[Nfb-krafters-korner] hooded scarf

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

Looking forward to it!
I like working on the round loom better than the rake.  Still have not finished my first scarf on the rake loom!!!  To busy with items on the round loom.  Hats by the many and a baby blanket and a few hand knitted items and scarves by the few!

The one I just did was double knit on a large gauge long loom (knifty knitter) using I believe a #5 yarn, the one I'm about to start will be double knit on the AKB long loom using a single strand of #4 ya
There is a pattern for one done as a single knit flat panel on a round loom put out by knifty knitter using only the e wrap, but I would modify the stitch pattern to prevent curling of the edges.
Since I wear hearing aids it's hard for me to wear beanies and stocking caps as it causes whistling of the aids, so the hooded scarf is perfect for me.
