This is the CROCHET Pattern for the Dragon County Shawl.
This shawl is part of the Dutchess & Dragons 2019 CAL/KAL with Stitch & Hustle, Kristy Glass Knits & Asylum Fibers. For the Dragon County Crochet Shawl - I added a few fun features such as an extra turning stitch to start each row to allow for the shape to not “pull in” creating more of a half circle than crescent.
I also wanted gauge not to be a huge element so that people can just enjoy the making and shaping of the shawl. Did you hear me? GAUGE IS NOT A BIG DEAL! STITCH LOOSELY!
On mine, stitched in the color Ferocity, I stitched VERY loosely and you can see that makes it even a bit bigger after blocking. I also snuck in one row of hdc instead of sc for a bit of personal flair after the second Mohair section.
On Kristy’s crochet version, made in the color Gumption, she followed the pattern and gauge right up until the final 2 trim rows. She added a row of Mohair at the end before the final trim row - which I love.
