When scarf length is reached, bind it off. Lay the working yarn across the center of the loom.For a scarf five feet long or 60” (152 cm), knit about 240 rows on the loom. Four rows creates 1” (2.5 cm) of knit material.Measure the knitted material to determine where the scarf will end. After a few rows, knit material comes through the bottom of the loom.Continue until scarf is the length desired. Continue the process of wrapping the yarn around the pegs and working back and forth across rows to knit the loops. When finished working the first round of loops off the loom, only one stitch is on each of the pegs.Return to the lower row going back and forth to knit the loops until the end of the row. After knitting the first loop on the lower row, repeat for the bottom loop on the upper row.Bring the loop up and over the other loop on the peg to knit it. Insert loom tool through the bottom loop on the last peg in lower row. When each peg in the row is wrapped twice (except for last peg on upper end of the loom) begin working the bottom row of loops off the loom. Use loom tool to lift bottom loops over top loops.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.Wrap this peg from the opposite direction. Keep wrapping the yarn around the pegs in the same direction as first round of loops until the last peg (the first peg wrapped on the first pass). Loop last peg in the opposite direction.Bring the yarn up to the next peg moving back towards the beginning of the loom. To make a second pass, bring the yarn down from the last peg wrapped and around it in the same direction as the yarn from the previous pass. Each peg (except for the last peg wrapped) will need to have two loops on it before working the loops off the loom. Wrap the yarn around the stitches again.In this case, you may need to start over. ![]() If the yarn feels loose or has already slid to the peg bottom on its own, then the pegs are not wrapped tightly enough. This indicates good tension, which will result in a neat looking finished scarf. There should be some resistance when pressing down on the yarn.This moves the loops down on the pegs and creates room to loop the yarn around each of the pegs again. Before wrapping in the opposite direction, press down on the yarn between the pegs with the side of the hand. This will set up for completing the next round of wrapping.Hold end of the yarn taut with fingers.Bring the yarn straight up from the bottom peg, and then around the peg. On the last peg, wrap the yarn around the peg in the opposite direction. Loop the yarn around last peg in the opposite direction.Do this until all but the last peg on the upper row is wrapped. ![]() Continue wrapping the yarn around the pegs, repeating the sequence used for the first two pegs.
