Hallgrim Scarf
The Hallgrímskirkja in Reykjavík, Iceland, served as the stunning inspiration behind Charles Gandy’s Hallgrim Hat and Mittens collection. His exquisite design ignited my creativity, prompting me to craft a coordinating scarf that beautifully complements the original pieces. When I publicly responded to requests for the pattern by stating that the design motif wasn’t mine to share, I was thrilled when Charles graciously offered his permission for me to publish my Hallgrim Scarf design!
This scarf is not just a project; it is a celebration of the romantic, simple, and flowing lines that are characteristic of its design. The Hallgrim Scarf hints at the influential Styles of the Arts and Crafts Movement and the Prairie School, infused with a whimsical touch reminiscent of Lothlórien from J.R.R. Tolkien’s beloved Middle-earth. Featuring elegant cable motifs at each end, which are connected by a luxurious length of ribbing, this scarf can be crafted to any desired length, making it a versatile addition to your handmade wardrobe. If you have a passion for working with 1x1 cables and are comfortable knitting and purling through the back loop, it’s the perfect time to grab your needles and cast on!

• 1x1 cables for intricate texture
