This is going to be a gift for my Dragon Boat coach. If I can figure this pattern out. I picked team colors, and plan to stick with just two colors.

Finished! The pattern has a few typos, and it sure has a LOT of seams. Some people have worked out how to knit pieces in the round. For small bits, I find it just as fast to knit flat and quickly seam since starting a small diameter object can be fiddly at the start. There are enough photos that the written instructions to go with them are fairly easy to interpret. One thing I wish I’d done differently is stuff the neck more firmly. The head is a bit wobbly, though adding the spine ridge helps.

A couple of small mods:

• I knit the spine ridge and head comb as one unit instead of casting them on separately.
• Added a row of running stitches around the middle of the head to sharpen the definition between the head and the snout.

So stinkin’ cute!
