The Main Character Scarf is a fingering weight scarf that I designed with the intention of showcasing a set of hand dyed mini skeins from my stash. Between all the colors and the unique shape, this scarf is a bit of a statement piece. This is where the name comes from, as it might just be the main character of your outfit!

The scarf is worked in two identical panels that are seamed together, and is finished off with tassels on each end. It’s designed to use one main color, and seven contrasting colors, but can be worked up in any number of colors! Get creative with colors and dive into your minis or scraps for this one.

Pattern details

I consider this an intermediate level pattern because you will use techniques and skills such as gauge swatching, blocking, changing colors, and magic circle. While I would consider this an intermediate level pattern, any level maker could likely make this project if they are willing to learn the necessary skills/techniques.

Gauge instructions are provided in the pattern. The printable PDF pattern also includes a row and stitch count chart to help with progress tracking.
