Baby Dragon Amigurumi Pattern by Adorably Kawaii - Detailed Crochet Instructions and Materials List

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.

Materials:

Worsted weight yarn in the color of your choice (main color) & white (contrasting color). Yarn suggestions: Lion Brand Vanna's Choice, Lion Brand Vanna's Choice Baby, Loops & Threads Impeccable Solids, Red Heart Soft Yarn, Caron Simply Soft.

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 yarnthrough.

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.
