Scarves For Angie's Choir

Here are the scarves that Jacob makes and tries to sell.  They look better on girls but since I don't have any little girls, he had to be the model.  Anyway,  They are not too bulky and fit well on little girls for dress up.  They are easy to make and Jacob sells them for $10 dollars each if anyone would rather buy them instead of make them.  It is best to get yarn that is fuzzy or fluffy and it makes a fuller looking scarf. 
Here is a red and white one that he made.  We got the wool from the dollar store and doubled red with white to give it more body.

Here is a very fuzzy kind of colourful yarn that made for a very dressy style scarf.

Here is how you start.
Next step is to put this slip loop over your pointing finger.

Now, start weaving it back and forth between your fingers

And back the other way again.
Do it again so that you have two loops on each finger.

Now pull the bottom loop up and over the top of the finger. You may have to bend your finger down to get it through.


Next wrap another round of string around the fingers (weaving yarn through fingers and back again makes one set of loops.)
 lift the bottom loop over the top of the fingers and carry on in this fashion until you have a scarf that is one and a half yards long. Then tie it off by threading the string through the loops and tying a small not.  

This is done with non-fluffy yard for demonstration purposes but it only takes a minute or two to see the speedy results of you not-so-hard labour.
