Jack Frost, of DreamWorks 2012 movie ‘RISE OF THE GUARDIANS’, is a person who went through incredibly hard experiences of isolation, confusion, and bitterness. Yet in the end, he never lost his childlike optimism, that ability to see the ‘fun’ in everything.

“For though Sauron had passed, the hatred and evils he bred had not died, and the King of the West had many enemies to subdue before the White Tree could grow in peace. And wherever King Elessar went with war King Éomer went with him; and beyond the Sea of Rhûn and on the far fields of the South the thunder of the cavalry of the Mark was heard...

With the sequel of How to Train Your Dragon coming out in a few months, I thought now would be a good time to create a pattern for Astrid. A Viking girl always trying to prove that girls can be just as tough as the guys, (or more so), Astrid often needs Hiccup to bring out her lighter side.

My Dad gave me the idea to crochet a crucifix, but crocheting Jesus’ body in a beautiful and reverent way was beyond my skill. I then came up with the idea of crocheting His Sacred Heart.

How to Train Your Dragon was one of my favorite animated movies. After I wrote a pattern for Toothless, it was logical to write a pattern for his owner, Hiccup! However, Hiccup and Toothless are not to scale… Sorry about that! Hiccup would have been really small. Also, I made Hiccup’s artificial leg. You can just make two of the regular legs if...

How To Train Your Dragon is one of my favorite animated movies. So I decided to try and write a pattern for my favorite character: Toothless. Cool and cute at the same time, Toothless is my dream pet. I hope you enjoy making a dragon of your own!
