Dragonfruit Shawl

With its engaging hybrid construction and unusual border, Dragonfruit is an adventure of a shawl. Dragonfruit’s three textured panels and intricate edging pack a visual punch, whether made in solid, gradient, variegated, or slow-color-change yarn. The Dragonfruit Shawl was the January 2017 Join-Along pattern in the Crochet Shoulder Wrappers Group! Read the thread and share projects [here][1]. **Difficulty Level:** Intermediate **Skills Used:** * basic stitches (ch, sc, sl st, hdc, dc, trc) * basic increases and decreases * back loop only stitches * back loop only slip stitch **Note: Dislike slip stitch? Every slip stitch in the pattern can be replaced by a single crochet!** **Construction:** Dragonfruit is worked in 3 sections. Section I is worked from the bottom up, then the work is turned. The other sections and the edging are worked from the top down. ______________________________________________________ Want to know what to expect when buying a Knot Theorist pattern?
