Change yarn colors as guided below, when crocheting hdc increase with different
colors:
Yarn over, insert the hook into the stitch, and start crocheting half double crochet
but do not complete it. Grab the yarn of the second color with the hook and pull
it carefully so it does not tighten the head of the dragon. Pull the yarn through
three loops on the hook. Thus, we made hdc inc with two colors.
Rnd 8: 7 sc with A.c., 2 hdc inc with B.c., place a stitch marker, hdc inc with B.c.,
hdc inc with B. and A.c., 2 hdc inc with A.c., hdc inc with A. and B.c., hdc inc
with B.c., place a stitch marker, 2 hdc inc with B.c., 7 sc with A.c. (34)

Rnd 1: chain 2 and start crocheting in the second chain from hook 5 sc (5)
Rnds 2-3: 5 sc (5)
Rnd 4: inc, 2 sc, inc, 1 sc (7)
Rnd 5: 7 sc, sl st, try the horn on the head of the dragon before fastening the work.
Perhaps, you may want to increase it and crochet the additional 1-2 rounds. Break
yarn, secure, and stuff with fiberfill, shaping a small bend with the fingers.
Rnd 3: 5 sc, sl st (5) – break yarn and pull the tail through the loop with the hook.
Hide the yarn tail inside the spike using a wooden stick.
Turn to the 1st row and crochet 5 sl st to the side. Pull the working yarn through
the loop and cut it. Tie the tails into 2 knots.
Thread the needle with the sewing thread of the additional color and sew the chain,
as guided in the photo. Place the toy facing you. Sew it from the right to the left
eye, pulling the chain. Pay attention to the nose bridge. I sewed it two times,
making it less visible. Also, I made the additional stitches in the corners next to
the eyes. Please watch the detailed video.
Click the icon to watch the video: sew the chain to the head of the
dragon.
See the final result in the photo below. Everything is beautiful and symmetrical
from all sides. The thread of a different color is not visible.
Mark the position of the fins, pin them, and sew with the sewing thread matching
the color of our dragon. Try on the small spikes, pin them, and sew on both sides.
Attach the horns between rounds 15 and 17. The distance from the horns and sewn
chain is 1 sc.

Rnd 6: 12 sc (12)
Rnd 7: (1 sc, dec)*4 (8)
Rnd 8: 3 sc, inc, 2 sc, inc, 1 sc (10) – stuff the fingers with fiberfill (make sure,
that crocheted *inc, 2 sc, inc* are on the front part of the paw. Crochet shift stitches
if needed).
Rnds 9-10: 10 sc (10) – 2 rounds, stuff the upper part of the paw and shape the
bend of the paw using a wooden stick.
Rnds 14-15: 10 sc (10) – 2 rounds, stuff with fiberfill and shape the elbow of the
paw.
Rnd 16: 10 sc, crochet extra 2 sc, and move the marker to the middle on the
backside of the paw (10) – take a disk D=20 mm and T-split pin.
Put the disk onto the split pin and insert it in the middle on the side between rounds
15-16. Stuff the upper part of the paw gently.
Row 4: 6 sc, dec (Insert the hook between rounds 2-3 of the heel. Pull the working
yarn out and insert the hook in the next stitch of the 10th round of the foot, grabbing
the working yarn. There are three loops on the hook. Crochet 1 sc through them),
turn the work;
Row 6: 8 sc, dec (Insert the hook between rounds 2-3 of the heel. Pull the working
yarn out and insert the hook in the next stitch of the 10th round of the foot, grabbing
the working yarn. There are three loops on the hook. Crochet 1 sc through them),
turn the work and place a stitch marker. Make sure that the crochet direction in the
next row is similar to the crochet direction of the heel.
(See the photos on page 22).
Make sure that decreases in rows 12-13 are in the middle on the bottom part of the
heel and increases are in the middle above the foot on the front side. Crochet shift
stitches if needed.
Row 12: 2 sc, 2 dec, 3 sc, 2 inc, 1 sc (12) – stuff the foot.
Row 13: 1 sc, 2 dec, 3 sc, 2 inc, 2 sc (12)
Rows 14-15: 12 sc (12) – stuff the heel
Row 24: (1 sc, dec)*6 (12) – stuff the upper part of the paw.
Row 25: 6 dec, sl st – break yarn, tighten the hole with a tapestry needle. Secure
and hide the tail.
Crochet the second paw similarly and install the split pin joint on the opposite side.
Body, assembly:
Crochet with the basic color yarn. The stitch marker is in the middle on the
backside.
Rnd 1: chain 2 and start crocheting in the second chain from hook 6 sc (6)
Rnd 2: 6 inc (12)
Rnd 3: (1 sc, inc)*6 (18)
Rnd 4: (2 sc, inc)*6 (24)
Rnd 5: 24 sc (24)
Take the disk D=35 mm and the head of the dragon. Insert the split pin of the head
into the center of the first round of the body. Insert the split pin into the disk inside
the body and curl the ends with round-nosed pliers. Continue crocheting the body
following the pattern.
Rnd 6: 6 sc, place a stitch marker. Here, we will attach the upper paws. Crochet 12
sc, place the other marker for the second paw, 6 sc (24)
Rnd 7: (3 sc, inc)*6 (30)
Rnds 8-9: 30 sc – 2 rounds

Rnd 10: 9 sc, (1 sc, inc)*6, 9 sc (36)
Rnd 11: 36 sc (36)
At this stage, we will attach the upper paws.
Take the upper paws and 2 disks D=20 mm. Before attaching the paws, I
recommend stuffing the body and trying on the paws in the marked points
between rounds 6 and 7. If you are happy with their position, then attach the
paws to the body. If it seems a little high, then try on them lower and find the
best position. Remove the stuffing material from the body, insert the split pins
with the disks, and curl the ends using the pliers.
Attach the upper and bottom paws with knitting needles. If you are not satisfied
with their position then mark the new points. Thread a long tapestry needle with
a firm thread and insert it in the middle of the future tail. Draw it out at the
- Page 28 - Crochet pattern. Designed by Yana Yarunova 2023 @yarunovaˍtoys https://whiteartline.etsy.com
marked point of the legs. Pierce the needle between rounds 20 and 21 of the
bottom paws, grabbing 6 stitches. Make sure that these stitches are in the middle
on the side of the paw. Insert the needle into the body at the same point where
you have placed the marker, and draw it out at the point of the second marker.
Grab 6 sc of the second bottom paw similarly, insert the needle into the
body of our dragon (at the point of the second marker), and draw it out at the
point of the first marker. Pull the paw and repeat it one more time. After that,
draw the needle out to the position of the upper paws. Pierce the needle through
the upper paw between rounds 15 and 16, grabbing 3 sc. Make sure that these
stitches are exactly in the middle on side of the paw. Insert the needle in the body
at the point of the first upper paw and draw it out on the opposite side at the point
of the second paw.
Pull the thread and insert the needle in the second paw, grabbing 3 sc. Insert
the needle into the body at the point of the second paw and draw it out at the
point of the first paw. Repeat one more time, draw the needle out in the middle
of the tail, tie the thread into two knots, and cut the excess thread. Try on the tail
and sew it.
