* This pattern is for your personal use only. Do not sell, share, or distribute this
pattern in any way. Feel free to sell handmade items from this pattern in a limited

● This pattern includes a couple different ways to make your baby dragon, with 2
different types of wings, and 3 different head ornamentations.
● Instead of buying round markers, I use scraps of yarn to mark the beginning of
each round. In some pictures you might notice a marker.
● This pattern is written in US crochet terms.
● All rounds in this pattern are worked continuously, not in joined rounds. In
other words, each round is worked directly after another so there is no visible
seam on the outside.
● Feel free to message me on Etsy with any questions you may have!
● Measurements (Made with suggested yarn and hook): Height - 5’’/13cm, Full
Wingspan - 7’’/18cm (Feather Wings - 10=/25cm)
Materials
● Recommended hook size - 3.75 (F) crochet hook
● 6 mm safety eyes
● Light Worsted weight (3) or Sport weight (2) yarn in any color(s)
○ Approximate yarn amount - 75 yds
○ You can use any size yarn instead of the recommended size, but I cannot
guarantee that your project will turn out exactly the same as intended
due to the natural spiral of the crochet rounds. Change your safety eye
size to match your yarn if needed.
● Yarn needle and pins
● Scissors and Stufûng
● (Optional) Wire- around 18 gauge wire is recommended, but any size wire is ûne
as long as it's strong enough, and wire cutters if needed.
○ Note- To reuse, I sometimes use old wire or wire taken out from old
spiral-bound notebooks. Just straighten the wire after removal, and then
you can use it or wrap it around other wire to create stronger pieces.
