitches. In this bulky yarn you may need to clean up a loopy edge or add fringe to finish off.įor a wider scarf cast on additional stitches. I recommend the long tail cast on, but you may use another cast on method if you prefer. ĥ sts x 6 rows in 2” (5 cm) in sisal stitch pattern Kiss Looms Small Gauge Short 2-Way Adjustable Loom (30 pegs) ĬinDWood 5/8″ gauge Adult Hat Loom (48 pegs)īO = Bind off – Knit Peg 1, knit Peg 2, move 2 onto 1 and knit off (bottom loop over top).ĮWYO = EWrap Yarnover – Ewrap the empty peg.
