Gilmore Girls Revival! Let’s KNIT!

By Courtney Kelley on

The Thanksgiving holiday is over, and I hope everyone’s fridge is as full of delicious leftovers as mine is! This weekend Netflix released the new Gilmore Girls reboot, and it was a post-holiday binge-wathcing tv dream, so finally, last night I settled in with some pecan pie after the kids went to bed and watched the first episode. Gilmore Girls has always had fantastic hand knits (and crochet), and this reboot is surely no exception. 

Last week, designer Lisa Whiting got in touch with us to let us know that two of her company’s designs would be worn by Paris and Rory on the show – using The Fibre Co. yarns! Episode One did not let me down, and I spotted the scarves towards the end of the episode.

On the left is Eponymuff worn by Paris, and on the right is Dots n Dashes worn by Rory. Eponymuff in particular has set knitter’s queues on fire this weekend, with over 900 hearts on Ravelry! 

Eponymuff is knit in The Fibre Co. Road to China Light, shown in Topaz and Tanzanite.

Get your kit tonight from Lisa Lucia Knits, or visit your Local Yarn Shop and pick up some Knightsbridge and Road to China Light in your choice of colors!

“Kits include everything you need to make our patterns, delivered right to your door. Monday’s debut will feature the Dots & Dashes Hat and Scarf Kit (scarf worn by Rory Gilmore in Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life) and Eponymuff Kit (worn by Paris Geller). Both kits will be available Monday, November 28 at 6pm.”

In celebration of the release of the new episodes and the accompanying patterns, we’re having a contest! Two lucky winners will be chosen to receive the yarn to make their choice of scarf. Let us know in the comments which scarf you’d like to make! We’ll announce a winner on Friday at 4pm EST!

The only other question is, “Do we KAL or not?” I just know my mom is expecting an Eponymuff Scarf of her own for Christmas this year… 

UPDATE 12/2/16: Congratulations to Ravelry user Poohtum! She won our Gilmore Girls Giveaway and will receive enough Knightsbridge yarn to knit Dots and Dashes! We messaged you on Ravelry, and we’ll have your yarn on it’s way to you shortly. Thanks to everyone who entered our contest!

  2. Oh Eponymuff would be a dream to knit. Plus the wearer would feel empowered to live large and without apology as per Paris!

  10. The Eponymuff immediately jumped out at me when I was watching this weekend! I cannot wait to knit it! please consider me for the give away

  11. The eponymuff is the one that has my attention. Both are awesome and will be in my pattern collection. Thank you!!

  12. I was OBSESSING over the Eponymuff while I watched Gilmore Girls this weekend. I would love to make it. Both patterns are beautiful

  13. I like Dots and Dashes best, especially in Rory’s colors, but I thought Paris looked smashing in Eponymuff.

  19. The funny thing is that i didn’t realize that those were patterns on Ravelry and was trying to figure out how the Dots and Dashes was constructed!!!!

  20. I would LOVE to knit Dots and Dashes.
    I had a major moment when two of my favorite things (Gilmore Girls and knitting) came together 🙂

  33. As soon as I saw them on the show, I knew there would be a Ravelry lovefest. I loved Paris’ Eponymuff! I would totally knit that one!

  34. Love Gilmore Girls! And all the fab hand knits 🙂 How awesome is it that the designers got to be in the show. I would love to knit Rory’s dots & dashes scarf!

  35. Definitely the Eponymuff. I had to stop the show and search Ravelry when I saw it, very striking!

  36. I love both, but would love to knit Eponymuff!! I immediately favorited both as soon as I saw them on Ravelry.

  44. I LOVE the Eponymuff – noticed it when I saw it on Friday, but knowing it’s your yarn and on Ravelry is an extra treat!

  46. Eponymuff – I wanted to make my hostess freeze frame so that I could get a picture when I saw it Friday. Dots and fakes is perfect for Rory, but I know I can’t do that much double knitting – congrats to the designer and knitter!

  49. I am definitely in for dots and dashes but that is probably just the start. Did anyone notice the knitter in the corner at Luke’s Diner as Paris and Rory were leaving?

  51. I treated myself to both patterns, I had a hard time choosing. They both are fabulous. I think I will start with the dots and dashes. I am moving them to the top of my long ravelry queue.

  53. They’re both very beautiful. For myself I would knit the Dots and Dashes, but for my best friend – a huge Gilmore Girls fan – I would knit the Eponymuff I think that would be absolutely her style. Well done! 👍🏻👏🏻

  54. I love Dots n Dashes – and have been wondering to myself since I watched GG this weekend whether I subconsciously adopted my entire style from Rory Gilmore!

  61. Oh definitely a KAL!!!! Love the Eponymuff and definitely would knit that baby up!

  71. I love the challenge of Eponymuff, but I’d knit Dots and Dashes because it’s more my style. Love that these were featured!

