Dragonscale Christmas Tree Light Pattern

Here is my pattern for Dragonscale Christmas Tree Lights.

This is not a step by step tutorial. You will need to know how to weave Dragonscale to make these. I have made them in various sizes, so I’m not going to list specifics. Your favorite Dragonscale jump ring size combination should work just fine.

Dragonscale Christmas Tree Light Diagram:

Each square of the diagram represents a pair of jump rings (1 Large jump ring + 1 Small jump ring).

Weaving Directions:

Orient the start of your weave as shown below.

This section represents the socket.  Following the diagram above, continue weaving along the top edge to complete the bulb.

Notes:

Choose 1 Main Color (red used in diagram).

Choose 1 “Glow” Color (pink used in diagram).

Choose your favorite Dragonscale jump ring size combination and weave away!

Use 1 Extra-Large jump ring to gather the jump rings at the socket end of the bulb.
