The Commedia Scarf was inspired by my love for Prince Poppycock. If you didn’t see him on America’s Got Talent, you missed out on a creative genius. He is very influenced by commedia dell’arte, an Italian theatrical style known for mime and farce. It was too good to resist.

The pattern is written so that you can use two different weights of yarn—lace to DK weight yarn, and (Worsted to Bulky weight). The multi-colored bulky weight sample shown in this pattern is made from Artful Yarns Portrait, which has been discontinued, so I included a comparable yarn still in production.
