Experience the magic of turning lead into gold using the Philosopher’s stone! In times gone by, alchemists believed that a substance known as the Philosopher’s stone could be used to turn lead into gold. The symbols for lead, the Philosopher’s stone, and Gold are worked with a metallic yarn held together with the base yarn in a faux-intarsia technique on garter stitch in this unisex scarf pattern. Graduate from gray wool through to a gold silk blend in simple stripes as you perform the magic of alchemy!
