finish:
You could either take beads as eyes or stitch them onto the head with yarn in the colour of your choice. I prefer to stitch the eyes, because then there is no hard part on the dragon. At last you need to fix the legs and wings on the body. I prefer to use thick yarn or floss to do it. I always take the to front legs and fix them together, using a long needle to get the yarn through the body. For the wings it would be best to take a light yarn in the apropriate colour to fix them on the body. I usually fix them so that there remains a bit space between the back-tines and the wing. \* ,uneven" Rounds, these rounds have more stitches than the sum of stitches to get back to an even picture.
