Dreamy Dragonfly

Dreamy Dragonfly is a peaceful moment of a dragonfly resting on flowers that gently sway in the wind. Whether you complete the blanket in fresh, pastel spring colours, bright, warm summer colours or rich, earthy autumnal colours this magical design will capture the attention of all who see it. Considered a symbol of good luck all homes should have a dragonfly in them.

A chart pattern and a written pattern are provided.

Dragons, crochet and excel spreadsheets are some of my favourite things so I love to bring them together to design blanket patterns and then crochet them. Sometimes pictures other than dragons appear too.

I hope you enjoy making this blanket as much as I did and I would love to see your versions.

Difficulty level is medium

There are several special stitches that have additional instructions and videos you can follow to help learn them.
