Skyrim Scarf
Description
Calling all Skyrim lovers! This scarf is inspired by all of the Skyrim holds. The front of the scarf features the nine holds of Skyrim plus the main Skyrim logo. The back of the neck features another version of the Skyrim logo, and when wrapped around your neck the logo is a prominent feature of the scarf. The back of the scarf is worked entirely in a dragon scale pattern. This scarf can be worn in a variety of ways to highlight different aspects. Even if you aren’t a big scarf wearer, this would look great hanging in a game room for decoration.
This Skyrim-inspired scarf is a great project for intermediate to advanced knitters, but adventurous beginners are also welcome to try it out. Since the scarf is knit entirely in stranded colorwork, and because it is not a simple repeating design, it is not a “mindless knit.” With that said, if you are able to read a colorwork chart and knit in the round, then this scarf is a totally achievable project. Take it one round at a time and you’ll do fine.
I had a lot of fun designing this scarf for my husband who loves Skyrim. I hope it brings you or a Skyrim lover in your life lots of joy too.
