I have to admit that I’ve been working on this guy for awhile. It definitely not an immediate gratification type crochet project, but I think it was finally worth the effort. This pattern is from FreshStitches.com and is called “Choose Your Own Dragon Adventure.” You are provided with options in the pattern so you sort of design your finished dragon. Tails, scales, wings, and so on are items you select and decided which to use. The original pattern is also a little involved because it has you use two colors for the body so that the tummy is a different color than the rest of the body, but as you can see, I didn’t do that. The darker green yarn is leftover from a previous project, so I was not sure if I had enough. Plus, by just using one color, it made the whole project a little faster and easier for me.
Now that I made it through this pattern….finally!….I’m thinking of making a second one. I am not sure if I have enough of the yarn left from this one to make an entire second dragon, but we will see what happens. I may have to dig around in my scraps and pick up a third color like purple or pink to finish off a second one.

Thanks, he was very fiddly to make, but I think I have a better feel for how to do him now so will probably do another one soon.
