Crochet pattern “Pocket-size Flower Dragon”

The pattern contains 17 pages of instructional material accompanied by 120 photos.
Basic crochet skills are a prerequisite.

To crochet this Pocket-size Flower Dragon, you will need:

• Embroidery floss in Main Color, skein separated (stripped) into individual strands. (I use Iris Gamma or DMC brand cotton embroidery floss). May be substituted with thin sewing thread. The thinner the thread, the smaller the toy will turn out.
• Embroidery floss in Contrasting Color (looks especially pleasing when using a shade of the Main Color) for wings and crests.
• Remnant of black sewing thread or embroidery floss for nostrils.
• Rip-resistant thread for cinching. (I used sturdy sewing thread held double.)
• Crochet hook 0.5 mm [US Steel Crochet Hook Size 18] = please note that “0.6 mm” ist listed in the hook size field because there is no 0.5 mm size in the drop-down
• Glass toy eyes, diameter 2 mm [0.08 iches]. I order them from AliExpress. (What to do if eyes in this size are not available? You can make your own from polymer clay and cover them with a glossy enamel finish, or use seed beads.)
• Wire that holds its shape well, diameter 0.5 mm 0.02 inches.
• Glue gel, “Moment” brand super glue. (The glue needs to glue the pieces together sturdily and permanently.)
• Thin beading needle, diameter 0.45 mm [0.02 in]
• Sharp nail scissors, tailor pins, awl
• Stuffing (polyester fiberfil)
• A toothpick, broken felting needle or tweezers – used to insert stuffing.
• For blushing – watercolors and toothpick.
