Product Description
With this pattern you can make young dragons based on Daenerys Targaryen's dragons, Drogon, Rhaegal and Viserion, when they were still fairly small. They are designed to go with the pattern to make Daenerys, which is available separately (please note: the details to make Daenerys Targaryen are not included in this pattern).
The pattern is suitable for crocheters with a little experience. The instructions are detailed and easy to follow if you know the basic stitches and techniques used to make amigurumi. They are written in English using US crochet terms, and the list of abbreviations includes the UK alternatives.
You will need the following approximate amounts of DK yarn:
Main colour yarn (C1) - 10g.
Secondary colour yarn (C2) - 5g.
Drogon: C1 dark grey yarn, C2 red yarn.
Rhaegal:C1 pale green yarn, C2 russet yarn.
Viserion: C1 light gold yarn, C2 russet yarn. Small amount of light beige yarn for horns.
Young Dragon Amigurumi by Lucy Collin
What Is Being Made
This downloadable crochet pattern allows you to create three distinct dragon amigurumi designs inspired by fantasy literature: Drogon, Rhaegal, and Viserion. Each finished dragon stands approximately 8 cm (3 inches) tall, making them compact decorative toys or collectible pieces. The dragons are designed as companion pieces to a separate Daenerys amigurumi pattern, allowing crafters to build an entire character collection.
Craft and Technique Overview
Amigurumi is a Japanese crochet technique that creates three-dimensional stuffed toys through a series of tightly worked stitches. This intermediate-level project requires understanding how to construct seamless, dimensional forms by increasing and decreasing stitches strategically. The technique involves working in continuous rounds to build the dragon's body, head, wings, and other features before assembly.
Stitches Used
While the PDF excerpt does not detail every individual stitch, amigurumi patterns typically employ fundamental crochet stitches including single crochet for tight, dense fabric construction. The pattern uses increases and decreases to shape the three-dimensional dragon form. Crafters should be comfortable with reading amigurumi abbreviations and following stitch counts through multiple rounds.
