After last week's revelation that Jon Snow wears a Skold rug on his shoulder, the mega-retailer is getting in on the game.
Game of Thrones fans have an insatiable appetite for anything to do with their beloved show, so last, week, when the costume designer casually let slip that Jon Snow, the King of the North, was in fact wearing an Ikea Skold rug around his shoulder, the internet went crazy. And good crazy, not crazy like trying to put together a Liatrop bookcase on a schedule. Well our fave Swedish flatpackers have upped the ante by putting out instruction—in that classic Ikea manner—on how to set about transforming their furry carpet into a cape fit for a king. Any guesses on what costume is going to be everywhere this Halloween?
