I'm so loving this scarf. It has great texture and an awesome, puffy pom-pom at the end.
This is the waffle stitch pom-pom scarf I hope you guys are ready to start.
Hey it's Denise from Loomahat.com. And, we want to thank Promise Learning
for covering the cost of closed captioning.
See the description for a list of supplies.
You're going to start by securing the working yarn to the anchor
peg with a simple knot. You can do a slip knot if you want to. And, take the working
yarn behind the first peg and come back to the front, up in front of that one,
behind the next one, in front of that one, behind the next one. Then you're going to
zig-zag your working yarn, so it's in and out, in and out, until you've reached 18
pegs. And then you're going to turn around because we're going to be
knitting flat. So take that yarn and you're going to cross over and come to
the peg and next to it and then you're going to lay your working yarn flat over
a few pegs. Bring down your loops so you can lay that yarn flat over it and hold
on to it with your fingers. Get your hook and you're going to knit off every peg
that has two loops. So after you do a few of them, take your yarn and cover a few
more. And again you're knitting off. See that loop right
there, you're going to knit off, every peg that has two loops and as you can tell
it's every other peg. You're going to keep doing this until you get to that first
loop, which by the way, the first peg, I mean that first peg, does not have two
loops it only has one. And you're going to turn around
and bring that yarn forward and lay it over the peg that has a loop on it. And now
we're going to do a U-wrap knit stitch. so you're going to have wrap your peg
and knit off. And, continue all the way to get to that 18th peg because you're
doing one row of the U-wrap knit stitch.
now that last peg looks a little funky as you can see here. Just bring the yarn
and cross it over and knit off. And now your cast on is done and we're ready for
the first row. In this case, rows 1 through 4 are exactly the same. So you're
going to slip 1, purl 1 and then you're going to knit 4, purl 1 until the last
peg and that stitch you will knit.
Alright let's do it. We're going to skip
that first peg and go here to purl. So we're turning around because we're knitting
flat and the yarn is under the loop. We're going to scoop up the working yarn
and create a new loop and then take the loop that's on the peg, off the peg and
the new loop that we just created, we're going to put it on the peg and pull the
yarn to tighten that loop. And then we're going to knit. So we're going to knit
four pegs. This is the pattern that we're going to follow,
so here's peg 2, 3 and then we're going to do one more knit stitch, we're using
the U-wrap version of the knit stitch and knit off. That was knit number four and
now we're going to purl. And remember this is the stitch pattern that we're
going to continue to do, so we're going to knit four and purl one until we reach
the very last peg. So keep going, knitting four and doing one purl after
those four knits.
Don't forget you're gonna knit that last peg. Now repeat the pattern, slip one,
right here, purl one and then you're going to knit 4, purl 1 until you get to the
last peg which you will knit off.
Now for row 5, we're going to slip 1, purl 16 and knit the last peg.
Hey and don't forget to remove that knot from the anchor peg after a few rows.
Remember to knit that last stitch for row 5 and when you're finished with that
stitch, you just start over again, purl, knit 4, purl, knit 4, purl, knit 4, knit 1
at the end. You're repeating rows 1 through 5 until you get the desired
length I want it 6 feet so I did 490 rows. In
between, I did need some yarn and this is what I did, I just took the two skeins,
the tips and I did a basic knot, nothing major.
Once I tie my basic knot, I pull to make sure that it's really, really secure and
then I did a second knot. This is very important, you don't want this to get
loose in the wash. And then I didn't want to see it so I cut my little ends with a
nice sharp scissor and I make sure I have no fuzzies because I hate to see
those little fuzzies in between. And I pull on it to make sure it's secure and
then I continue my pattern. Now the last four rows are going to be your same four
rows that you started with. So you're going to slip one, purl one and then do
the stitch pattern of the knit 4, purl 1, until the last stitch which you're
going to knit. And then this is what you'll have when you are there. Isn't
this beautiful? Alright so guess what's next? It's your
last row, you're gonna slip one and knit 23. -Woohoo, knit that last row with joy !
And here we go ...
Wow, like I don't know why this music reminds me of church.
Now it's time to bind off. Now take the working yarn and wrap it around the loom
completely. Get your scissors and cut the working yarn. Then you're going to take
your hook and move that first loop over to the one next to it, tighten that and
knit off. You're going to do the same thing with the last one. You're gonna
move that last loop from the peg, over to the next one and knit off. Now you're
going to take that working yarn and you're gonna feed it through every one
of the loops. So from the bottom, you pull up and feed the string completely. Make
sure that you get all 16 loops which is what you should have left after
decreasing on both ends. You have 16 loops and you're gonna feed your working
yarn through all of them. When you're done with the hook, you can remove the
loops from your loom. Now, I'm gonna give you a heads up that it's gonna look
really weird at the end. In fact, it looks wider than the rest of it. Don't worry
about it, it even looks wider than your first one. We're gonna fix that. For now,
you're gonna focus on stretching those stitches and make sure you stretch long
ways and the width as well. So you're stretching both ways. Alright, and then
you're going to take that working yarn the that you finish with and you're
going to pull on it and this is going to gather all of those stitches into a tip.
You're going to do the same thing on the other side because you want that end to
come together and just look like a point. At the end of this point is where you're
going to connect your pom-pom. So you want it nice and gathered. So just pull
it as tight as you can.
it's time to add the pom-pom I made mine using the clover and I will give you a
link to that awful video in my description. -And some sharp scissors. So
here's the second one and you have to find where you tied the pom-pom. I put a
needle on the end of my working yarn so that I could bring it back to the other
end and finish closing off that tip. So I pull on it and now with that same blunt
needle I'm going to the yarn that I made the knot for my pom-pom and I am going to
feed it through that little hole that is created from you doing the gathered bind
off. And I'm gonna secure it by coming back on the other end and I am going to
tie the working yarn from the scarf with the working yarn from the pom-pom. And,
this is my way of doing it, however it works for you to get this pom pom
attached to the scarf you use that method. And I want to secure it a little
bit more so I got my crochet hook and I feed my other string from the pom-pom
and I make a knot with the string from the pom, from the scarf as well, And
there you have it. You're basically done. Now just cut off the excess yarn. If you
liked the video. like it, share it, comment and if you don't, well there's always
next time.
