Notes

Many ways to wear and drape = the usual scarf wrap styles plus hood/cloak, table runner, or as a Shrug by using ribbons or pedestal buttons to fasten at desired spacing. I used a leather lace through the top slip sts of lowest Scales #’s 4 & 9 in from the short edges.

This one has 29 x 9 Scales Repeats and measures
64” (162.5 cm) Wide by 19.8” (50 cm) Deep

It used just over 4 hanks -410 g of
Malabrigo Rios 2 Tranquilo and 2.1 Winter Lake

Subtle gradient achieved with 2 very closely related colors- I did not stripe them in, I knit until out of tranquilo then straight into Winter Lake.

Changed the dimensions for this final sample from my original prototype Mitered Dragon. Made it shorter and wider, more wrap than scarf. It hangs better and is more versatile.

Also happier with this color combo for photos - the other has too much contrast. It’s really cool close-up and in person but it’s a large item and needs some distance for the pics. IMO The color overwhelms the stitching on the old one .
