Majestic, powerful, and ever watchful, the griffin has captured the imagination for centuries. With the body and tail of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle, it combines the king of beasts with the king of the skies. Since classical antiquity, griffins have been celebrated as guardians of hidden treasures, symbols of strength, courage, and nobility.

This richly textured throw brings the legendary creature to life through a variety of stitch patterns that create the griffin’s feathers, flowing lion’s tail, and the rocky perch from which it keeps watch.

Measuring approximately 5 x 6 feet after blocking, it makes a striking heirloom piece and a wonderful project for knitters who enjoy intricate, charted designs.


Instructions: Charted only

Should you encounter any problems with the pattern, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

And, as always, please respect the copyright. Sharing the pattern instead of directing friends to purchase their own copy may prompt the resident griffin to swoop down, guard your yarn stash as its newest treasure, and refuse to let you knit until proper amends have been made!

All set up and ready to knit #kcdesign
