This pattern is something I came up with after watching Studio Knit’s video on YouTube describing how to knit a Harry Potter Scarf. I must give credit to Kristen of Studio knit for the idea of 80 stitches per row on size 6 16” circular needles, for using the color gold, and for the method of measuring and using the tassels to tie off the ends of the scarf. This was my first project when I learned how to knit, and my first post to Ravelry! Let’s get started!

MATERIALS

  • Needles used: US size 6 circular needles, 16” in length (I used Clover by Takumi wooden needles)

  • Yarn used: Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice color “Burgundy” x4 skeins Lion Brand Wool-Ease color “Gold” x1 skein

  • Additional helpful tools: Tapestry needle or crochet hook for finishing

The finished scarf measures approximately 71” long (excluding tassels on the end) and 7” wide, and it is VERY warm since it is double thick. My wife and I live in Indianapolis, and we have recently had a bout of weather where the high temperature for the day was 15 degrees, and my wife was happy to report that the scarf kept her warm on her walk from her car her office each day.

If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to send me a message and I will clarify anything you need. Enjoy!
