Baby Dragon Amigurumi Pattern

by adorably kawaii

I designed this dragon amigurumi in 2009. I've used this pattern many times to create my
dragons. I've also had it tested by several people of different experience/skill levels for
errors and the clarity of the instructions. I hope you enjoy this pattern.

Size:
Approximately 4.5-5" (11-12.5cm) tall and 2.5-3" (6-7.5cm) wide from arm to arm. Results
will vary depending on your tension and your yarn & hook choice.

Note on Gauge/ Tension :

It's important to make sure the hook size you're using is the appropriate size for your
yarn as well as for your tension. Tension varies from person to person and from day to
day. It can change slightly throughout the project and result in larger or smaller stitches
and rows which can affect proportions and the overall size.

decrease – two stitches, yarn over, and draw yarn through all
three loops on the hook.
Slip stitch – Insert hook into the stitch, yarn over, draw up a
loop, and then draw through the loop on the hook.

Magic Ring:
A few inches from the end of the yarn, wrap two loops over your finger. While the loops
still on your finger, insert the hook from right to left into the loops and pull the working
yarn through.

Carefully take the loops off your fingers and chain one. This doesn't count as the first
stitch.

Insert the hook into the two loops again and pull up a loop. Yarn over and draw through
both loops. This counts as the first single crochet stitch. Continue for the rest of the
stitches. Then pull the yarn tail to close the hole.

Head:
With MC, 6 sc into magic ring.
