Here Be Water Dragons – Garter Stitch Version
is Quinton Lime’s Here Be Water Dragons from January 2015, with very, very tiny changes.
My key changes were to replace “Purl” with “Knit” & to replace “K2tog” with “SSK”.

I like & need detail, but not everyone does, so I’ve provided two choices of the same pattern. If you prefer your pattern written out row by row, download the 8 page version. If you don’t need or want it written out completely, then download the 4 page version.

Gauge & Size depends on needle size, yarn, plus number of repeats in middle.
Yarn: your choice (at least 250 yards if sock weight on size 3 or 4 US needles)

Both Quinton’s original, stockinette version & this garter stitch version will work wonderfully to use yarn in your stash. If you like multiple colors & don’t mind weaving in multiple ends, you could even change your yarn color for each wedge. A new wedge begins each time you cast on 12 stitches at the end of a row.

Needles: two to six sizes larger than recommended needles for yarn. If unfamiliar with the yarn, you may want to make a swatch to make sure your needle size choice makes a soft, flexible sample that you will be able to tie as a scarf.

Size: Repeat Part Two either until scarf / shawlette is about half the length you want, or until a little more than half the yarn is left.

Below are the yarn & needle sizes I used in the photos. Using a digital scale, I’ve added the finished weight of each.
