Dimetrodon

If you’re seeking a unique and stylish knitting project, look no further than the Dimetrodon Shawl pattern. Inspired by the striking sail of the prehistoric reptile, this shawl features a large, eye-catching sail-like structure that is as functional as it is beautiful. The ribbed “bones” extend vertically from the long cast-on edge, while a delicate, lacy “skin” elegantly fills in the gaps, creating a stunning visual effect. With carefully executed stepped decreases, this shawl takes on a lovely bell shape, reminiscent of its namesake’s impressive sail. Plus, like the Dimetrodon itself, this shawl is completely reversible, providing you with two stylish options for wearing!
