Autumn Dragon Wing Shawl

 I have been trying to stash-bust during the pandemic, and in going through my yarn I came across 2 skeins of Red Heart Boutique Unforgettable in Polo. It's incredibly soft, and includes beautiful autumnal shades of orange, burgundy, and olive.  I decided to revisit the Dragon Wing pattern I made a few years ago, and submit it for the Cozy Autumn Challenge I'm running on Lettuce Craft.

I ended up buying one more skein to finish the project, but managed to use up nearly every inch.  I had just about 3' of yarn leftover, after doing 2 rounds of single crochet for the border.

Dragon Wing Shawl



I finished my Dragon Wing Shawl!  This project worked up so quickly and easily.  The pattern is the Lizard Shawl and is free.  The yarn is Lion Brand Shawl in a Ball in Feng Shui Grey.  I would absolutely make this pattern again.  Possibly with something that will keep a more defined edge than the Shawl in a Ball does, though I did find the row of border to be a big help.  (So much so that I did a second round of sc border to really help define the edges.)  After doing some weighing and some weird yarn math, it looks like I used 1.57 skeins of the yarn, along with a 5.0mm hook.
