After I got going I was displeased with the shade of green I had chosen but my sister was ok with it. I thought using Simply Soft yarn would make it softer but it really wasn’t. The patter is great, easy to read. I ended up doing my own thing for the underbelly as it wasn’t matching the rest of the dragon well. Several people that saw it asked if I would make them one! I suggested they learn to crochet themselves. This is a fun pattern, but I don’t really want to make it again. Three times was enough for me.
