ABOUT THE DESIGN
I Am Dragon Remix serves as the sequel to my original design, I Am Dragon, which was published in 2018. While I hold a special fondness for the original pattern and the yarn used, I saw an opportunity for enhancement. What distinguishes these two designs? The sequel features more beads, a revised pattern description and chart, different needle sizes and finished measurements, among other updates.

This unique knitwear piece has the power to transform you into a mythological being. The intricately textured 3D dragon scales, adorned with three beads each, may appear complex, but rest assured - crafting them is surprisingly straightforward (no short rows!). This garment fastens around your neck with a set of magnetic snaps, ensuring all scales face forward. For added flair at the back, I included a tassel with two sections embellished with beads.
