The Druk is the Thunder Dragon of Bhutanese mythology and a Bhutanese national symbol. The sparkling light of thunderbolts were believed to be the fire of a dragon.

The hat is worked in the round and in Dk weight yarn. The instructions are for 2 sizes and include a colour chart plus written instructions.
