HEAD

Using green yarn, 

Chain 7 (this is the foundation chain)
R1: Starting from second chain from hook, Sc 6 in back loops of foundation chain.  Turn and Sc 6 in front loops of the foundation chain [we are making an oval by crocheting around the chain].  (12 sts)

***To see a step-by-step tutorial on how to crochet around a foundation chain, please see HERE!

R2: *Sc 1, 2 sc in next sc*, rep 6 times. (18 sts)
R3: *Sc 2, 2 sc in next sc*, rep 6 times. (24 sts)
R4: *Sc 3, 2 sc in next sc*, rep 6 times (30 sts)
R5: *Sc 4, 2 sc in next sc*, rep 6 times (36 sts)
R6-8: Sc 36
R9: *Sc 5, 2 sc in next sc*, rep 6 times (42 sts)
R10: *Sc 6, 2 sc in next sc*, rep 6 times (48 sts)
R11: *Sc 7, 2 sc in next sc*, rep 6 times (54 sts)
R12-R16: Sc 54
R17: *Sc 7, dec 1*, rep 6 times (48 sts)
R18: Sc 48
R19: *Sc 4, dec 1*, rep 8 times (40 sts)
R20: *Sc 2, dec 1*, rep 10 times (30 sts)

Position safety eyes and embroider mouth and fang.
R21: *Sc 1, dec 1*, rep 10 times (20 sts)

Stuff head firmly.

R22: *Dec 1*, rep 10 times (10 sts)
R23: *Dec 1*, rep 5 times (5 sts)

Fasten off and weave in end.  Cut two oval pieces of pink felt and glue onto face as cheeks.

WINGS (make 2)

– Cut out two isosceles triangles from beige felt.
– Using same yarn as head, cut 5 pieces of yarn for each wing and splay them outwards from the tip of the triangle.
– Using fabric glue, secure the yarn in place.
– Trim the felt cutting from one piece of yarn to the next and then scallop the edges between the yarn pieces.
– Secure wings onto the Dragon’s head using a glue gun.

HORNS (make 4: 2 small, 2 large)

Cut the following shapes out of dark brown felt.  Apply glue with a glue gun and roll into cone shapes (similar method here).  Make two larger cones for the back and two smaller cones for the front.  Glue them onto Dragon’s head.

LEGS (make 2) + BODY

Using green yarn,
R1: 6 Sc in magic ring (6 sts)
R2: 2 sc in each sc around (12 sts)
R3: Sc 12

For the first leg, fasten off (no need to leave long end for sewing).  For the second leg, do not cut off the yarn.  Chain 1 and join with slip stitch to any sc on first leg.  *Slip stitch in next sc around on same leg, Chain 1, then slip stitch to next sc on opposite leg*, rep 3 times.

The stitch count gets a little messy with these joins, so I single crocheted around the legs and joins for Row 4 as follows:

R4: Sc 22
R5-12: Sc 22

Fasten off and leave long end for sewing.  Stuff body and sew to head.

ARMS (make 2)

Using green yarn,
R1: 6 sc in magic ring. (6 sts)
R2-4: Sc 6

Fasten off and leave long end for sewing.  Attach to sides of body.

TAIL

Using green yarn,
R1: 4 sc in magic ring. (4 sts)
R2-3: Sc 4
R4: *Sc 1, 2 sc in next sc*, rep 2 times (6 sc)
R5: *Sc 2, 2 sc in next sc*, rep 2 times (8 sc)

Fasten off and leave long end for sewing.  Attach to bottom-back of Dragon to help give him balance.  If you want your Dragon to appear like he is leaning back and about to give out a puff of fire, angle the tail upwards.

Adding scaled detailing to body:

– Cut out above shape from beige felt.  Wrap tan embroidery floss around felt piece applying glue dots on the back along the way to secure the floss in place.  Glue felt piece with embroidery floss onto body of Dragon when complete.
