For accessibility you may purchase this pattern book in my etsy shop or Payhip shop. On a Wing has fabric that is two sided, with a different pattern on each side. On the back side you will see slipped stitches, which create a pretty honeycomb texture as the fabric grows. The colors appear in horizontal rows on this side. On the front side the two colors appear in vertical rows with lots of nice texture. A heavier yarn will show off well in this pattern.

The eight patterns in this collection all have the same basic underlying pennant construction, or more simply put, a long triangle shape. The patterns are all flexible. You may choose the loom size, the loom gauge, the yarn weight and the size you would like to make your scarf. Options are included to make smaller cowl sized scarves or larger shawls.

The eight patterns each have a unique stitch, ranging from simple garter stitch for easy, breezy knitting to wonderful textured stitches, slip, lace and tuck stitches.

A little scarf may be made on a large hat loom. Here are the options (peg counts) for each gauge:

¾ inch: 40, 41 or 42 pegs
5/8 inch: 48, 50, 51 or 54 pegs
½ inch: 60 or 66 pegs
3/8 inch small: 72, 80 or 82 pegs
3/8 inch fine: 90 pegs
