Ruby
Introducing Ruby, the charming seadragon, a delightful knitting pattern designed to be worked seamlessly in the round from its tail to its head. Perfect for knitters of all skill levels, this pattern helps you create a whimsical marine creature that will surely catch the eye of everyone around.
The lobes of Ruby are crafted separately and are sewn on to add an extra layer of personality and uniqueness to your finished piece. You'll love the creative freedom that this design allows as you decide how to shape and position the lobes for a truly one-of-a-kind seadragon.
For this adorable project, you'll need worsted weight yarn in two beautiful colors: bright Red for the main color (MC), requiring about 100 to 120 yards, and a warm Brown for the contrasting color (CC), which will need around 20 to 30 yards. This cozy yarn selection ensures your Ruby seadragon will not only be visually stunning but also soft to the touch.
Gather your crafting essentials, including a yarn needle, scissors, stitch markers, and polyester fiberfill (one small bag should suffice). You'll also need a small amount of black yarn to complete the whimsical details of your seadragon. The recommended needle size for this project is DPN US # 5/3.75mm, so be sure to assemble a set of five or use your favorite needles that are suitable for knitting in the round.
This delightful seadragon project is perfect for those looking to enhance their skills in knitting in the round and mastering the I-cord technique. Whether you're creating it as a charming gift, a playful addition to your home decor, or simply for the joy of knitting, Ruby is sure to become a treasured creation. Dive into this fun knitting adventure and bring Ruby the seadragon to life!
