My Harry Potter fan just HAD to have a
Gryffindor scarf. Here is the finished project and
simple directions/materials for you to make your own.
I used Red Heart Super Saver 7 oz skeins (as they were on sale for $1.99) in the following colors:
Claret & Gold. You may use whatever colors or 4 ply yarn you wish with this pattern.
I will post pix/pattern for hat as soon as I can find time to make one.
Knit Harry Potter Scarf Pattern:
US size 7 double point needles
1 Crochet hook size J or thereabouts for affixing fringe when done
4 ply worsted weight yarn in 2 colors approx 4 oz each color, or 7 oz of each if you wish to make matching hats/mittens to accompany your scarf.
Gauge 5 stitches = approx 1" in width.
15 rows = approx 1 1/2 inches in length
Finished dimensions: 4" wide X 56" long (plus fringe)
Final materials cost: $3.98 plus tax! I even have yarn enough left for a hat and mittens!
Start w/ darker color (claret.) Cast on 40 stitches, join and work in the round.
Work 20 rows and change color to gold. Continue 20 rows in each color block. I made a total of 19 sections. Cast off. I used a 3 needle cast off so I had a finished edge. You can find directions to do that here: http://www.knitpicks.com/content/index.php/cat/binding-off/
Sew Cast on side neatly together.
Optional: fringe. I used a 12 inch ruler and wound yarn around 5 times total and then made 5 fringes per side. 3 of the dark (both ends and middle) and 2 of the lighter color in between.
You can find how to for fringe here: http://www.ehow.com/how_14822_knit-scarf.html
Tips: Always start and end in the darker color. You can make your color blocks larger or smaller and scarf wider or narrower if you prefer. This was sized this for a 10 year old.
Pattern is offered free for all to enjoy.
So, please no reselling of this pattern.
Happy knitting!
