Japanese Virtual Pet Scarf

This is a knitting pattern, not a finished knitted scarf.

Pattern includes written instructions for the overall project, but the body of the scarf is all charted (no written instructions for that). I've also added videos from YouTube for each technique. 

The scarf uses an invisible cast-on, invisible bind-off, slipped edges and is double-knit.

Needle size: 2.0 mm - US 0

Gauge: 32 stitches and 44 rown = 4 inches (knitted flat) or 64 stitches and 44 rows = 4 inches (double knitting)

You will need: Fingering weight Yarn (2,5 – 3,5mm/ US 1 ½ - 4 Needle) around 1300m (1422 yards) that is  650m (711 yards) per color.

I used:

2 skein SOUL fingering Weight Yarn (PRU YARNS) in color ChaCha, 400m/100g (438 yards/ 15 oz), (85% Wool 15% Nyon), or a similar weight and yardage in the fiber and color of your choice.

2 skein SOUL fingering Weight Yarn (PRU YARNS) in color Leather, 400m/100g (438 yards/ 15 oz), (85% Wool 15% Nyon), or a similar weight and yardage in the fiber and color of your choice.

Finished dimension: 77 inches (196 cm) long, 5,7 inches (14,5 centimeters) wide

Additional materials: 4 Stitch markers, tapestry needle, yarn tension ring. Extra +2 spare 2mm needles (for binding of).

Skill Level: Intermediate

A few months ago, YouTube recommended me virtual pets unboxing and playthrough videos, and I got hooked again. Seeing all these cute pets inspired me to make a new pixel chart for a new scarf design. I chose some pet’s from the first generation, some fan favorites and obviously, I squeezed my own favorites in between. I hope everyone finds at least one Tamagotchi who they love. I’m really happy with the finished design and my childhood memories come flooding back when I look at the scarf.

While knitting the chart, I changed small mistakes I made and only noticed after knitting. I made Kuchipatchi a little bigger because he looked on my finished scarf smaller than the other Tamagotchi’s. Also, I forgot to color Maskutchi’s ears and fixed it. So it’s not going to look 1 to 1, like in the pictures, but now it looks even cuter.
