Scythian Scarf

This beautifully designed scarf features intricate motifs inspired by ancient Scythian gold artifacts. With captivating designs including a fierce lion, a majestic griffin, and an elegant triple horse head, this scarf makes a stunning addition to any wardrobe. Perfect for knitters looking to showcase their skills, each stitch tells a story rooted in history and artistry.

This scarf pattern requires 2 skeins of lace-weight yarn, using one light color and one dark color to create a striking contrast. Our sample used approximately 700 yards (640 meters) of each color and spans about 57 inches in length. If you prefer a longer scarf, consider eliminating the 3-stitch garter edging, which will slightly reduce yarn consumption while still providing a beautiful finish.

The pattern is primarily chart-based, offering two sets of charts: one for stranded knitting and another for double-knitting techniques. This versatility ensures that knitters of varying skill levels can successfully create this eye-catching accessory. Whether you're looking to enhance your own collection or gift a unique, handmade item to a loved one, this Scythian-inspired scarf pattern is sure to impress.
