Free, Simple Loom Knitting Patterns for Scarves
Loom knitting patterns that look anything but basic
If you're looking for simple, basic loom knitting patterns that don't look simple and basic, you came to the right place. Here's a collection of five knitting patterns that are quick and easy to make but are sure to impress your friends.
Knifty Knitter Child's Striped Scarf
This beginner-level scarf is a breeze to make. All that's required is two skeins of yarn, a small rake knitting loom (or medium circular), a crochet hook and knowing how to do the basic knit stitch.
Young kids love the stripes in this scarf instead of a plain one-color scarf and the color change is easy to do. Knit ten rows, and then change color. Repeat this seven times, make the fringe and you're done.
For fashion-conscious girls, you can easily make them a variety to match their favorite outfits. For boys, choose their favorite 'manly' colors. They'll be warm and toasty on their way to school.
Chunky Funky Scarf
This scarf is as much fun as its name. Tweens and teens alike are going to love it. Chunky with stripes and three giant pom-poms on the ends make this an eye-catching scarf. You need just four skeins, a long rake loom (purple knifty knitter) or a large circular loom, crochet hook and you're in business.
This pattern is rated for beginners but if changing colors intimidates you, just use a variegated yarn to get the striped look.
This scarf is also a beginner level scarf, but it's the perfect knitting pattern for adults. You can make this in a basic, masculine color and men will love it. Women who want a classic scarf with a little extra pizzazz can spice it up with novelty yarns.
The pattern requires two skeins of yarn and a medium-sized circular round loom (blue Knifty Knitter). Even though this pattern is simple, it uses a little bit of a different technique.
To make this unique scarf, you wrap each row with two strands of yarn and knit. Next, you double wrap with one strand of the solid-color yarn and one strand of the variegated yarn. This gives the scarf a very muted, watercolor look.
If you're tired of making plain scarves that use only the knit or stockinette stitch, try these two patterns. The Bostonian Scarf and the Loom-Knit Cables and Lace Scarf make it a little bit more interesting for you. Both patterns are rated easy but by changing up stitches, you get some interesting cables and textures going.
The Bostonian pattern uses the stockinette stitch and the open braid stitch but is still simple to make and looks terrific. The Loom-Knit Cables and Lace pattern requires a stockinette cast on and left and right cable twists but the instructions are included in the pattern. This scarf is well-worth the effort to learn this stitch if you already haven't.
There you go! Five free knitting patterns for you to start loom-knitting scarves. All rated easy or beginner, you'll be flying through these scarves in no time.
