Product Details

A lightweight textured scarf, designed in honour of my favourite literary wizard, Gandalf the Grey.

"He had a tall pointed blue hat, a long grey cloak, a silver scarf over which a white beard hung down below his waist, and immense black boots." — J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit, "An Unexpected Party"

The flowing and crossing columns of stitches represent a journey‘s roads, rivers, and forests, and Gandalf’s rune is tucked unobtrusively into one corner. Instead of cables, left- and right-leaning decreases create the textured pattern. The corresponding yarn-over ‘holes’ are twisted shut on the wrong-side rows, so the result is a non-lacy kind of lace knitting.

Materials: 900 yards of laceweight yarn. I used less than one skein of Vintage Purls Lace, a two-ply merino yarn, in a semi-solid grey. Fingering-weight yarn would also work well, with larger needles.

My scarf measures 200cm x 30cm. Instructions are included for customising the length and width. Pattern is for personal use only.
