This dragon is simple, yet so cute! This dragon would be perfect to make in multiple colors, and you could definitely use variegated yarn with this pattern! I was so tempted to make his cute fella with big chunky yarn, but I ended up using regular yarn. I know he’d be extra cute and plush-like if you made him with chunky yarn!

Do you know approximately how many yards of yarn are needed for this project? I would be using #4 medium weight yarn. Thank you and have a good one! 🙂
I used a little under 4 yards for the body and about 2 for the wings and other parts
Oh my goodness! He’s so cute! I will definitly be making him soon. 😉
Wings are actually 13 rows, pattern is missing row 3
❤️ lovely pattern and love my little guy
Couldn’t wait to make this pattern! Have a question though. Round 8, sc inc* all the way around I made it 36 not 30? Am I miss counting somehow? Thankyou 😀
You have to Increase one stitch sc next stitch increase next stitch. So every other will be an increase an next will be a sc
I think it’s meant to be Row 8; *Inc, Sc in next 3 stitches* Repeat all the way around.
H, I just started making this adorable dragon and I think you have a typo in round 8 of the body. To increase the round from 24 to 30 it should be “Inc, Sc in the next 3 st” all around. Hopefully this will help prevent some confusion and frustration for others 🙂 thank you for your wonderful patterns!!
This looks so cute! I have noticed that rounds 66 and 67 of the body seem to be missing though. Should it be “Rounds 66-69” or “Rounds 66-67”?
Thanks!
hello, it means that you need to sc around during rounds 66, 67, 68 and 69 :)) (the – means TO, ex : from 66 to 69)
Wings – row 3 is skipped.
Is the numbering for the wings just off? Line 3 seems to be missing. Thanks
I love this dragon! I’m very much a beginner, and row 13 is very confusing for me. I did the first 9 SC in FLO, but I don’t understand what else to do in the row after that.
Thank you for you help:)
Im having the same issue. Did you ever get this figured out?
I believe it’s wants us to do *9 SC FLO, [INC, 2 SC] x6, 3 SC* (36)
Thank you this helped me so much!!
Im lost on row 13. The numbers don’t work out. I’ve tried to interpret what I’m doing wrong but to no avail. Some explanation would be great cuz I really love this pattern.
Ahhh I finally have the perfect yarn for this and row 13 has me stumped!
I love it so far! But row 14 of the wing has me very confused. I’m not sure what I’m missing! Does anyone know if there is a video tutorial or somewhere I can get more direction?
Took me a bit to figure it out but here it is:
-1 SlSt
-do this 4 times: 2 Dc in 1 st, 2 Dc in 1 st, 1 SlSt, 1 SlSt
-2 Dc in 1 st
-2 Dc in 1 st
-1 SlSt
I need some clarification on how to start the wings. Can anyone help?
Love this pattern and all your patterns🧶💜
Great pattern, and easy to put together. I just saw that there is a small typo (in the body with the increase) but I did report it
Pattern was easy to follow & came out super cute! Made one for my daughter! 💜😍
LOVE THIS
Aww thank you! 🙂
Also just finished my son one! These turn out too cute! 😌
So, my friend and I started this last night. As we were late into the night, we stopped at row 12 so my friend could go home. I decided to continue and finally figured out Row 13 (Long explanation: Single crochet in the first 9 stitches. In Front Loop Only {AKA: the outside loop} repeat “Increase 1 stitch, single crochet the next 2” 6 times. Working both loops, single crochet in the next 3 stitches.) However, as I got through row 15 (my stopping point for the night), I notice the markers for where the eyes are supposed to be are a bit weird. One (stitch 8) is 1/4 way up the left side and the other eye (stitch 15) is the halfway point of that row. And this is with the circle end point being directly on the bottom, which makes it look like it’s expanding properly. So, I am a bit confused about the placement of the eyes. If the working loop is at the bottom (after doing a whole row), then aren’t the eyes in the wrong place? And is the working loop at the end of the row is not the bottom of the dragon, then isn’t it expanding lopsided? (The gold pin at the bottom is the beginning/ed of my row, while the 2 silver pins are the markers for the eyes.)
I have the same issue, did you find a solution?
Did you figure this out? I was stumped too. I’m about to just omit the eye markers and figure it out myself once the head is done.
I am puzzled by this too.
I figured the eyes are supposed to be centered in the FLO-part? I’d place the on stitch 15 and 21 instead. Anyone else can confirm this?
I flipped it so the 3 SC were first, and the 9 were at the end. It’s a better match for the remaining rows of the head. It makes the beginning at the right side of the head if you’re looking at it. Then, on mine at least, the beginning went to the bottom as I was finishing the head and working toward the neck. By the time I got to the body, the beginning was on the bottom, which made sense with the expansion there.
This was a really fun pattern! I wanted a little ragamuffin dragon and I really like how it turned out. My baby really likes the horns and the spikes, as they feel a bit nipply. The pdf was really clear and easy to print and take with me. Thanks!
thank you for this pattern!! it turned out so well and colorful :))
thank you for this pattern!! it turned out so well and colorful 🙂
(thanks from France :P)
At row 13 do i have to make only the 9sc in flo or the inc, 2sc x6 in Flo too?
The first 9 and last 3 are normal sc’s,
Merci pour ce patron, il a fallu que je modifie 2-3 trucs pour m’adapter à l’épaisseur de ma laine !!!
I’m unsure about row 23 is the total number of stitches suppose to be 43 I have tried it a million different ways and can’t seem to come up with that number and not sure if I’m doing something wrong. TIA
I can’t figure out the last row of the wing. I noticed that row 3 was skipped so I added it and am ending with 22 stitches. But I can’t get the last row to wave like it shows in the pictures. What am I doing wrong?!
I can’t figure out the last row of the wings. How do the curved edges shape? I feel as if a DC in a round must be different than DC…. Is there a video somewhere or at least a final stitch count somewhere for this last row, then maybe I can figure it out.
Such a cute little pattern. I got stuck on the same areas as the others, but figured it out in the end. Perhaps the author should fix line 13 to make it more legible, and then correct lines 3/4 (row 3 being left out). Other than that, a fairly simple and easy pattern. The only thing I did differently was gave it some eye brows lol. I would totally make this again. I was able to finish it in a day.
*** I mean lines 3/4 under the ‘Wings’ section ***
These are the row yarn markers for where I crossed over. This is looking from the bottom. Again, when I started, the beginning was on the right side of the head (looking at it in the eyes), and as I worked, it moved to the bottom.
Absolutely adore this pattern, it worked great! I did make the mistake of using size 7 yarn which did make is adorable but also over 3 feet long and it used over 3 balls of yarn! Totally worth it though 🙂
Voilà, merci pour ce modèle
J ai remplacé les mailles serrés de la dernière ligne des ailes par des brides
Here’s my finished product!
Is this pattern done in a continuous circle? I’m new to amigurumiu.
Yes
It’s a really cute pattern! But the wings have me a little stumped, how do you skip a row?
I can say that I’m working on some new colors because he came out so cute. I found it challenging at certain parts, mostly row 13 and the subsequent expansion of the head, along with the eye placement (which I ended up choosing after the face was done). The rest was easy.
