When A Dragonfly Whispers… Your New Favourite Scarf!
Designing is a never-ending adventure!
One small idea can quickly grow into a cluster of new designs—and that’s exactly what happened with When a Dragonfly Whispers.
It all began with the Dragonfly Tranquility Blanket. From there, I realised I could turn the motif into a scarf, three dragonflies wide, with gently undulating edges. That became Softly Softly My Dragonfly Scarf.
But my brain didn’t stop there. Those same thoughts kept swirling, evolving into When a Dragonfly Whispers Scarf. I love how this design works up quickly, with a subtle step to the left as each dragonfly is added, giving it a unique flow.
The scarf is lightweight, wearable, and easily adjustable for length. You can use almost any yarn to create a wider or finer version—I used Cascade Pima Ultra Cotton DK.
The pattern includes a fully written guide and a symbol-style graph of a reduced section, plus photos showing rows and special stitches.
Finished dimensions: 15cm / 5.9 inches wide by 205cm / 80.7 inches long—a perfect layering piece.
One of my testers, Tamara Dixon, loved it so much she made three scarves. Honestly… one will never be enough!
