How long are your standard scarves????

[starnstv]

@blondiestud00 It sort of depends on the height of your person. I've heard adult sized is anywhere from 60 - 70 inches, or 5-6 feet long. Another way to do it is make the scarf the same amount length wise as the person is tall. Also take into consideration how they will wear it. If they want to wrap the scarf around the neck, or tie it through a loop, then I'd make it longer. I usually test the length as I go and see what feels right.

thanks for the video but i have a question,how did you connect the second pom pom to the scarf if you end it the way you do a hat?

thanks

[starnstv]

@iamproverbs3125 If the ends of the scarf are gathered, then it will be easier. You will need a metal needle (sometimes called a tapestry needle) sold in a 2-pack for about $1 at crafts stores, which has a semi/blunt end and a large eye hold for easy threading. The blue plastic needle that comes with the looms is useless. The metal needle will cut through/between yarn strands. I try to run through the scarf & back through the pom pom a few times and hide/bury the ends inside the scarf

@starnstv thanks, and one more thing, the pom pom on the scarf you show, what did you make that with, i tried my pom pom maker and it was not large enough. i have been playing with different things and i just can not find the right size

[starnstv]

@iamproverbs3125 Most of the time I just use my fingers and wrap the yarn around. If I want a really big pom pom I will spread my fingers out and then wrap around that. If you want anything larger than that I would try the side of a DVD case (like I do for the tassels only the short way.  Hope that helps

Hi, thank you so much for your knitting videos :),

I was wondering if you knew how I could connect both ends of the scarf so that it would make a circle scarf ?

Thanks again,

Bye

I so agree with you, Mzleca22! This is great. In fact, I'm making leg warmers out of this ;)

[Mzleca22]

Excellent tutorial.

OMG, I love it! I saw a woman today randomly at a meeting doing this (she was making a hat though) and I was so intrigued so I came across your videos! I'm so interested in this now! I've been wanting to make a scarf for a long time and your videos are really easy to follow. Thank you!

I would NEVER have figured out how to do this just by reading the instructions. Your videos are great.

thank u verrt help full :)

I finally gave up on trying to figure out how to knit a scarf and then I stumbled across your video. I already had looms and was making hats and I got so excited that it was possible to make scarves from looms! Thank you so much for posting these videos!

I just finished my first scarf! Great job on your tutorial, and thanks for including how to make and attach the tassels. I'll be mailing my scarf to my great Aunt in NY, I hope she likes it! :-)

Hi! Great videos and easy to understand. I am wondering if you ever made a tutorial on how to make a flat panel on a round loom. I have watched mikey's video, but I am very confused about the end stitches. He seems to leave the end stitches undone, and I can't, for the life of me, figure out how that "serves a purpose" as he says. It may be really easy, but I don't get how to turn around to go backwards and what to do with those stitches. Can you please make it clearer for me? Thank You!

[gtac37]

I wanted to thankyou too. I just finished my first tubular scarf and I knew to check back to your video to see how to finish it so both ends match. Thanks so much for your video.
