This pattern is a variation of the classic Dragon Tail shawl that requires only the very basic knowledge of the KNIT stitch to complete. It is a great project for beginners to start with, as it practices the knit cast-on and the knit bind-off techniques through the piece.

Experienced knitters may enjoy this pattern as an “empty mind” easy work that shows off a nice yarn from their lovely stash. Suggestion: in the middle of the 6th, 12th, 18th (and multiple of 6) step block you may add a sequence of 6 / 12 / 18 repetitions of * YO, k2TOG * just to add a special touch to your shawl.
