Harry Potter - Luna Lovegood Scarf - My Take - PATTERN ADDED!

[pinkleo]

I made this Luna scarf for a Harry Potter swap.  
I couldn't find a pattern I liked so I made up my own.  
  PATTERN ADDED BELOW!

Here is my version

My Luna Scarf Pattern
(Do not use for profit and do not sell this pattern; it is for personal use only.  Thanks!)

Materials: F hook, 1-1/2 skeins Red Heart Soft Yarn

Note: ch3=dc, shell=5dc, half-shell=3dc, picot=ch3, slst in first ch

Pattern:

Chain 383 (this is where I could have made error, but you'll find out quick if wrong because the pattern should work out evenly) June 16, 2008: I have worked pattern many times and 383 is correct; for those claiming otherwise, make sure you are dc in 5th chain in Row 1.  

Row 1: Dc in 5th ch from hook.  (ch1, skip ch, dc in next ch) Repeat () until end,

Row 2: ch3, turn, work 2dc in first dc, (ch4, skip 4dc, in next dc work 5dc), Repeat () until last dc, in last dc work 3dc

Repeat Row 2 two more times
::::NOTE::::You will be working pattern as in Row 2 but the shell (5dc) is worked in the 3rd dc of bottom row shell (or another way, instead of just skipping 4dc, you will be skipping 2dc, 4ch, and 2dc before working shell...how that clears things up)

Row 5: ch1, turn, sc across (sc in every dc and ch)

Row 6: picot, (sc in next 7 sc, picot), Repeat () until last 7sc, in last 7sc work 6sc then picot, slst into last sc.  Finish Off.

Join yarn to other side of beginning ch, Repeat Rows 1-6 on other side

Weave in ends, and you are done.

Please post pics of your finished scaves. If you are on ravelry, please post a pic there as well.  I am sure that a lighter weight yarn would give the scarf the thinner weight like in the movie shot, but I think this version worked out quite well.  Now I need to make myself one!

You've got tons of talent to come up with something that pretty on your own.

Wow! I am so impressed that, using only a photo as a guide, you could come up with a pattern that looks so close to the original. You did a wonderful job!
