Hi all,
As promised here is the blog version of the Dragonscale scarf pattern. The pattern is a great introduction to lacework if you have never tried it before. The lace dragonscales are surrounded by a simple stabilising seed stitch border.
You can download the PDF for free during the unplanned KAL by clicking on the image below.
The finished size, before blocking, should be around 80" x 8" or 203cm x 20cm.
You will need to block the scarf gently to open up the lacework and really see those dragonscales shine in all their glory.
