You have probably heard of the HBO series
"Game of Thrones." It's an epic drama where it's not clear who's bad and who's good . . .
especially the dragons! It's Vera's favorite show, so Vera and I worked up a
custom Mountain Colors Yarn color, and a terrific shawl inspired by the majestic dragon named
Drogon.
The
circular shawl features flames and scales, with cables for the spines of the dragon wings. It's knit with
Mountain Color's Bearfoot yarn, a soft blend of superwash wool, mohair and a little nylon. The shawl's size is approximately 21” to 23” in diameter, and will take two skeins of the Bearfoot yarn.
Bonus: The
Dragon Wings Shawl pattern is
FREE with the purchase of the
Bearfoot Fire Dragon yarn!
This exclusive yarn color is called “Fire Dragon,” and is available only at FiberWild! The bold red, black and yellow are the color of Drogon's wings, and the color is also reminiscent of the flames of the funeral pyre where Daenery's three dragons were hatched.
The Fire Dragon color is also available in
Crazyfoot and
Weavers Wool 1/4s.
We DO NOT recommend knitting the shawl with Crazyfoot. We have not knit the shawl in
Weavers Wool 1/4s, but if you would like to give it a try, please call the store for some insights!
