taken after blocking.
Sts should be snug.
Additional Chattiness…
These scale segments are not only dimensional, but overlap a bit and flex like armor plates.
Worked from knit (inner) side… No one wants to work only purls - am I right?
The directional YO closures and the inverse cdd will seem tedious and fiddly at first, like most new techniques. Remember learning cables? But you will get used to them.
You do need to pay attention to your knitting, but it has a logical progression.
Tips to maximize the dimensional effect
1.Use tightly plied, round “springy” yarn.
2.Make a firm fabric/tight sts = smallish needles for your yarn.
3.Snug down the increases and decreases as you work them
More Dragon Designs
Imoogi = 이무기 is a Korean Dragon Myth (the original girl with the dragon tattoo?).
Imugi literally means, “Great Lizard”. The legend of the Imugi says that the sun god gave the Imoogi their power through a human girl, which would be transformed into the Imoogi on her 17th birthday. Legend also said that a dragon-shaped mark would be found on the shoulder of the girl, revealing that she was the Imugi in human form.
