Long Time Coming: The Eras Scarf | Maxi Oversized Scarf Knitting Pattern | Taylor Swift Knitting Pattern | Beginner Knitting Pattern | Digital Download


The Eras Tour may be over, but your knitting era is just beginning…

Introducing Long Time Coming: The Eras Scarf, a beginner-friendly knitting pattern that celebrates Taylor Swift’s iconic albums. Knit in 11 stunning shades—each representing a different era—this oversized maxi scarf is as timeless and cosy as the music that inspired it.

Are you ready for it?

Knitting this scarf will take you on a journey through Taylor Swift’s entire discography. From the nostalgic charm of her debut album to the emotional depth of TTPD, you’ll stitch your way through every era—one colour at a time.

Whether you’re curled up on the couch or knitting on the go, this pattern is the perfect excuse to relive your favourite songs, lyrics and memories. Queue up her albums, press play and let each era soundtrack your project.


Why you’ll love it:
Simple knits never go out of style. Whether you’re a Swiftie picking up needles for the first time, or a knitter looking for a soothing project, Long Time Coming: The Eras Scarf is as easy as it is enjoyable.

Knit in the round, this pattern creates a plush double-layered tube scarf. This construction means there’s no wrong side—just seamless warmth, vibrant colours and a cosy texture.

It’s the kind of pattern I was searching for when I first started knitting: beginner-friendly, fun and easy to follow. From casting on to seaming, the detailed instructions guide you through the pattern step-by-step, complete with photos and links to helpful videos.
