Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince: Hermione's Fair Isle Scarf

Months ago I promised that I was working on the pattern for Hermione's Fair Isle Scarf to go with her Cable & Eyelet Hat. It's high time I deliver, huh? After seeing the movie, it appears that there may be a couple more patterns in the scarf before it repeats, but I don't have a photo to go from. If anyone does, please send it to me so I can work up a better chart!!

Here's a bit of the sample. In the move, my camera batter charger was lost, but I will update with a better picture soon!



And the chart. The pattern is a 12 stitch repeat. If you do this in a tube, you'll need to cast on a multiple of 12. In my sample, I cast on 84 on US6 16" circular needles and joined in the round. I used all Paton's Classic worsted weight yarns except for the green which is Nature Spun in Grecian Olive. Instead of using movie-appropriate colors, I just used what I had on hand, so feel free to use whatever you like! Click on the chart for a larger view.

  1. If I were up to Fair Isle, I'd get it in a hear beat because I love my Hermoine hat. When I saw the movie, I squealed when I saw the hat!

  3. Thanks for posting the pattern! I'd tentatively started to work out the fair isle chart myself, but could only get some of it - now I can't wait to start knitting!

  5. Do you know how much of each yarn you need for the scarf! Approximately even? I'm looking to start on the scarf but I have no idea how much to get of each colour. Thank you for posting!
