Given the near-impossible task of bringing the One Ring to Mordor to destroy it, and in turn stopping Sauron from ravaging Middle-Earth, the Fellowship was formed at the Council of Elrond in Rivendell. Made up of Gandalf, a Wizard; Legolas, an Elf; Gimli, a Dwarf; Boromir and Aragorn, both Men; and Merry, Pippin, Samwise, and Frodo the ring bearer, four Hobbits; it was decided there should be nine members in the Fellowship to match the number of Nazgûl hunting the Ring. An odd brotherhood, each member was chosen to represent their race, despite animosity and distrust between some of the party.

Channel your inner Hobbit and prepare to pack for your next journey across Middle-Earth! This replica of Pippin’s scarf as seen in the films is a simple 8-stitch by 8-stitch tessellating houndstooth pattern worked in a stranded colorwork tube. Knit in the round from the bottom up so there is no visible wrong side, the live stitches at the ends are closed with alternating fringe. Depending on whether you’re Hobbit-sized or Gandalf-sized, it’s easy to shorten or add length.
