"This gorgeous shawl is worked from the top down in a dragonfly motif. The sample is shown in #5 bulky weight yarn but you could make this in any weight yarn; just continue in the established increase pattern to make it any size. The Dragonflies in Flight pattern features Be So Easy Yarn, 100% milk cotton. You can find the Be So Easy Yarn exclusively on Kristin Omdahl's website, which is linked here in the pattern description below."

"This stitch pattern looks more complicated than what it truly is. That's what makes me love it! People think I spent forever on the stitch but in reality, it's super simple. The sweater is created using the Dragon stitch. The dragon stitch is such a versatile stitch that you can use it on any one of your projects. Materials: #4 Worsted weight yarn and 5mm hook The stitches used are the shell stitch and chains. This pattern does have a 4 row repeat. I suggest stitch markers to not lose your place in the pattern."

"The Dragonfly Poncho is so quick and easy to make and if you use a self striping yarn, such as Caron Cake, the yarn does all the work for you! The dragonflies are charming as they scatter throughout the poncho. A simple design allows both the dragonflies and yarn to show through. I designed the poncho in two sizes, child and adult, but with the stitch multiple identified it is really easy to adjust to almost any size you might desire."

Of course, Dragon Scale Fingerless Mitts are always season, and are loved not only by the fans of fantasy. While they make use of the unusual crocodile stitch, they aren’t hard. Consequently they have an awesome scale-like three dimensional pattern that interplays super well with the right choice of colors. Moreover, this technique may come in handy in other projects, so it's good to learn and practice it.

The amigurumi Dragon that actually breathes fire! I've given instructions for a fiercer looking dragon or a sleepy more friendly looking dragon. There is a video showing how to make the fire for his mouth too. The fire is removable There is a written pattern that can be printed off. There is a 14 part video series on youtube that will take you through each part of the dragon including stuffing, shaping and assembly (and fire) I've left nothing out.

The Dragonfly Slouchy in the pictures below was created by the very talented Maria Bittner. It is a thin slouch decorated with voided-out dragonfly patterns that give it a lacy flair. Moreover, they're great for ventilation, so this thick-ish slouch won't be too hot.
