Hello friends! today I bring you another small shawl design (see the previous one here: Carrie Shawlette), but this time I made it using chunky yarn. when me and my girls were taking photos of the finished piece, I had yet to settle on a name for it, that’s when my daughter said jokingly that it looks like a coarse dragon tongue around her neck. I thought it was hilarious and decided to stick with the name Dragon Tongue. For the pattern I went with a simple one, with the addition of a small twist, enough to make it interesting, but still easy to work out. The size can be made larger by basically repeating the general pattern more times than what I chose to go with. This small wrap will keep you warm and cozy for the rest of this cold winter, plus It’s a super easy and quick project that takes less than a hundred yards of chunky yarn to knit. So, I hope you give it a try: make this shawlette in a short time and match it with your favorite jacket and hat. Have a nice knitting day!

Put one stm before the four middle sts, and one after them, then work as follows:
Row 5: k 1, yo, k to first stm, yo, k 4 sts together through back loops, k the same 4 sts together through front loops, yo, k to end.
Row 6: k 1, yo, k to first stm, p 1, sl st 2, p 1, k to end.
Row 7: (k 1, yo) twice, k to first stm, yo, k 4 sts together through back loops, k the same 4 sts together through front loops, yo, k to end.
Row 8: (k 1, yo) twice, k to first stm, p 1, sl st 2, p 1, k to end.
Repeat rows 5-8 once more. Remove both stm. Locate the eighteen middle sts of the row then put one stm before them and one after them.
Row 9: k 1, yo, k to first stm, yo, *k 4 sts together through back loops, k the same 4 sts together through front loops, yo, k 3, repeat from * once more, k 4 sts together through back loops, k the same 4 sts together through front loops, yo, k to end.
