You can find the pattern here: { Odile, the dragon...}
I want to share some changes I made for my dragon.
1. I used a 1.5 mm hook, 12 mm safety eyes, and 55% cotton, 45% acrylic yarn.
2. With dragon’s face I did the following:
- added whites to his eyes with a leftover white yarn;
- embroidered nostrils with darker color;
- indented the nose because, without it, the dragon reminded me of a cow.
3. Now let’s talk about the pattern itself:
- When I crocheted a body, it said to press the opening with my fingers and crochet together with sc. My last stitch was located in the middle of the dragon’s back. If I’d done what was said in the pattern, I would’ve connected only half of the stitches. Because of this, I crocheted a few slip stitches to move my yarn from the middle to the side.
- When we pressed the opening of the ears with our fingers and crocheted 6 sc through both sides, the pattern later says to curve the ears to sew them to the head. Instead, I pressed 6 sc we just made together once again, crocheting 3 sc through both sides.
- I crocheted wings from separate details, which I later connected to add a dark green border. If you want to do the same, you need to crochet the following:
Make 4, using the color of your choice (it’s creamy white in my case)…
Note: we’ll be working not in rounds, but from side to side.
1. Make 2 chain stitches. Crochet 4 sc in the second chain from the hook
2. 3 sc
3. 3 inc (6)
4. 6 sc
5. (1 sc, inc) x 3 times (9)
6. 9 sc
7. (2 sc, inc) x 3 times (12)
8. 12 sc
9. (3 sc, inc) x 3 times (15)
10. 15 sc
We have four details for the wings: for the two of them, you should cut the yarn off and weave the ends, while for the other two, do not cut the yarn because we’ll continue working with them.
Take one half with cut-off yarn and one with yarn still attached. Hold them together so that the wrong sides touch each other while the right ones face outward. From there on, we’ll be crocheting through both details:
11. 5 sc, 1 picot stitch on top of the previous stitch, 5 sc, another picot stitch on top of the previous stitch, 5 sc.
Cut the yarn off and weave the ends. Your wing is supposed to be connected only at the bottom.
Picot stitch = chain 3. Then crochet one sc on the first of those stitches (third chain from hook). Continue with the following stitches.
Now, we’ll be working with dark green yarn. Connect your yarn to the side where we just finished crocheting, and make sc through both halves along the two remaining sides. You should have 10 sc moving up, 3 sc in the top point, and 10 sc moving down, 23 sc in total. Cut the yarn off, leaving a long tail for sewing wings to the body.
You can also embroider lines with a dark green color, similar to the one in my photo.
