Zoom Loom Zigzag Scarf

By Denise Renee Grace


This simple scarf—suitable for a first-time Zoom Loom weaver—uses sportweight wool. This type of yarn is a good choice for a first project because of its elasticity and weight. The finished scarf measures 7.5" wide x 65" long.

What You'll Need

  • Brown Sheep Nature Spun Sport, 1 skein each of Bougainvillea, Lemongrass, Turquoise Wonder, and Snow. You’ll need 80 yards of the first three colors and small amounts of Snow to stitch squares together.

  • Zoom Loom

Directions

  1. Weave 30 squares—10 each of Bougainvillea, Lemongrass, and Turquoise Wonder. Sew in all tails.

  2. Sew squares together in pairs, using Snow:
    5 sets of Lemongrass and Bougainvillea
    5 sets of Turquoise Wonder and Lemongrass
    5 sets of Bougainvillea and Turquoise Wonder

    Sew pairs together as shown in the diagram, offsetting the pairs by half a square. Arrange pairs in any order you wish or follow the sequence shown here.

  3. Gently hand wash the scarf in warm water and a small amount of soap, agitating to lightly full. Rinse and lay flat to dry. Steam press as needed.
