Dragon Scales 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 135 and 136. You can find kits is a multitude of combinations here.
