Kiku Dragon Shawl
Kiku 菊 is Japanese for Chrysanthemum.
Scale-like dimensional texture, with equally interesting reverse.
These scale (or petal!) segments are not only dimensional but overlap a bit and flex like armor plates.
See my Dragons Bundle for more designs with this stitching.
Kiku Features Curved Arcs of Scales of Descending Size.
Worked Flat Lower Edge Up to Center Top, on Long Circular Needles.
