Cindy;
Can you go over the turn. It is not very clear, here. I have even forgotten how to do it and have a scarf to finish. I think you skip the corner peg and wrap in a slant, from even to odd and next time, odd to even.

They are using one row of pegs as even pegs and the other as odd pegs. So two pegs next to each other are pegs 1 and 3 so you are putting the yarn between the two pegs and wrapping around the first peg. Then you go across the loom to the other side and wrap between pegs 2 and 4 wrapping peg 2. Then back to the first side of the loom and between pegs 3 and 5 wrapping peg 3. This is a figure 8 pattern. Good Luck!

Hi All,
I am attempting to make a simple scarf using a 24 peg long loom, but boy am I perplexed on how to do the wrapping!
I have instructions of how to do this task pasted in below, but I just don't understand.
My question about the step is written after the step.
Step 1:
Wrap the end of the yarn around the peg on the end of the
loom to hold the yarn in place.
this I get, <grin>
Step 2:
Using the illustration as a guide, start with the yarn between
pegs 1 and 3, and wrap the yarn around peg 1. Bring yarn
between pegs 2 and 4 and wrap around peg 2. Then pull the
yarn between pegs 3 and 5, and wrap around peg 3. Continue
in this figure-8 method until you have wrapped the yarn around
enough pegs to match the desired width of your project.
Question: How do I put the yarn between pegs one and three?
Question: am I wrapping counterclockwise around a peg?
Question: are pegs one and two next to one another or across from one another?
Question: am I supposed to be skipping pegs?
Step 3:
When you get to the last even-numbered peg you want to use, wrap it and
then pull the yarn straight across the loom to the corresponding odd-
numbered peg, as shown.
Question: how am I ever to get to the last even numbered peg if I am only told to wrap odd numbered pegs?
Step 4:
Wrap the odd-numbered peg (now there will be two loops on it). Wrap the
even-numbered peg that is diagonal to the peg you just wrapped, instead of
wrapping the even-numbered peg across from the peg you just wrapped (a).
Continue wrapping back toward peg 1 in the figure-8 pattern, following the
lines of the previous row. After you have wrapped peg 1, pull the yarn straight
across between peg 2 and peg 4 (b).
Question: hmm, now I'm completely lost here. I tried wrapping assuming that pegs one and two were across from one another and came out with a rather strange looking block of wrap with no center whole. then wrapping with the assumption that pegs one and two were next to one another, I had odd numbered pegs wrapped but even numbered pegs with only yarn on each side of them.
Hmm, please help some one.
