As seen in Knotions, but now also with line by line written instructions for formerly only charted dragon motif.

My daughter is obsessed with dragons and has been asking for a dragon-inspired knit for ages. Finally, she has her wish! Ladon, the serpent-like dragon of Greek Mythology, guarded the golden apples in the Garden of the Hesperides. This top-down capelette features Ladon dragon motifs both on the front and the back, with panels of simple brioche to keep you cozy warm on a chilly winter day.
