Amy's Woven Scarf

Amy's Woven Scarf

This is another weaving project that I just finished. A Red, Blue and Black woven scarf for my daughter Amy in her favorite colors. The Caron Simply Soft weaves beautifully and it's wash and dry in the machines!

Yarns used:
Caron Simply Soft Harvest Red 9763 H9003  2 skeins

I used these yarns for both the warp and weft

Length of warp 125 inches
Warp ends 70        7.5  Reed
35 warp ends each side of center. 
Fringe 4 inches

Warping starting on left as you face the loom:
 6 red, 4 blue, 6 red, 2 black, 2 red, 2 black, 32 red, 4 black, 2 blue, 4 black, 6 red.

Pick up Stick pattern:
over 6, under 1 across
   rows 1 to 7 plain weave
   row 8  Heddle in natural, stick forward and on edge, weave one row, push stick back

Hemstitch bottom after about 10 to 15 rows.

Steps:

Then work steps 1 and 2 again. Then step 1. Hemstitch and remove from loom. Tie fringe in groups of 3 or 4 on both ends. Trim to 4 inches.
