Top Comments of this video!! :3
VERY well done! Back ground music was not obnoxious and was IN the background. Directions were clear and easy to uncerstand. Close up shots added a great deal. I am 75 yr old, retired clergyman, Bought a loom for my granddaughter, watched your videos and went out and got a loom set for me. Learning a new skill is diccicult at my age...but your videos make it much easier. Thank you!

Thanks for the video. I read through the comments and wa ted to leave my own that may help others.
The yarn size you need is either:
2 strands of 4 (worsted weight)
1 strand of 5+ (bulky)
If you dont know how to crochet just use a slip knot to get started. The cast off is a double crochet. You can actually take your crochet hook and push it through while on the peg and then take it off and repeat. If you don't know how to crochet this is hard. You, can find any scarf video that uses a loom cast off and it will be easier to finish.
I used a number 8mm crochet hook for my cast off to go with my number 6 super bulky yarn. If your hook is to small or big it won't look right. It depends in your yarn size.
You need more than a couple inches to cast off. At a minimum you need 24inches to 36 inches.
Don't tie and snip leave 2 to 3 inches and weave your ends in.
For a toddler or small child you need at least 144 yds of yarn. Approx 2 balls
Teenager, or small/short women - 231 yds or approx 3 balls
Tall man or heavy set person (or you want a long scarf) approx 304. yds or 4 balls of yarn
If your cast off looks odd you can easily hide it with fringe/tasles (not my preference).
Thanks for the great video. It was slow and easy to follow.
