[Nfb-krafters-korner] loom-knit patterns with Jiffy bulky

Wed Dec 5 16:22:15 UTC 2012

Terry P, the magic scarf is a tube with both ends left open, you simply 
gather the open ends together and slip over your head. Since it is made on 
the 41 peg loom and it stretches, you can drape it over your shoulders and 
extend if down your arms some if you want. With it being made of such a 
lightweight yarn, it drapes very nicely.
A hooded scarf does not have to be a triangluar shape, it can be a retangle 
if made wide enough.
