For accessibility this pattern book is available in my etsy shop and my payhip shop. Flying above is a beautifully textured scarf made with a unique wrapped stitch pattern. In a lighter yarn it becomes a textured lace and in a heavier yarn it truly shows off. An option for adding blocks of solid color interspersed with speckled or variegated yarn lets you paint your own scarf design. The eight patterns in this collection all have the same basic underlying pennant construction, or more simply put, a long triangle shape. The patterns are all flexible. You may choose the loom size, the loom gauge, the yarn weight and the size you would like to make your scarf. Options are included to make smaller cowl sized scarves or larger shawls.

The eight patterns each have a unique stitch, ranging from simple garter stitch for easy, breezy knitting to wonderful textured stitches, slip, lace and tuck stitches.

A little scarf may be made on a large hat loom. Here are the options (peg counts) for each gauge:

¾ inch: 40, 41 or 42 pegs
5/8 inch: 48, 50, 51 or 54 pegs
½ inch: 60 or 66 pegs
3/8 inch small: 72, 80 or 82 pegs
3/8 inch fine: 90 pegs
