My 81-year old mother hates to wear knit hats in the winter because it “messes up” her hair. So I created this simple Head Scarf that she can wear from her car into the grocery store to keep her head and ears nice and warm. She can then stuff it into her purse or coat pocket once she’s indoors.

The Hat Scarf is loomed on the All-N-One loom. The i-cord tie is single-knit first and then you move right into double-knitting the scarf body. You then go back to single-knitting to finish off with the second i-cord tie. The pattern completely explains every step and includes diagrams and picture tutorials.

The sample was knit using approximately 220 yards of Knit Picks Kelbourne Germantown 100% wool yarn #4-worsted in the Peacock colorway. The wool yarn makes the Head Scarf light-weight, but very warm.

Because of the increases and decreases, the single- and double-knitting, this pattern is suitable for an intermediate loom knitter.
