Notes

So glad this pattern became available.
The design is very well written.
Thanks, Ms. Julie!

Have the perfect yarn and colors for them.

Making two!
Smaller one:
stitches as written, single str, one color, smaller hook.
legs as written and stitched the inner area to create a curved leg.

Bigger one:
stitches as written, double str, one color, larger hook.
made all four legs as directed for the front legs of Komodo Dragon.

Embroidered accent color for patterning.
Turned out kind of ethnic / art deco!

The buttons for the eyes are matte, so they don’t show up in the pictures.

Embroidered a line for the mouth.
Didn’t make a tongue.
