Game of Thrones: Crochet your own Stark “Winter Is Coming” Banner

Progress of the Stark Banner
While waiting in breathless anticipation for Game of Thrones season 2 to start, I have been looking for things to occupy my Thronie mind. There are so many people in this world, like me, who are always looking for that next interesting thing to go ga-ga over.

So I set out on a quest, to find something interesting. I searched high and low and came across some interesting things, but what really got me excited was the idea of creating Thrones fiber art. That is when I came across these Game of Thrones paint brushes by liviagraphix, both the House Sigils and House Words.
Then I came up with the idea creating my own House Banners. After several months of looking for that perfect fun fan appreciation of all things Game of Thrones, I present to you the first House Banner I created. (Yes I am a geek with a hook)
This is done in a simple black and grey color scheme featuring the Stark Direwolf and the Stark Words. Wouldn’t this make a perfect gift for the Thronie in your life? Well you’re in luck as the pattern is available below for you to crank out your own House Stark Banner.
One last thing. Please do not post this pattern on your website or claim it as your own. I ask that you instead link to my page, which will help with internet karma. Mainly yours.
House Stark crochet Sigil/Banner
Color 0 = Red Heart Super Saver Black two 5oz skeins or one 14 oz skein
Color 1 = Red Heart Super Saver Grey Heather two 5 oz skeins or one 14 oz skein
I hook (but you can probably use an H as well.)
This piece is 100x96 (100 stitches across with 96 rows to complete) I put an optional 4 rows if you want to make the black longer at the top.
sc = single crochet
This piece is done using the cut and tie method. Check out the tutorial at cbn. Todd Paschall who is this amazing artist created this method of crochet which is like old school paint by numbers. But it was not until I saw Lee Mack’s work that I realized that I could take all of my favorite things and put my love of all geektastic things in crochet.
FYI: I wait until I complete a row before I tie the loose pieces. I do this in case I miscounted which can happen, and need to pull out the row and re-do it. Once I complete the row and all the stitches match up I then tie the yarn together. Just remember to pull the yarn through, so that all yarn is in the back. It should look like a latch-hook rug (sort-of) in the back.
This is worked from right to left. Please note that I made a slight adjustment in the pattern for the IS as what I worked originally came out muddled a bit. Any questions please do not hesitate to leave me a comment. Above all else, have fun!
Chain 101 and sc in 2nd ch from hook. Ch 1 for each row. FYI ch1 does not count as a sc.

There you have it! Your very own House Stark Banner! Be on the lookout for more banners to come.
Thanks so much for sharing this pattern! I need help, though. I'm on row 67, and the pattern says this:
ReplyDeleteRS Row 67: Color 0 sc21; color 1 sc60; color 0 sc1; color 1 sc4; color sc24
which is a total of 110 stitches, when there should only be 100. I only realized this when I got to the end of the row and had only done 14 stitches in color 0. Do you have the correct breakdown? I don't want to keep working if I've got this row wrong. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
Row 14 is not complete and the rest is not coming out right. This is an awesome idea but I just can't get it to come out right.
ReplyDeleteI'm having trouble with row 12, the stitches don't seem to line up correctly