  72. Eponymuff – which looks as if it would be super-fun to knit and fabulous to wear. Thank you for offering this opportunity to dress like a star!

  73. I love dots and dash! It would be the perfect kit to knit this holiday season in Knightsbridge!!!!

  77. I spotted Eponymuff during the episode and exclaimed "that looks like a handmade scarf, I wonder if there’s a pattern?" My family thought I was nuts, so I feel so vindicated that there IS, and I can’t wait to make one!

  79. Dots and Dashes would be my choice. I have never watched the Gillmore Girls, but with it up on Netflix and beautiful handknits to spy, I may have to give it a try. 🙂 Arthjarna on Ravelry.

  80. I noticed both scarves during the episode and was excited to see such beautiful handknits. I am in love with Eponymuff and definitely want to knit it, but Dots & Dashes is a great pattern as well. And it’s so Rory!

  82. I’m completely in awe of the texture and colorplay of the eponymuff scarf. I am also quite excited to see GG display beautiful hand knits!!

    There definitely needs to be a KAL for both!!!

  83. I’m dying to knit Eponymuff, and I’d love to see some suggestions for color pairings to use!

  95. I would love to knit the eponymuff. I have already bought the pattern and would LOVE to win the yarn!

  109. Eponymuff is so original, I’m itching to try it out and learn how to do this kind of awesome color work!

  125. Dots and dashes would be my fav but Eponymuff a close second! I love love Love Gilmore Girls! So glad they are showcasing talented knit designers.

  131. I fell in love with Paris’ scarf the second I saw it on GG. I tracked down the pattern to Lisa Lucia knits earlier this week and bought it. The only problem is I don’t know how to brioche knit so a KAL would be fantastic for Eponymuff!

  133. I WATCHED THIS LAST NIGHT AND LOVED BOTH OF THE SCARVES!! I was even working out in my head how I could knit Rories scarf! AMAZING!! Needless to say I’d knit Dots and Dashes! 😀

  136. Eponymuff worn by Paris…
    TOTALLY BINGED and one of the super best qualities about Gilmore Girls – the Knits… 1) I love Paris and 2) Looks like a challenge. 🙂

  139. What a difficult choice! Love them both. Hmmm Probably going with the Eponymuff since I’m doing a double knit now and definitely need a break from it.

  140. Love the Dot’s and Dashes! Love Gilmore Girls! Can’t wait to knit this scarf and watch Gilmore Girls at the same time.

  152. I would LOVE to knit the Eponymuff scarf!!! I was drooling over it as I watched that scene!

  154. Omg I really love the Dots and Dashes scarf!! And I’ve always adored the knit wear on Gilmore girls! I wonder what other things I can find patterns for!!

  161. LOVE eponymuff. I noticed it on Paris right away and u haven’t been able to stop thinking about it. I’d love to see it in a wine and pink.

  165. I love the eponymuff! When I was watching the show, all I could think was I nerf to find that pattern

  169. Eponymuff is amazing! I stared at it during the episode trying to figure out how to recreate it.

  172. I fell in love with Eponymuff when I watched the episode! How cool that the patterns are available and knit from The Fibre Co yarns!

  179. Soon as I saw Eponymuff, I knew it had to be handmade, and I needed to find it. I like both, but that is my favorite!

  184. I must have the epinymuff!!!! The second it came on screen I told my husband I had to find that pattern!

  190. Eponymuff is lovely. All the colors are beautiful but I particularly like the topaz and tanzanite. Gorgeous.

  192. Love them both. But the first I would make is eponymuff. I must make it for my daughter in tanzanite and topaz.

  223. I would make Eponymuff but I would make it in Rory’s Dots and Dashes scarf colors. I haven’t done much stranded/color-change work like this but I want to give it a try!!

  227. Definitely the Dots n Dashes – love the geometry and can’t resist dots n dashes since once upon a time I learned Morse code :-))

    I am a bit confused as to how to ‘log in’ – I have been on your email list for a while now as sashtank@yahoo.com. The name is Patricia.

  234. Is rory’s dots and dashes really knitted with flintshire and barley? Those don’t seem to look blue and cream colored to me! Help! 🙂

      1. I don’t think it’s bleu tarn. I know they knit a bunch of versions of these, and the main one on Ravelry isn’t knit in Knightsbridge. The yellow/brown Ravelry version is knit in a discontinued Fibre Co. yarn, Road to China Worsted, and the other one does look blue. I think Lisa said it was Concordia – which is actually purple, which doesn’t always photograph correctly… To be honest, I just went by what I saw on the show which looked like Flintshire and either Barley or Stonehenge, but I haven’t gotten a confirmation on that!

  239. I haven’t tried two-color knitting before. I think Dots and Dashes would be such a fun knit to start. I love its geometric design!
