This handmade colorful knit dragon was a birthday gift for a 3 year old boy.
This cute and cuddly fantasy dragon was knit by hand using my own original pattern, making him a unique, one of a kind creation. I used purple acrylic yarn for his body, arms, legs, and tail. His belly and the underside of his tail, along with the area around his eyes, was knit using bright yellow acrylic yarn.
The triangular spines running down his back and tail were knit from bright red acrylic yarn. I made his wings by sewing together purple and red felt and sewing veins to help them hold their shape without the use of any wires.
I used yellow plastic safety eyes with locking washers to make this toy child safe. The dragon is stuffed with polyester fiberfill and is very soft and huggable.
This fantasy creature measures about 15 inches long (from his toes to the tip of his tail) and 15 inches tall to the top of his red forehead spine.
I love fantasy and all the creatures that can be found in that magical world, especially dragons. I wanted to challenge myself to create a knit dragon in bright colors that children would like. I made the pattern up as I went along and actually surprised myself with the final creature!
Thanks for stopping by!
