This scarf is based on the design of the Mark VI Monorail System used at the Walt Disney Resort. The Walt Disney World Monorail System transports guests from the Transportation and Ticket Center to either Magic Kingdom Park, Epcot, or any of the Resorts around the Seven Seas Lagoon. The sample scarf was made using Destination Yarn’s First Class Silk in the colors Cinderella’s Castle and Spaceship Earth, paralleling the linking of the two Parks represented by the Mark VI Monorail.

This scarf will use 600 yards of each of two colors (1200 yards total) if knit as shown. The pattern includes an optional modification to shorten the scarf to match the design of the Mark V Monorail formerly used at Disneyland Resort in California. The Mark V Monorail modification will use 400 yards of each of two colors (800 yards total).

This scarf has been designed to be knit using the double knitting technique to produce a truly reversible scarf. Instructions and links to videos are provided in the pattern on the basics of double knitting.


This pattern was originally published as part of a fundraiser for the National Hemophilia Foundation. My son has severe hemophilia b and this organization has helped him through some very tough times in the past. Local chapters for NHF provide free educational resources for families and individuals who have all forms of bleeding disorders. They also provide financial support in the form of grants or direct donations so that members in the community can have access to the medications they need in order to control their bleeding disorder.

Since this pattern is now being offered for free, I would ask that if you enjoyed the pattern to please donate to your local NHF chapter on my behalf. Any donation is greatly appreciated by your local bleeding disorders community.
