Notes From the Designer:

Ancient Indo-Europeans witnessed spectacular, awe-inspiring events in the heavens – powerful storms, dazzling meteor showers, and the ever-constant uncountable stars. It’s no wonder they believed the sky to be the embodiment of a strong deity, one who makes an appearance in almost every Indo-European pantheon (think Thor, Zeus, Dyaus Pita, Perkunas). The “Sky-Father” scarf pays homage to these ideas of cosmic strength with the striking lightning bolt cables. The zig-zag pattern moves across the body of the scarf, creating an eye-catching texture akin to lightning dancing across the sky. The wearer will always carry the powers of the sky wherever they sport this gorgeous scarf.

This scarf is a perfect companion to the “Earth-Mother” scarf.

  • Gauge is important to this project, so please take the time to make a gauge swatch to ensure your gauge matches the designer’s gauge.
  • All odd-numbered rows are the RS; all even-numbered rows are the WS.
  • Post stitches (FPdc, FPvst, FPdc2tog) are worked on the RS only.
  • Except for Row 5, all post stitches are worked around the next unworked post stitch 2 rows below.
  • Remember that all post stitches will have a skipped stitch behind them.
  • Chart can be found on page 7 of pattern.
