Crochet Pattern: Dragon (with video)

Crochet Pattern: Dragon
Several helpful videos are available to accompany the crochet instructions, clearly explaining the
individual steps and making it easier to follow along. The PDF file also contains over 100 images that
visually support the entire creation process.

2. Attaching the eyes and inserting the splint – Instructions for inserting the safety eyes and the splint

3. Fixing the smile – How to give the dragon a friendly face.

The dragons can look so different even when made from the
same crochet pattern – sometimes with horns, spots, and a scarf, and sometimes quite
simple without.
These adorable dragons are crocheted from soft chenille yarn and stand approximately
25 cm/10 inches tall. The final size may vary depending on the thickness of the yarn and
the crochet hook used—thinner yarn will result in a smaller dragon, while thicker yarn
will make a larger one. Feel free to use any yarn you like, just be sure to choose the right
hook size and have enough material.
The head is attached to the body using joint discs, allowing it to turn in different
directions. Alternatively, you can simply sew the head on—both methods are explained
in the pattern. The arms and legs are securely sewn to the body. The teeth and tongue
are crocheted from thin yarn and then sewn on.

The pattern does not contain basic course of crocheting – you should already have the basic knowledge.
The pattern includes 25 pages.
Difficulty: middle
Not for beginners.
