Last year I went to a sewing workshop and one woman there could not imagine what a crocheted dragon could look like. So, in the evening, I made her one.

Many thanks to snuffykin for proofreading and testing the pattern!

yarn in two colors, appropriate hook, filling material. I used cotton with a 3mm hook.

Size depends on the yarn; mine is about 5cm (2inches) high.

Gauge is not important for this project.

All pieces are stuffed while crocheting (except arms, ears and spikes which are not stuffed at all). All yarn ends are hidden by pulling them into the softie.

BODY AND HEAD (make 1)

Work in spiral rounds. Make increases and decreases evenly in a round.

Start with magic loop or ch2 and work sts of Round 1 in 1st ch.

Round 1: Sc 6.

Round 2: Sc 2 in each st around. 12sc

Round 3: Increase six sts. 18sc

Rounds 4 - 6: Sc in each st around. 18sc

Round 7: Decrease six sts. 12sc

Round 8: Decrease six sts. 6 sc

Start of Head. Note: It gets stuffed a little less than the Body and yes, the Head is larger than the Body.

Round 9: Sc 2 in each st around. 12sc

Round 10: Increase six sts. 18sc

Round 11: Increase six sts. 24sc

Rounds 12 - 15: Sc in each st around. 24sc

Fasten off, leaving a tail of a few centimeters. Thread tail onto yarn needle and insert yarn through top front loops of last 6 sts. Pull tail tight to close hole.

Nose / Snout: Take a piece of yarn and thread onto yarn needle. Weave yarn through the stitches on side of head. Work yarn in a path shaped like a circle or 0. Pull yarn tight to make the snout shape.

Optional Hat:
I purchased a St Patty Glitter hat. You can purchase this hat from Michaels Arts and Crafts or Joanns Crafts. You can use the optional hat or crochet a green bow for the ear.

If you use the hat, apply a small amount of glue around rim (just on the part that will be on the head and will not show). Place hat on head and allow to dry. Make sure the glue is completely dried before you sew the ears. Once the hat is glued, attach the ears just below the hat.

If you use the bow, sew ears and attach bow to one ear.
