Discontinued. This digital pattern is no longer available online.

The griffin’s wings are supported with silver colored copper wire, wrapped with yarn to match the crochet work, like how I make the dragon’s wings. It stands about nine inches/twenty-two cm at the top of its wings.

This pattern is 9 pages long with extensive pictures of the process included. Both USA and UK stitch term versions are included in the download.
