Unraveling the Mystery of the Harry Potter Scarf!


I have been looking everywhere for a Harry Potter Scarf pattern for my KK's. I did find one on the yahoo KK discussion board, but when I got to start making it, I started thinking that this couldn't be right. So I got looking online for a picture from the Movie of the characters with their scarves. I did find a good picture, so I'm posting it. With the picture plus the help of the pattern I had, I came up with this variation. I"m using a 2 over 1 method with a single strand of Red Heart Super Saver in Claret and Gold for a Gryffindor Scarf.

Knit 30 rows first color,3 rows second color, 5 rows first color, 3 rows second color, and repeat from beginning. Knit to desired length (This is a long scarf so I'm estimating 1 1/2 times the child's height would be good-just use a measuring tape.) and end with 30 rows of the dark.

Colors: Gryffindor: Dark Red(Burgundy,scarlet) and Gold
Hufflepuff: Yellow and Black (for this House the light is the predominant(majority) color; the others are dark as primary color. Therefore it would look mostly yellow with little black stripes.)
Ravenclaw: Dark Blue and Bronze (book) or Blue and Silver (movie)
Slytherin: Dark Green and Silver

My thanks to the ladies to have posted attempts to decode the mystery before me. I hope my nephews will love this as much as I do! I'm debating making one for myself as well...
Until next time.......... Constant Vigilance!
