Materials and tools.
• For dark dragon are used Alize Cotton Gold 180 yards (165 meters)/50 grams (1.76 Oz). This is just 50% cotton, for the best quality I recommend 100%. Colors 382 Powder 100 gr, 58 Navy Blue 100gr, 446 dark powder less then 50 gr.
• Orange dragon is made of cotton threads, little thinner. Alize Bella 100% cotton 394 yards (360 meters)/ 100 grams. Colors 83 pumpkin 100 gr, 514 winter sky 100gr, 110 limon less then 50 gr, 76 beige less then 50 gr.
You can choose your style of the toy.
• Hook 1.25 mm or 1,5 mm depends on mark hook and style of your crocheting. I used Clover 1,5 mm. Choose the hook for yourself. Crocheting should be very, very tight. For the wings I recommend use little smaller size of the hook.
VERY IMPORTANT. This pattern is suitable only for crocheting in 2 colors!
• Filler holofiber for stuffing. I recommend lightweight filler, because the toy is big.
• Cotter pins and discs. Orange dragon o-form cotter pins 10 pieces 20x2,0 mm, discs 18 mm, 10 pieces. Dark dragon t-form cotter pins 5 pieces same size, discs 18 mm for front legs 4 pieces, 25 mm 6 pieces.
• Flat pliers and cutters for wire and helping with sewing legs and eyelids. Tweezers and wood sticks for stuffing.
• Steel wire frame 1,5 mm and 1 mm, and adhesive tape for wrap the frame. Imperatively recommend only thick steel wire, because in this case the frame should be very hard. And I am using cotton medical tape – plaster for wrapping the frame.
• Materials for painting.
• Soft pastel for the body and metallic acrylic paints for the eyes painting.
• Acrylic varnish for use with soft pastel.
• Brushes for painting, different sizes. Waterproof liners brown and orange for the orange dragon, brown and black for the dark dragon. If you choose another colors of yarn you should choose another suitable colors of liners. Look instructions for decorating first and choose your design.
• The painting with soft pastel is very perfect for 100% cotton threads. I don’t recommend paint on the 100% acrylic yarn, and don’t recommend acrylic yarn exactly.
• White polymer clay or suitable colors for making eyes, teeth and claws. You can take only white color and tint it or you can take original others color of polymer suitable with thread colors. I used white color and made orange and blue colors with soft pastel.
• And universal invisible glue, that not leave traces. I recommend Moment Crystal by Henkel.
• Glass hemispheres for the eyes, diameter 13-15 mm. Or ready glass eyes with narrow pupils.
• Needles for sewing eyelids, nostrils and edges of the wings.
• Silicone brush pen for sculpting and modeling.
• For desired use varnish for the sculpt details. I use UV gel polish and UV lamp.
