Drachenfels

**Are you looking for the original yarn kit? You'll find it [here][1]!** *If you purchase 5 patterns from my Ravelry Store at the same time (add them all to your cart before you check out), the least expensive one will be free. * *Drachenfels has a free Row Map included, which makes knitting more accessible for chemo therapy patients and others who struggle with their concentration. Find out more about Row Maps [here][2].* Here be dragons, or so says the legend – though when you climb [Drachenfels][3] today you'll find only the ruins of an ancient stronghold. Stave off the chill wind with this cosy shawl, which pays homage to the dragon of lore with a slipped garter colorwork pattern that hints of scales. It's worked in garter stitch from tip to edge, then neatly finished with I-cord bind-off. Asymmetrical increases create an elongated triangle shape, and Rosy Green Wool's Cheeky Merino Joy will keep you toasty warm. **Yardage requirements** * 1 skein in 056 Coffee Bean (color A), 95 g / 333 yds \[304 m\] used for sample * 1 skein in 057 Wild Mallow (color B), 86 g / 301 yds \[276 m\] used for sample * 1 skein in 050 Ruby (color C), 95 g / 333 yds \[304 m\] used for sample -- Pattern has been tech edited and test knitted.
