Very happy to share the **Scarf of Life** with you! This pattern includes clear written instructions and links to video tutorials to guide you through every step. Most of the design is worked from charts.
The **Scarf of Life** is a double knit scarf that tells the story of evolution. It begins with prokaryotes and eukaryotes, and follows the development of life through sponges and corals, the Cambrian explosion, fish, Tiktaalik, dinosaurs and an early mammal, birds and bees, all the way through to life as we know it today.
This is a piece for knitters who love intricate colourwork and storytelling through design.
