To use this Madelinetosh Dragon Lore Shawl Kit, first, grab the pattern from the designer's Ravelry page. You'll need to get your own US Size 3 (3.25 mm) 32' and 47' circular needles and US 1 (2.25 mm) 47' circular needles. Don't forget to gather the notions like a row counter, stitch markers, tapestry needle, leather tassels, and magnetic snaps. When knitting, take your time with each stitch to make the dragon - scale pattern look great. As for care, when the shawl is done, gently hand - wash it in cool water and lay it flat to dry. Keep it away from sharp objects to avoid snagging the beautiful stitches.
