Inspired by sea creatures real and imagined, Sea Dragon is knit from side to side with short rows forming a shallow crescent shape. Its comfortable proportions are perfect for wrapping around the neck scarf-style or wearing around the shoulders. Choose between the small or large fingering weight Shawl or the DK weight Collar or Shawl options and showcase your favourite yarn: go crazy with your leftover yarn stash and knit each segment in a different colour, use a gradient or variegated yarn, or go with your favourite solid colour combination.
