Dragons love Christmas too! This adorable dragon is hugging a Christmas ornament just like how dragons hug onto orbs! While this is a great pattern for Christmas, you can also make this pattern for anytime of year simply by not making the ornament’s grey top. This pattern is perfect for any fantasy lover in your life!

This pattern is easy! We start by making the head, which leads into the body and tail as one continuous piece. After that, we make the face pieces, arms, legs, and ornament. Let’s get started!
