  • Celtic Dragon Scarf

Knit this gorgeous Celtic dragon scarf for the dragon in your life!

Surrounded by beautiful Celtic knots, the majestic dragons in the Celtic Dragon Scarf intertwine their tails to join in the expanding knotwork. Celtic knot designs have long been featured in knitted garments and accessories, and this scarf is perfect for a love of dragons with an artistic flair!

Double knit, the scarf is fully reversible, featuring opposite color schemes on either side. Use two solid colors for a classic look or a solid paired with a variegated yarn for a more interesting color combination (gradual or subtle color changes work best).

The finished size of the scarf is approximately 68.5 inches (174 cm) in length and 5.25 inches (13.3 cm) in width. The length of the scarf can be increased or decreased in approximately 5.6 inch (14.2 cm) intervals.
