Materials
4 ply worsted weight cotton crochet yarn,
1 ball solid
1/4 ball variegated or contrast color
size G crochet hook
Using 100 % cotton yarn (I chose Peaches N Creme because it's softer than the others that I know)
And a size G crochet hook,
ch 41 (stitches are in sets of 8 plus 5 ch for beg st and turn)
Row 1: dc in fifth ch from hook *skip next 3 chs, 5 dc in next ch, skip next 3 chs, (dc, ch 1, dc) in next ch; repeat from * across
Row 2: ch 3 (counts as first dc) turn; 2 dc in next ch-1 sp. skip next 3 dc, (dc, ch 1, dc) in next dc, * 5 dc in next ch-1 sp, skip next 3 dc, (dc, ch 1, dc) in next dc; repeat from * across to last sp, 3 dc in last sp.
Row 3: ch 4, turn; dc in first dc, * 5 dc in next ch-1 sp, skip next 3 dc, (dc, ch-1, dc) in next dc; repeat from * across.
Repeat rows 2 and 3 for pattern, until cloth is same length on all sides. You can check this by folding the cloth on the diagonal to see if all sides meet evenly. (Of course, you can also measure it to check that the sides are all the same but I'm too lazy to look for my ruler and folding my work is SO much easier. ha.)
When cloth is square, fasten off main color and weave in ends.
Round 1 Edging: Attach contrast/variegated color with sc. Sc in each st across, evenly down left side into ends of rows and stitches, across bottom into unused loop of beg ch, and evenly up right side into ends of rows and stitches as you did for left side. sl st to beg sc to join, ch 1.
Round 2 Edging: Sc in same sc as joining, dc in next sc, tr in next sc, dc in next sc, sc in next sc, following the same sc, dc, tr, dc, sc, across (one st per each sc) and around corners
Fasten off, weave in ends.

@ both anonymous:
You're very welcome, it's my pleasure! You'll love stitching these up, they are interesting, beautiful, and fun to make. Have a great time and thanks for the kudos. I can always use a good kudo. =)
this pattern looks really interesting. i havent made any yet but i plan to make some in the same color but give them away as dishcloths.
Nice pattern! I love this stitch, it goes along easily and quickly as you said. Thanks for posting it, I was trying to remember how to make the snapdragon stitch, I lost my booklet. This was a big help to me. Thanks again, Cathy P.
its awsome. thanks for the pattern
I finally found snapdragon pattern. I can not read the instructions properly what she wrote down for triangle shawl. I try to write it, pthh very confusing. It is way too much writing like diahhria. Now that I found this instructions (pattern) and I understand. It is so gorgous for a shawl. Now I'll be starting on that right now. lol Ingrid T
Hi Ingrid T,
I am LOLing at your comment, "It is way too much writing like diahhria" LOL!!! I've never heard (or seen) anyone put it quite like that. Good one, I'll have to remember that! I'm very glad this pattern is going to work for you, please do let me know when you've finished your shawl I'd love to see it finished.
