A really cute toy dragon - make him friendly with a long red tongue, or in a fiery temper with flaming breath! Looks great in different colours.

He takes about 65 gms main colour, 20 gms contrast and 5 gms red - all 8 ply/DK, and stands about 25 cms tall.

Note: as the eyes used here are not safe for children under 3 years, please make him for older children or substitute safety eyes.

Not recommended for absolute beginners, better for those who have some knitting and toy-making experience. However, all the instructions are here, if you want to give it a go!

The pattern is written with as much detail as possible; info on how to do short row shaping and i-cords are included.
