Fiery Dragon Scarf
I'm pleased to share this pattern with everyone. The inspiration for the scarf came directly from my son. He had been wanting a scarf all his own after watching me knit them for myself and others. I looked all over for a fun kid's scarf pattern...but such a thing just really didn't exist. This scarf, as knit, fits a 3 year old. You can adjust the length of the body to fit anyone in your family. I wanted the scarf to be comfortable, warm, and fun, yet practical. All of the features on the face are kid-safe. They are all sewn on with yarn or thread. There are no buttons or beads to fall off.
I would rate this project Intermediate-Advanced. The knitting itself isn't too hard...but there are lots of steps. I included extra photos in the pattern. I can post more here if more clarification is needed. I look forward to seeing everyone's interpretation of the pattern. This is my first design. It has been proofread by a professional knitting designer, but mistakes can happen. Please let me know if you find errors in the pattern, or something that could be improved or simplified.

Thanks for your pattern, it was terrific! I am a newbie knitter and that was the third project I tackled. I finished today the first dragon and I am going to make a second one to mail to Spain, for my nephew and my niece (twins, 2 year-old) They are going to adore it! It was easy to follow (despite my incompetence) and lots of fun. I knit a lot in the hospitals where I work as medical interpreter and everybody was fascinated! At Children's Hospital of Philly, I had a bunch of kids surrounding me! :o)
This was so fun to knit, thanks for putting this together. I have a question for you too--
The pattern is in a PDF file and I want to be able to post a PDF on my blog, how did you do that? If you don't mind I'd really appreciate the help on this. I'm at scribbit [at] gmail.com.
OMG, this is so cute! I can't wait to knit up a few! I am a newbie knitter, but the other poster has inspired me. :-)

Thanks for the pattern!!! My doughter loves her new scarf!
My son loves dragons and I'd love to make your dragon scarf. Unfortunately, my computer is messed up and won't allow me to open pdf files. Is there another way that you can send me the pattern?
