Baby Dragon Amigurumi
Hello! :) I hope you enjoy this pattern! I tried very hard to make this pattern as accurate and easy to understand as possible! I've had it tested by several people of different skill/experience levels for errors, the clarity of the instructions, and the photography. I made the felt piece template by taking a photo of my pieces and tracing them in Photoshop. I printed out the page and resized the pieces in Photoshop until they came out the same size as my own pieces. I have also used the printed page templates many times. Please email me with any questions and comments: theearlessowl@gmail.com

Note: The pieces for the wings appear to not align properly, but you are to sew the pieces into place. I made them this way for easier cutting as well as to save some felt. Hold the big gray and black piece together (with the gray facing you) and then sew the bottom outlining piece onto the wings with running stitches through both the gray and black felt. Then sew two black vertical pieces in the middle only through the gray felt. Sew the top black outlining piece through both the gray and black felt。 Sew the head onto the body. Sew the wings onto the back of the dragon, right below the head.
