Big, beautiful and a bit sparkly, this dragon is a truly mythical make. For a smaller fire breather, use 4ply yarn and a smaller hook.

NOTES

Pattern is worked in the amigurumi style. Work stitches in a continuous spiral without closing off each round with a slip stitch. You may find it helpful to mark the first stitch of the round, moving the marker up as you work. The Head, Body and Tail are made in one piece. All other parts are made separately and sewn together as you go.

DRAGON

HEAD, BODY AND TAIL

Using a 6.5mm hook and Planetary Purple Sparkle, make a magic loop.
