I used DK yarn and a 3 and a 4 mm hooks, but this pattern works with bigger yarn weights as well. You will need to size up your hooks to match it though. Using DK yarn, the dragon is roughly 26 cm long and 14 cm tall, and has a wingspan of about 24 cm.
The wings are made with a mix of regular crochet stitches and the tunisian simple stitch, but no prior knowledge of tunisian crochet is required to complete this plushie. I go over the process in detail, and I included plenty of phototutorials to make this easy to follow for someone who isn’t familiar with tunisian crochet/afghan

What you’ll need:

• a 3 mm and a 4 mm hook
• stuffing
• your preferred stitch markers
• a yarn needle (better if curved)
• one pair of 10 mm safety eyes
• fabric pins
• DK acrylic yarn in 2 main colors (red and light brown) + scraps of white for the claws. I used almost an entire 50gr skein of red with 140m/153yds of mileage. You need less than half of that in brown.
• about 20 cm of thick wire. Anything between 1.8mm and 2mm should work
