New Scarf for me

 My Woven Scarf

                             

                        The picture above is before I cut the fringe. 

                         Finished length 72 inches and 7 inches wide

I decided I wanted to make a new woven scarf for me.  I have made them for most of my family and now I want one for myself. I am using about 2 balls of Lion brand Mandala in Wood Nymph.   It's has wonderful 

shades of light rose, rose, lavender, a brownish rose, and cream. It's an acrylic yarn, machine wash and dry, and very easy to weave with and I have used it before.

I wanted the scarf to be about 7 ½ inches wide and 75 inches long with added 4 inch fringe at each end. So I needed 64 warp ends each 116 inches long.  I am using a 7.5 dent reed. This is a pick up stick pattern that I am using, 2 up, 2 down.

I marked the center of my reed and measured from the center out on each side 3 ¼ inches, and counted to make sure I had 64 slots and holes. I tied a string in the center and one at each end for the width of 7 ½ inches. I then started warping from the left and worked my way to the right side. I checked to make sure my warping peg stayed at the 116 inches away from the back beam of the loom. 

                                                                Picture A

The picture of the reed above with strings attached is from another scarf I made but I wanted you to see how I marked it.

The picture below shows the pickup stick weave I am using and the rows between them.  Using a pick up stick and Heddle in the down position, start from the right side of the loom and pick under 2 warp ends and over 2 warp ends across the warp behind the heddle. Push stick to back. 

Picture B 

1. weave about 10 to 15 rows with a waste yarn, or use cardboard sticks to open up the warp threads and separate them, this warp yarn will be your fringe when you are done.  Separating and opening them up them makes it easier to weave.  See picture C below.

                                                Picture C 
This is from a scarf I did for my granddaughter but you can see what I mean.

1. Leaving a tail of about 3 times the width loom ( this long tail will be used to do a hem stitch after weaving 10 rows.)  I use a tape measure to keep track of my weaving so I know how long it is. You can see it on the picture B.   Make sure your shuttle is on the left to start weaving. This weaving pattern starts on the left, so make sure your shuttle is on the left after weaving the 10 plain rows, if it's not, weave one more row. Shuttle on left side. 

2. Now do the hemstitch across the loom at the start of the weaving, if the end of the yarn is too long after the hemstitching, cut it off but leave at least 10 inches to tie into the fringe later. 


3. Now start pattern as follows: 
Note:  When you weave row 7, the yarn is under the warp ends on the right. ( Picture D ) On row 8, watch the edge stitch on the right, you must weave over it to make the pattern come out right. 

( Picture E below.)  I just pick it up with my fingers, held it and weave over it to the left. 

   

            Picture D                            Picture E

This is row 7 with yarn ending under the warp       to weave row 8 pick up edge warp end
       
Row:                                Heddle Position

1                                           Up  (weave to the right)
2                                  N and pick up stick forward and on it's side                                               (weave to left)
3                                          Up  (weave to right)
4                              N and pick up stick forward and on it's side                                                         (weave to left)
5                                         Up  (weave to right)
6                                             down ( weave to left)
7                                  up and pick up stick forward and flat
                                       ( weave    to right)
8                                down and WEAVE OVER THE FIRST EDGE STITCH                                                                        (weave to left)
9                                  up and pick up stick forward and flat 
                                             ( weave  to right)
10                              down and WEAVE OVER THE FIRST EDGE STITCH                                                                        (weave to left)

                                                 Picture F
The picture above shows the Pick up stick pattern.

Now repeat these 10 rows for a total of 4 times, then 
rows 1 to 4 once.
Now weave 10 rows of plain, ending again on the left side of the loom.

Weave these rows until you are almost to 65 inches. Then weave the full the pattern one more time and end with 10 rows of plain weave. Then finish will a hem stitch and remove from loom but make sure you leave about as much fringe as you can a good 6 inches and tie off the fringe at each end with about 4 to 5 threads each. Do an over hand knot and move it as close as you can to the end of the scarf.  Wash, lay flat to dry. After it's dry, weave in the lose ends and cut the fringe to 4 inches. I love this yarn because after you finished it, you can just toss it in the washer and them the dryer.

then

Row 1: K 1, P 1, K 1

Row 2: P 1, K 1, P 1.

Repeat rows 1 and 2 once more. Bind off, weave in the yarn ends.
