NOTES:
1. The instructions provided in the loom manual for casting on are the same for both flat knitting and knitting in the round (when you make a tube). These instructions are listed under the heading of SINGLE KNITTING.
2. Once you've cast on for the Scarf, begin working back and forth for single knitting.
3. Loom is configured into a rectangle to make the loom easier to hold. The Scarf is knit flat on only one side of the loom.
4. Scarf is designed with a Garter stitch (knit one row, purl one row) border on each of the sides. The first and last 2 rows of the Scarf are worked in Garter stitch and the first and last 2 stitches of each row are worked in Garter stitch.
5. The lacy pattern in this Scarf is created by knitting 2 stitches together, followed by a yarn over. The yarn over will create a decorative eyelet in your knitting.

Loom Knit Lacy Scarf Reviewed by Josee M on 2012-02-24
I'm new to Loom Knitting (since Nov 2011). I've tried doing the scarf with a 24 pegs but I get one side that has 2 vertical rows of GS and one that has 3 vertical rows of GS (Garter Stitches).
Along the way, I've learned how to do K2TOG and YO, but it's practically impossible to do (unless I'm really "dyslexknit" challenged. So I've done it with a Dyslexic K2TOG and YO and it works.
Furthermore, after frogging my work a few times with some cheap yarn, I tried 3 different "knit" stitches and the results are better with the "flat knit stitch" tutorial on your YouTube channel.
Anyhow, I will send a photo as soon as I'm done with the scarf project.
Enjoying the challenge, as the result is worth the trials and errors. :)
