When I set out to design a scarf for a Star Wars fan who can recite every line from the original trilogy I knew it had to be a little… extra. Measuring 253.8 inches or 21.15 feet and using over 2,000 yards of yarn, the The Original Trilogy Kinda Guy (OTKG) Star Wars Double Knit Scarf definitely fits the bill.

(Never fear! This pattern was designed to make it easy to include only the parts you choose in your version if you’re not up for tackling the entire project.)

Beyond the iconic images of Chewbacca, the partially completed second Death Star, an adorable Ewok and many more, this pattern includes several nerdy features that only a true Star Wars fan will appreciate.

  • “JOIN THE DARK SIDE” is readable only from the dark side of the scarf
  • “MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU” is readable only from the light side.
  • The entire scarf is a bit asymmetrical and the spaces between images are not all the same size. This is a nod to George Lucas being the first to create futuristic technology that isn’t perfect, shiny and clean.
  • The spaces between the images on the dark side are much larger than on the light side as a nod to the Coruscant’s richest inhabitants showing their wealth with negative space.

If you are looking for a project for the ultimate Star Wars fan in your life, you’ve found it!
