This pattern is available for $1.99.

Dragontail is designed to flow around your form, flattering any body shape.

Its summer-friendly drop-stitch lace is achieved with no purling and simple increases, and showcases hand painted yarns.
The optional knitted-on border provides more challenge.

The pattern provides three sizes:
Small: 54 inches from wing tip to wing tip, 30 inches along spine to tip of tail

Medium: 58 inches by 36 inches

and

Large: 84 inches by 40 inches.

Small is suitable for a petite frame, or may be used as a triangular scarf.

Medium will fit an average height person, with the triangle of the shawl skimming down past the posterior (avoiding the ‘arrow pointing at the behind’ syndrome some folks object to in triangular shawls).

Large is generous enough for a 3XL-4XL person, or for those blessed with extra height.
