Spherio Dragon Traits: curious, sweet, bubbly, playful, youthful

Use my Ribbon Candy Crochet techniques to craft this petite asymmetrical triangle shawl. Inspired by everything round and smooth and adorable. If you love wearing something delicate around your neck and shoulders on chilly days, this shape is ideal for you.

Stare into its mesmerizing colorwork, but do not be intimidated--it's a lot simpler than it appears. Not every dragon is a scary dragon... Spherio is a pattern that will stimulate your mind and relax your day. Take some time to set up a flawless foundation and Round 1, then sit back and stitch to that pleasant Ribbon Candy rhythm.

Plus, each shawl body row uses less than 50 yards of sock yarn, so you can play around with partial skeins and scraps from your stash.

Level: Intermediate. To complete this project you must be able to read a chart or a pattern, maintain even tension, count accurately, and stitch confidently into starting chains. The Dragon Tail Shawls Collection introduces some new tricks to my Ribbon Candy Crochet repertoire. If you are familiar with my patterns, it will be very accessible to you.

I recommend that all crocheters new to my Ribbon Candy Crochet techniques download and complete my Swatching Guide. It will teach you the basics and prepare you to begin any of my designs with confidence. 

If you are a beginner and would prefer a gentler introduction to my techniques, I suggest my Ribbon Candy shawl or scarf book. These patterns are more repetitive and are an excellent stepping stone to more complex Ribbon Candy Crochet patterns.
