Pattern Round-Up: The Hogwarts Scarf

OK, that was a nice break.  I'm not a post-twice-a-day person!  But there's good news to share: I will be seeing HP7b in a movie theatre this weekend!  I love my husband.

Pattern Round-Up: The Hogwarts Scarf

Hogwarts house colors are prominently featured on all Hogwarts knits; this is especially true of the ever-present winter accessory, the scarf.

House	Main Color	Alternate
Gryffindor	Scarlet	Gold
Ravenclaw	Blue	Books: Bronze (Movies: Gray)
Hufflepuff	Canary yellow	Midnight black
Slytherin	Green	Silver

 Now: There are several patterns for Hogwarts scarves; this is partly due to knitters' preferences for a variety of yarn gauges, but mostly due to the pattern redesign between HP2 and HP3.

The scarves of HP3-HP6 (The action of HP7 is so far removed from Hogwarts, I didn't even check for scarves in the movie) feature a thick section of the house's main color interspersed with thin stripes of the accent and main colors, and no fringe, from what I can see in at a cursory glance.  More free patterns!
