Our new pattern - Big Dragon Scales a larger version made just for supremely colorful Noro Ito! Like the original, it is SUCH an addictive knit. Watching the colors play over this surprisingly easy stitch pattern is a true delight.

I love this stitch pattern like you wouldn’t believe. Though I’ve never found it in a book, it came into being so naturally on a swatch, I now want it on a million different projects. Based on the old honeycomb slip stitch pattern, it is more layered to create a dragon scale or a peacock feather look. Once you do a couple of repeats, it’ll become really intuitive. The colors are used almost equally, so just label C1 and C2 however you like. The sample is color 3 and 29.

The kit includes all the Ito you need (1 each of your 2 color choices) and a pattern download code. You’ll need a Size US 10 needle.

Big Dragon Scales will be free for the first 1000 downloads with code FREEDRAGON and free with purchase of any of my other patterns (you need to add both to your cart before using the code) and code FREEITO for one week after that!
