I'm pleased to share this pattern with everyone.  The inspiration for the scarf came directly from my son. He had been wanting a scarf all his own after watching me knit them for myself and others. I looked all over for a fun kid's scarf pattern...but such a thing just really didn't exist. This scarf, as knit, fits a 3 year old. You can adjust the length of the body to fit anyone in your family. I wanted the scarf to be comfortable, warm, and fun, yet practical. All of the features on the face are kid-safe. They are all sewn on with yarn or thread. There are no buttons or beads to fall off.

I would rate this project Intermediate-Advanced. The knitting itself isn't too hard...but there are lots of steps. I included extra photos in the pattern. I can post more here if more clarification is needed. I look forward to seeing everyone's interpretation of the pattern. This is my first design. It has been proofread by a professional knitting designer, but mistakes can happen. Please let me know if you find errors in the pattern, or something that could be improved or simplified.  Click on the following link to download the .pdf file  Fiery Dragon Scarf Pattern

Yarns used for Fiery Dragon Scarf:
Variegated green: Dream in Color Handpainted Yarn in Happy Forest (superwash merino)- 1 skein (only used about 1/3 for my little scarf
Light green:Ella Rae Amity in Green- 1 skein (used about half)
Red: Encore worsted weight- 10-15 yards should be plenty. Check your stash
Orange:Caron Simply Soft Brites in Mango- about 10 yards 
Fur: Lion Brand Fun Fur in Tangerine- about 10 yards

Correction: The .pdf file has been updated as of 1/23/07 to correct the numbering of the rows in the mouth section. Row 37-44 now reads Row 27-34.

      Fantastic -- I can't wait to try -- and I love that you are trying to raise money for Darfur.

        I think it's important to spread the word and help the women and children who are really suffering.

      My 5 yr old nephew wants a scarf, but boys with scarves are teased at his bus stop. I think this one is awesome and he will be able to wear it with pride! Thank you for sharing it with us.

        You could even make the eyes more menacing ...so it's not so "cute". Let me know how it turns out!
