Dragonfly
Designed by Sylvia Leake
This delightful dragonfly is a favourite with youngsters and adults alike. It looks great on the front of sweaters (or dresses for the girls) and the back of jackets; add stripes to the welts and cuffs, in the same colour as the dragonfly's body for a co-ordinated finish!
The dragonfly could also be used on pillows, cushions, afghans, blankets or throws. The garment photographed was knit using 4ply/sport weight yarn in a cotton/acylic mix. The motif is worked using the intarsia method (from chart) and stranding over small number of stitches. Use separate balls or bobbins as required, twisting yarns when changing colour to avoid a hole. When working from chart, read odd rows (knit) from Right to Left and even rows (purl) from Left to Right.
Chart: 67 stitches x 57 rows
Suggested shades: Purple/Crocus (main colour) Azure Blue Gold/Primula Haze Blue
