Dragon Scales

Well, I finally finished the Dragon Scale top. Point of fact, it is actually called the “Icy Blue Shell” from Creative Knitting (July 2007 issue) but honestly, how boring does that sound? Anyway, on top of changing the name I also changed the needle size and the yarn used. I truely loved knitting this top! it was interesting without being overly involved and it was fast, albeit it took me about a month to finish because I am a slow and multi project knitter (not to mention the whole FROG session).

Pattern: Dragon Scales Top i.e. “Icy Blue Shell” from Creative Knitting, July ‘07 issue
Yarn: Knit One Crochet Two “2nd Time Cotton” (I think it was 3 skeins) Color: Atlantis
Needles: 24″ and 16″ circulars size 8
Size was for 34″ bust but I used the count for the medium in the magazine to get gauge
Skill level: Easy

With modifications on the yarn and the needle size, this top turned out great. I would recommend it to any knitter who wants a simple tank top with a nice level of interest given by the dragon scales pattern. A quick note on the yarn: I love it! great choice for cotton because the small amount of acrylic in it give it a nice weight and a nice feel. I will definately use this yarn again for summer weight tops.

Well, hope you enjoyed it. Make it if you get the chance. I wore it to work today and it is very comfortable and the yarn is quite cool. I give this a 5 star rating *****
