Introduction -
Designed for either double knitting or colorwork in the round, this scarf is sure to start your year with a fantastic adventure! This quest will play out in an 4 week campaign following the next step of your character’s adventures through the land of Yarnia.

What is a Knitting RPG (KRPG)?
A Knitting Role Playing Game!
The way this works is that I shall act as the Dungeon Master (Game Master) for a custom game of Yarn Quest – The Solar Serpent. Starting May 15th I will release instructions for determining what charts to knit on your scarf. These charts will be randomized by each person using a set of stats. There are many charts, so everyone’s scarf will be unique!

Special Equipment
If you don’t have a set already, I highly recommend getting a set of 7 D20 gaming dice (D4, D6, D8, D10, D12, D20). They can be found at your local game store (Games by James, etc) or through Amazon - Make sure you pick a set with the 7 different dice, pick whatever colors you like best!.
If you don’t want to pick up a set of dice, sites like Random.org or random number generators will also work. There’s probably an app out there for dice rolls, because there’s apps for everything.

Gauge -
Double knitting -
16 stitches and 20 rows - 4” or 10 cm
Colorwork -
20 stitches and 20 rows - 4” or 10 cm
Gauge is not vital to this project.

Colors -
Some good color combos to try out include -
• Red and Black
• Blue and Gold
• Gold and Black

Remember that you can always test if your colors have enough contrast by taking a photo of the colors side by side and using a filter to turn it into a black and white photo.
