Crocheted micro-dragon

What you'll need

• Fine-weight yarn, 2 colours
• 2.25mm crochet hook
• Small amount of stuffing
• Safety eyes or embroidery thread
• Yarn needle

Fits

Index finger, adult or older child hands (small parts unsuitable for young children).

Steps

1. Crochet the body as a tapered tube, working in the round from tail to snout.
2. Add a light stuffing as you go, keeping the shape slim enough to fit a finger.
3. Crochet four small triangular spines separately and attach along the back.
4. Crochet two wings flat, then stitch to the body at a slight upward angle.
5. Attach safety eyes or embroider simple features onto the snout.
6. Weave in all ends and steam-block gently to help the wings hold their shape.
