[Nfb-krafters-korner] Loom scrunchy instructions

[minh ha]

Hi Bar,

Wow, four? You've been busy! :). I love how versatile these scrunchies
can be. You can experiment with a variety of stitches and yarn to give
it a different look and feel. Thanks so much for sharing the super
stretchy bind off with us. I'm going to try it out when I have time
tosee how I like it. The basic bind off can get tight so it's better
if you cast on loosely.

>> 	Supply list:
>> 1.	24-peg blue knifty knitter round loom or similar small round loom
>> 2.	Loom tool
>> 3.	1 skein of yarn
>> 4.	Plain hair elastic
>>
>> Step 1: Make a slip knot with your yarn and place it on the first peg.
>> Step 2: E-wrap cast on all the way around the loom then knit 1 over 1.
>> To e-wrap, bring the working yarn to the inside of the loom, wrap the
>> peg all the way from the back to the front and back to the inside
>> again. (Cast on as loosely as possible.)
>> Step 3: Do ten rows of 1 over 1 e-wraps.
>> Step 4: To remove the project off the loom, you make a brim and place
>> the cast on loops over the hair elastic and on to the pegs. Place the
>> hair elastic in the middle inside of the loom, on top of the knitting.
>> Reach through the hair elastic, grab the cast on row and put each loop
>> back on to the pegs. Only put one loop on each peg. Do not put the
>> hair elastic on the loom. The knitting will simply go over the hair
>> elastic.
>> Step 5: Knit over all stitches.
>> Step 6: Do a basic flat bind off. Move the loop from the second peg
>> over to the first peg, knit over. Move the loop on the firse peg to
>> the second peg, then move the loop on the third peg to the second peg,
>> knit over. Continue with this pattern until all the loops are off the
>> loom. When you get to the last loop on the loom, e-wrap it, then cut
>> your working yarn, leaving a 3 inch tail. Pull the yarn through the
>> loop and pull tight. Weave in ends.
