⚔️ Here be dragons (and they’re very warm)

The Dragon from my Fairy Tale Cowl Series! It’s worked from the top down, which means no seams (yay!), and it’s a quick project sure to please any cowl wearer.

Instructions for an optional neck insert keep things warm during the coldest months. It uses the same yarn as my Dragon Tail Blanket and Buddy, so you can make a matching set.
