Dragonfruit Shawl

With its engaging hybrid construction and unusual border, Dragonfruit is an adventure of a shawl. Dragonfruit’s three textured panels and intricate edging pack a visual punch, whether made in solid, gradient, variegated, or slow-color-change yarn. Note that the original, pictured Dragonfruit was made in Jazz Handz Fusion Fiber yarn, but beautiful projects have been made from Drops Delight and many other yarns, including lace and sport weight. Currently on sale for Indie June!
