Beginner Scarf Pattern

This beginner scarf can be done on any of the long looms. The scarf is a good project for beginners to get a feel for loom knitting. Like any flat, one panel knit, the edges of this scarf will curl a bit. That can be minimized by wrapping the pegs loosely.

You will need:
  • A Knifty Knitter Long Loom
  • Knifty Knitter Hook
  • Lion Brand Jiffy Yarn




  1. Secure the yarn to the anchor peg at the end of the loom.
  2. Ewrap the loom to the 12th peg.
  3. Reverse direction and wrap the loom back to the 1st peg.
  4. Knit off using the hook.
  5. Wrap the loom again.
  6. Continue wrapping and knitting until the scarf measures 50 inches.
  7. Cast off the loom. 
  8. Cut 12 inch peices of yarn and tie fringe to the ends of the scarf.

Flat Top Hat Pattern

The flat top hat is flat at the top because it's finished with a horizontal seam, rather than gathered. This pattern is knitted with 2 yarns as if they are one. You can use fun fur for one of the yarns if you wish. For a small woman's hat the green round loom is used. If you like a larger hat, use the purple hat loom, or the extra large yellow loom.







  1. Knit 20 rows. 
  2. Make a brim by pulling the first row up through the center of the loom. Put the loops back on the pegs. Knit.
    (Now you have a double thickness brim.)
  3. Knit 20 more rows.
  4. Crochet cast off.
  5. Turn the hat inside out. Whip stitch the top closed as a flat seam, or crochet it closed as a flat seam, whichever you prefer.
  6. Tie off the yarn. 
  7. Turn the hat right side out.

  1. Knit 30 rows
  2. Cut the working yarn 12 inches long.
  3. Using the working yarn and a yarn needle, sew through each loop as you remove it from the loom.
  4. Pull it tight to close the hat and tie a square knot.
  5. The brim of the hat will naturally roll up.
