Pattern notes
Dragon uses a combination of amigurumi method (working in a spiral without closing each round with a ss) and working back and forth in rows (turn after each row). It is worked using double stranded yarn (two strands of yarn held together; crochet with both). Body is worked from tail up to neck, then Head, Wings, Eyes, Horns and Legs are made and attached at end. Cc in last yoh of st before change as folls: insert hook in st, yoh, pull up
1 loop in previous colour, yoh in new colour and draw new colour
through all loops. Throughout Body section ch sts are not worked into, they are left hanging across inside of work. Except on Rows 3-5 of Wing, work all dc2tog as invisible decs as folls: (insert hook in flo of next st/sp) twice, yoh, pull up loop, yoh, draw
through all loops.
