You warp lenth is 86 inches for this scarf. I like to do a header with
8 rows of waste yarn to close the "V".
3. Tie yarn to back tie bar and warp starting at left side of loom were
your marker is and warp across the heddle to the last marker. Be sure to
watch the video.
4. Start weaving and use a tape measure to mark your length and weave until
the scarf measures 25 inches long, then divide for the spilt in the center
by weaving across half your warp, and cut yarn leaving a 4 or 5 inch tail in the center
Start weaving on the remaining warp, but again leave a 4 or 5 inch tail (center only ),
work this way until the slot is 4 inches long. Every 4th row tie the center ends with an over
hand knot on each side of the slot like the picture above.
Then start weaving the full width of your warp again. Weave until your scarf is 62 inches long.
Be sure and weave in your yarn ends. Remove from loom. Tie a knot of 4 to 6 threads very close
to the woven scarf ends for fringe, and trim to 4 inches long. Wet finish your scarf.
