This was tough at first...the easiest way to get the yarn through the straw is to put a small amt in and then suck on the straw until the yarn comes to the end!

Do you think that this technique could be applied to a pair of socks? I can't knit for my life but I really like this whole weaving thing. Any help would be great!

Finally got around to uploading a photo. Thanks for the instructions!

[PotterPrincess]

What house scarf is that ? Or is it just a homeade one ? xx

[hammer9876]

Gee. I didn't know I was completely limited to the colors of the houses from the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Bandersnatch House! Colors teal, purple and vermillion.

just wanted to ask... when you pushed the yarn off onto the straws, did it seem to "unravel" a bit?
'cause that's what mine did, and i'm not sure how to fix it D:

[ninjapickles]

im going to go buy green and silver yarn for a ravenclaw one now :)

[PotterPrincess]

Actully, Ravenclaw is BLUE and silver ! Sorry i'm a bit of a Harry Potter fan xxx.

[I am Lord Voldemort]

I just wanted to say, Slytherin is green and silver not Ravenclaw :)

[ninjapickles]

Agh, wht was I thinking? Of course. I feel stupid now. Well, I gt my slytherin scarf done (with grey and green :D) and am workIng on a ravenclaw one for
My BFF now :)

[CamillaLuvzMusic]

"UNDER OVER UNDER OVER UNDER OVER BAAAACK" XD best explanation yet xDDD

[Nagini1025]

I dont get what to do when the scarf gets too long for the straws...

[glien]

just slide the part you wove onto the yarn. it will slide right on!!!

[kiwi16877]

I got really confused............ so i knitted it instead.

[star_empyre]

i'm trying to make this scarf, and am using slightly larger McDonald's straws, so when i push the yarn off the straws, they seem to unravel a bit?
... is that supposed to happen?

if not, could you tell me how to make it properly? XD

[JujubeanO]

It's essentially a basic weave...
I had weaving kit when I was younger and I made scarves with it all the time... sad I donated it ....

[emychan]

Wait. I might sound stupid but, do you weave toward the taped side or away from it?

[tamalf]

THIS IS AWESOME!!! Im totally making a gryffindor one right now. i took a break to type this...lol LOVE IT!!! Great Job!

[globogym]

could you possibly make this on a larger scale like a sweater?

[asiabreen]

I already know how to knit, but i must say, this looks really fun. And you did a good job of explaining things. Slytherin scarf, here I come. :)

[Nagini1025]

I kind of think so, it seems like you would.

[mudge98]

OH MY GOSH! SO MUCH EASIER THEN KNITTING! Although it is the summer, ravenclaw scarf, here i come!

[tksanders3]

while weaving mine i ran into the problem of the straws bending and crushing just from repitition. then they end up all flimsy like when you chew on your drinking straw. Just in case anyone else ends up with this problem you can fix it by pulling the broken straw out of the knitted part and removing the tape. then replacing the straw and tape. then pull the individual strand of yarn from the other end to tighten it up a little. then continue weaving. you'll be able to even the straws up next time you advance them.

[klemci]

nicely done instr. its so much easier than learning to knit.
I wonder if the scarf becomes uneven after a while or if its streched to much?

[driesyo]

my moter made 1 when i was 7 i wanted 1
p.s. nice 1

[Partex]

 How do you change sections?  I didn't get that part of this instructable but otherwise it was really awesome.

[hawkfrost64]

oh. my.GRYFFINDOR! this is awesome! 

[EncasedDeath]

very cool

[whscameragal]

i like how it doesnt look knitted can you say hufflepuff?

[Hannah Belle Lectre]

Neat! You've essentially made a scarf out of a makeshift loom. I did some loom work in art school, and it was fun; but I never had the idea to make a scarf--you could do all kinds of experimental tapestry work with this technique.

[Ceris]

It looks really cool, but I still think it would be easier to just learn how to knit :P. I know that seems like an imense task to some people but really, if I can do it, anyone can.

[SomethingIDeserve]

I think you mean add 7 more, or 5 more. Because if you include the original, you'll end up with an odd number, not an even.
