Beorn Cowl and Scarf (Worsted)
Introducing the Beorn Knitting Pattern, inspired by the legendary Northman and shape-shifter from fantasy lore. Beorn, known for his remarkable ability to transform between a towering man and a fierce bear, serves as the perfect muse for this unique knitting project. Having endured captivity at the hands of Azog The Defiler, Beorn wears a chain on his wrist as a poignant reminder of his past struggles. This pattern embodies both strength and resilience, making it an excellent choice for adventurous knitters looking to create a meaningful piece.
This project features a slightly more complex cable design than a simple crossover, offering a rewarding challenge for knitters looking to enhance their skills. Once completed and blocked, the finished piece showcases an impressive 27” circumference and a depth of 8.5”, making it a statement accessory. The accompanying scarf measures a generous 60” in length with a width of 8.5”, providing versatility for both styling and warmth.
Yarn: The Beorn pattern requires Patons Classic Wool, which is 100% wool and comes in 233 yards per 100 grams. This quality yarn not only enhances the texture of your work but also adds durability, ensuring your creation will stand the test of time.
Needles: For this project, you will need size 9 US (5.50 mm) needles or the size needed to achieve the correct gauge. While gauge is not critical for this pattern, it can significantly affect the overall quantity of yarn used, so it’s important to accommodate this in your planning.
Gauge: The recommended gauge is 16 stitches and 20 rows per 4” in stockinette stitch. Achieving this gauge will help ensure your project turns out just as intended, with the perfect fit and drape.
