Free Pattern- HP BookScarf in Double Knit
As promised, the Harry Potter love...
The very generous Laura was kind enough to grant permission for me to post this variation of her brilliant Harry Potter Bookscarf. When I saw the pattern, I thought "Aha! Here would be a great place to use my new best friend Double Knit". (Yes, I do make lame exclamations in my head- moving on)
The original pattern is worked in the round with very fine yarn; while beautiful, I'm just lazier than that. With double knit it can be worked flat and still have Stockinette Stitch on both sides, no seaming and nothing more complicated than slipped and knit stitches. Made up in Red Heart Sport weight yarn it whips up even faster (and cheap too!).
Fill the void between books and movies with the pattern over here.

Very cute. I think everyone talks to themselves in their heads like that. Even if they say they don't outloud. hehe, I sure do anyway.

That's so cute. My nephews will love it, so I'd better get the needles going.

thanks for doing this! i did the other pattern using DMC floss and doing it in the round. Double knit sounds like a lot more fun! :)
