Dense
Dragon scales stitch
Shells and picots form a dense, eye-catching fabric. Its beautiful, scale-like look recalls dragon or fish scales and fits whimsical, fantasy-inspired projects. The rows of shells and picots can be worked in different colors and types of yarn, so the stitch is a good way to experiment.
