A rectangular loom. 24 peg loom or larger - only the first 24 pegs (top and bottom combined) of any loom will be used. Place the loom on a table or other sturdy surface. This makes weaving a scarf with a loom easier. Yarn. Use a super bulky yarn or two strands of medium worsted weight yarn held together. Loom tool. This is a hook that comes with the loom. If you do not have a loom tool, use a crochet hook instead. Scissors. Tapestry or yarn needle.
Wrap the peg tightly to maintain tension. This keeps the finished scarf looking neat.
Hold end of the yarn taut with fingers. This will set up for completing the next round of wrapping.
There should be some resistance when pressing down on the yarn. This indicates good tension, which will result in a neat looking finished scarf. If the yarn feels loose or has already slid to the peg bottom on its own, then the pegs are not wrapped tightly enough. In this case, you may need to start over.
After wrapping the last peg, hold the yarn in place with fingers or wrap it around the anchor peg on this side of the loom.
After knitting the first loop on the lower row, repeat for the bottom loop on the upper row. Return to the lower row going back and forth to knit the loops until the end of the row. When finished working the first round of loops off the loom, only one stitch is on each of the pegs.
After a few rows, knit material comes through the bottom of the loom. Measure the knitted material to determine where the scarf will end. Four rows creates 1” (2. 5 cm) of knit material. For a scarf five feet long or 60” (152 cm), knit about 240 rows on the loom.
A crochet hook can be used for this part. This can be easier than using the loom tool because the crochet hook has a curved end.
One or both of the loops can slide off the hook if using the loom tool for this part, which is why using a crochet hook is easier.
Bind off loops in this fashion until the end of the loom is reached.
When the yarn cannot be woven any more, then tie off the yarn and cut off the excess.
