Finished: Figure Eight Scarf
I knitted this scarf on the blue Knifty Knitter loom using 20 pegs and the figure eight stitch, which kind of looks like crochet. The yarn is a very pretty 70% acrylic/30% wool by Universal Yarn (Urban Transit):

I realized I never posted a photo of my ziggy zag scarf even though I finished it last spring. I’ve been wearing it a lot this fall, and it’s just the right weight for not-so-cold days. I’d like to make a matching headband with the same yarn, but since it’s a little bit scratchy, I’m not sure if I’d like it.
I posted instructions on the ziggy zag stitch earlier. The scarf is about 55″ long. It curls a lot, but I don’t think blocking it will help because it only has a small amount of wool.
Final thoughts: cool pattern, nice color, but it curls in everywhere but the ends. I’m please because this was my first fancy item, but I’d choose a different yarn and probably do a border along each edge the entire scarf.
