Ladon
As seen in Knotions, but now also with line by line written instructions for formerly only charted dragon motif.
My daughter is obsessed with dragons and has been asking for a dragon-inspired knit for ages. Finally, she has her wish! Ladon, the serpent-like dragon of Greek Mythology, guarded the golden apples in the Garden of the Hesperides. This top-down capelette features Ladon dragon motifs both on the front and the back, with panels of simple brioche to keep you cozy warm on a chilly winter day.
