I jotted down the pattern for my dragon as best as I could, I did this free hand so there was a bit of trial and error, stitching and unraveling as I went along. I apologize, I don't have a lot of experience making my own patterns so there may be easier ways of making (and explaining) this.



We will be crocheting in spirals so use a stitch marker to mark the rounds. For all body parts leave a long strand after you tie (fasten) off for stitching the pieces together.



Here is the nomenclature that I used (these are US stitches see link for conversion to UK):



Rnd round

ch(s) chain stitch(s)

sc single crochet

dc double crochet

hdc half double crochet

tc triple crochet

sl st slip stitch

st stitch

sc2tog decrease by crocheting 2 stitches together



Head

In the primary red coloured yarn crochet the head.



Rnd1: Ch 2, work 6 sc in first chain from hook (6st)

Rnd2: 2sc in each (12st)

Rnd3: 2sc in first and 6th, sc in rest (14st)

Rnd4: 2sc in first and 7th, sc in rest (16st)

Rnd5-10: Sc in each (16st)

Rnd11: 2sc in first 8, sc in rest (24)

Rnd12-14: Sc in each (24st)

Rnd15: Sc in next 6, skip next, sc next two, skip next, sc next two, skip next, sc in rest (21st)

Rnd16: Sc in next 4, skip next, sc next two, skip next, sc next two, skip next, sc in rest (18st)

Rnd17: Sc in each (18st)

Rnd18: Either sc2tog in first and 9, sc in rest (16st) if you don't plan to put any electronics into the head or Sc in each (18st) -16st looks better when you connect the head to the torso but it is too narrow to stuff the electronic components into the head.





Ears

In the primary red coloured yarn crochet the ears (make two).



Rnd1: Ch4

Rnd2: Sc in first 3, turn, ch1

Rnd3: Sc in first 2, 2sc in next, sc in rest, turn, ch 1

Rnd4: Sc in first, sc2tog next, sc next, turn,

Rnd5: Sc 2, tie off



If you are wondering the nostrils appear in step 9.
