How to Knit Fashionable Scarves on Circle Looms: New Techniques for Knitting 12 Stylish Designs

General Directions

The patterns in this book were all made and written as if the loom was being worked in a clockwise direction, so all patterns start at the starting peg on the loom and are worked to the left as the loom is held facing you.

Materials

Knifty Knitter looms from Provo Craft*

Loom tool

Crochet hook

Yarn or tapestry needle

4. Purl on the return row.
