Dragonflies in Amber Scarf/Shawl

Like dragonflies caught in amber, beauty and light preserved in every stitch.

Dragonflies in Amber – A Light and Lovely New Design

Say hello to Dragonflies in Amber 🧶✨
A light and flowing wrap or scarf, with just enough detail to keep things interesting. I wanted the dragonflies to really shine—so I worked them right into the glowing amber centre of the yarn.

About the Yarn

Cotton Kings Sultan Deluxe in Baltic Amber is a beautiful gradient that moves from rich, deep tones into a glowing golden centre. To make sure the dragonflies showed up in that amber shade, I started from the outside of the cake and worked inwards. (I did take off a few metres before the amber section to land the placement just right—worth it, I think!)
