Here be dragons, or so says the legend – though when you climb the Drachenfels hill today, you’ll find the ruins of an ancient stronghold.  Stave off the chill wind with this cozy shawl, which pays homage to the dragon of lore with a slipped garter colorwork pattern that hints of scales.

Drachenfels is worked in garter stitch from tip to edge, then neatly finished with anI-cord bind-off.  Asymmetrical increases create an elongated triangle shape, and lovely merino wool will keep you toasty warm on your journey.

Kit includes pdf & printed pattern and selected yarn. For yarn winding services, click here. By selecting Pattern Only, you will receive the .pdf version only.
