Instructions
1. Scarf: Using the blue loom I started with a yellow strand and a blue strand and continued to do 10 rows. Then I switched to both strands being yellow for another 10 rows, doing the same with two blue strands for another 10 rows. Because the yarn is corrugated your colors will vary in shade. I finished with 19 sections of color (19 sections of 10 rows a piece). This leaves you with a very thick tube scarf. For something a little less stiff use only one strand of yarn. Add fringe to the ends to give it a little more character or sew the ends together to close off the opening!
2. Double-sided hat: The key to making a double-sided hat is to make sure that you have the same amount of rows on both sides so that the designs do not overlap or show on the wrong side. Using the green loom I started out by doing one strand of each color on one side. This consisted of 40 rows. Then I began the other side of the hat with two strands of yellow. which consisted of 10 rows. Switching to two strands of blue I did 8 rows. Then I switched back to yellow making 7 rows, and again blue with 8 rows. I finished off with yellow making 7 rows. To close the hat off I used a blue strand of blue yarn to leave a fun little ring on the top of the hat. Note that this is a very big hat. It will be necessary to decide how many rows you will need to make a hat your size. Something else to keep in mind is that the color you finish with on your loom will become the top of your hat and NOT the rim. If you end up making the hat too large just roll it and have a brim! Enjoy!!!
