About the Pattern

Fractals have always fascinated me. They are a beautiful combination of mathematics and art. At its most basic level, a fractal is a pattern that looks similar at every level of magnification. The Dragon Curve Fractal is the fractal featured in the chapter headings for Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton.

I designed this scarf to show off the lacy design of the Dragon Curve Fractal. It is a medium weight, double knit scarf that features the fractal repeated all along the length of the scarf. Contrasting yarns show off the design, especially if one of the yarns is a variegated yarn. The length of the scarf is customizable, depending on how many repeats of the charts are worked. Try wearing the hat with the matching Dragon Curve Fractal Hat.

The pattern calls for 250-300 yards each of two contrasting fingering weight yarns for a 52 inch (132 cm) length scarf, which is fairly short. Length can be increased as directed using additional yarn.

Instructions are included for the double knitting technique. The color work design is chart only, not written instructions.
