This long loom knitting pattern highlights the versatility of loom knitting.

Pre-requisites:

If using a small round loom, loop your yarn around the peg that is on the side of the loom. Wrap your yarn first around the back of the first peg, then around the front clockwise and around the back again so that the peg is surrounded by a complete loop.

Repeat this process until all the pegs have one loop on them. Then wrap them again in the same manner so they all have two loops on them.

Beginning with the first peg you wrapped and continuing in the same direction around the loom, use the loom hook to pick up the bottom loop and slide it over the top of the peg, leaving the top loop on the peg. Continue around until you have one loop left on each peg.

Wrap each peg as before and continue in this manner until your scarf is the length you want or you almost run out of thread.

To remove the scarf from the loom, thread your yarn needle and pick all the loops off the pegs (you should only have one loop on each peg when you do this. Fold the scarf in half the way you want it to look when finished and use the loops as a guide to sew the end closed. Finish by sewing the opposite end closed with another piece of yarn.

Scarves are not exactly the hardest projects, but they become even easier when knitted up on looms.

Loom knitting is much simpler than standard knitting. A great way to get a child interested in knitting, loom knitting is great fun, with results appearing in not time!

Good luck with this free loom knitting pattern!
