Wrap yourself in dragon skin, saddle your horse and off you go into the deep forest to find the dragon’s treasure. The Drachenwald cowl will keep you warm during your adventures, if you conquer dragons or simply venture through the winter landscape.

Drachenwald features a reversible chevron pattern that resembles dragon scales, an i-chord edging and a button band. It can be worn as a scarf or buttoned up as a cowl. Wrap it twice around your neck for a looser fit. If you wrap it three times, it will be nice and snug. The smaller size has a snug fit when wrapped twice.

The pattern contains fully written and charted instructions for two sizes. Size L to wrap twice or three times around the neck for a loose or snug fit and size M to wrap twice around the neck for a snug fit. Button holes and i-chord edging are explained in the pattern.
