+Dragonscale Shawl
+=================
+
+Materials
+---------
+
+Yarn
+^^^^
+
+The classic choice for this would of course be lace-weight or fingering
+yarn, but sport or DK weight worked with bulky needles may also be fun.
+
+Needles
+^^^^^^^
+
+A pair of long straight needles or a circular, in a size significantly
+bigger than the yarn.
+
+Directions
+----------
+
+First triangle
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Long tail cast on a multiple of 6 :term:`sts`.
+
+row 1 (:term:`ws`):
+   :term:`k` until 3 :term:`sts` from the end of the row, turn work;
+row 2: (:term:`rs`):
+   :term:`k` 3, insert dark marker, :term:`k` all :term:`sts`;
+row 3:
+   :term:`k` until the dark marker, remove marker, turn work;
+row 4n:
+   :term:`k` 3, insert dark marker, :term:`k` 1, (:term:`k2t`
+   :term:`yo`) until 4 :term:`sts` remain, :term:`k` 4;
+row 4n + 1:
+   :term:`k` until the dark marker, remove marker, turn work;
+row 4n + 2:
+   :term:`k` 3, insert dark marker, :term:`k` 1, (:term:`k2t`
+   :term:`yo`) until 3 :term:`sts` remain, :term:`k` 4;
+row 4n + 3:
+   :term:`k` until the dark marker, remove marker, turn work;
+
+Repeat the last four rows until you are left with 6 :term:`sts`; the
+number of :term:`sts` on the fourth row will decrease by 6 at every
+repeat.
+
+row 4k (:term:`rs`):
+   :term:`k2t`, :term:`yo`, :term:`k` 4;
+row 4k + 1 (:term:`ws`):
+   :term:`k` 3;
+row 4k + 2:
+   :term:`k` 3;
+row 4k + 3:
+   :term:`k` all :term:`sts` until the beginning of the row (the same
+   number of :term:`sts` that were originally cast on;
+row 4k + 4:
+   :term:`k` all :term:`sts`;
+    
+Second triangle
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+row -1 (:term:`ws`):
+   :term:`k` until 12 :term:`sts` from the end of the row, add a light
+   marker, turn work;
+row 0: (:term:`rs`):
+   :term:`k` 3, insert dark marker, :term:`k` 1, (:term:`k2t`
+   :term:`yo`) until 4 :term:`sts` remain, :term:`k` 4, add a dark
+   marker, twisted purlwise cast-on 12 :term:`sts`;
+row 1:
+   :term:`k` 12, pass marker :term:`k` until next dark marker, remove
+   marker, turn work;
+row 2:
+   :term:`k` 3, insert dark marker, :term:`k` 1, (:term:`k2t`
+   :term:`yo`) until 1 :term:`sts` before the next dark marker,
+   :term:`k` 1, remove marker, :term:`k` 12;
+row 3:
+   :term:`k` until the dark marker, remove marker, turn work;
+row 4n:
+   :term:`k` 3, insert dark marker, :term:`k` 1, (:term:`k2t`
+   :term:`yo`) until 4 :term:`sts` remain, :term:`k` 4;
+row 4n + 1:
+   :term:`k` until the dark marker, remove marker, turn work;
+row 4n + 2:
+   :term:`k` 3, insert dark marker, :term:`k` 1, (:term:`k2t`
+   :term:`yo`) until 3 :term:`sts` remain, :term:`k` 4;
+row 4n + 3:
+   :term:`k` until the dark marker, remove marker, turn work;
+
+Repeat the last four rows until you are left with 6 :term:`sts`; the
+number of :term:`sts` on the fourth row will decrease by 6 at every
+repeat.
+
+row 4k (:term:`rs`):
+   :term:`k2t`, :term:`yo`, :term:`k` 4;
+row 4k + 1 (:term:`ws`):
+   :term:`k` 3;
+row 4k + 2:
+   :term:`k` 3;
+row 4k + 3:
+   :term:`k` all :term:`sts` until the beginning of the row (the same
+   number of :term:`sts` that were originally cast on;
+row 4k + 4:
+   :term:`k` all :term:`sts`;
+    
+Further triangles
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Continue working like the second triangle until the shawl is as long as
+you want.
