The Dragon’s Story scarf from Nim Teasdale is simply a lot enjoyable I needed to share it. It’s a crescent-shaped scarf with lace detailing alongside one facet to appear like scales, and the information of the headscarf are made to appear like the dragon’s head and tail, respectively. Full with security eyes, although in fact you could possibly use buttons and even simply embroider French knots or x shapes when you’d quite.
The pinnacle is formed with cables, and each the cables and the lace are charted, however the full sample can be written out when you want to work that method. There’s only one improve and one lower in every row of the border, so it’s a fairly easy introduction to lace knitting when you haven’t tried it earlier than. The sting additionally has an built-in I-cord border to present it extra definition.
The pinnacle might be labored flat or within the spherical if you wish to give it just a little extra reasonable of a glance.
And when you don’t need to use the top and tail in any respect, you possibly can simply make a fairly scarf with a wave and a few dragon scales when you’d quite.
Each the width and the size of the sample are adjustable, and it requires DK weight yarn however you could possibly additionally use worsted in case you have some useful.
This sample was initially launched in 2014 and yow will discover the previous sample with 250 initiatives to point out you what it seems like in all types of yarns on Ravelry. (There’s a extremely nice rainbow model in there, for instance.)
The brand new sample has up to date charts and can be accessible on Ravelry. There’s additionally a scarf model when you’d quite make it larger and extra harking back to dargon wings.
I do love the creativity of knitters and am glad this one was refreshed so it received on my radar this time round!
