Inspired by sea creatures real and imagined, Ambah O'Brien's Sea Dragon Shawl is knit from side to side, with short rows forming a shallow crescent shape. Its comfortable proportions are perfect for wrapping around the neck scarf-style or wearing around the shoulders. Choose between a small or large Sea Dragon Shawl and showcase your favorite yarn: go crazy with your leftover yarn stash and knit each segment in a different color, use a gradient or variegated yarn, or go with your favorite solid color combination.

Suitable for adventurous beginners, techniques include: simple short rows, picking up stitches, simple increases and decreases.
