[Nfb-krafters-korner] tube scarf

[Powers, Terry (NIH/NCI) [E]]

On a 31 peg loom, when you stitch it closed, there is an extra stitch.  We are talking about how to handle that stitch.
I am just used to wide scarves.

I'm confused. Isn't a tube scarf a scarf that is tubular in shape? Why would a 31 peg matter if you just keep wrapping around and around?

I've made tube scarves on a 24 peg loom and I think that since they are double the thickness the width isn't too bad. I kind of like the width on a 24 pegger.
