Another Yarn Fairy original, this heart shaped shawl is knit from the top down. We are actually making a dragon, when complete there is one full body down center back panel and left and right sides are wings. Top it off I made actual dragon eyes for us, a triangle for his tail and daggers at the wing points. Those points, they are knit off one at a time so you really get large points, serious wings. This a great knit with a fun ending… you can flap around like a dragon in your Fae realm/territory when complete.

Kits are available here.
