Yávië

Yávië is the name for the third season in the Reckoning of Rivendell. It corresponded to late summer and early autumn, and lasted for 54 days from August 12 to October 4. The Sindarin name for the season was Iavas. I found inspiration for this scarf in the harvest season. The lace pattern is reminiscent of the heads of grain ready to be harvested, which makes it very appropriate for this season. The colors I chose show all the rich colors of ripe fruits and earth, and is a fitting tribute to Yavanna Kementári, the Valië whose domain was the living earth, the kelvar and the olvar (fauna and flora, to those who are not Tolkien nerds). Experience with double-knitting and lace knitting is recommended for this pattern. I have included illustrated instructions for certain unusual stitches used in the scarf.

I knitted the scarf in Drops Delight because I love the effect the variegated yarn produces, but the scarf can be knitted in any other fingering weight yarn.
