Dragonite – cute / chibi version

Hi guys!
It’s been a long time that I don’t upload any pattern here and I’m sorry. I had to focus in other projects and creating free patterns isn’t being my priority right now. To be honest, I’m not crocheting anymore (as you may have noticed if you follow my instagram account), it is being eventually that I do something as a gift for someone. However, I intend to upload some patterns that I have written between 2016 and 2017 and haven’t uploaded here, like this one. In those years, I have written those patterns in a physhical notebook, but unfortunately I didn’t take any photos of the creation process. So, these patterns won’t have any or only a few photos in their assembly or any photos of each crocheted piece. Well, I tought that it would be better to publish the written pattern without any helping photos than not to publish anything. That’s it. Hope you have fun!

Materials:
– Caramel yarn (I used Barroco Max Color by Círculo, which is a bulky 7wpi;
– Cream Yarn (I used Barroco Max Color by Círculo, which is a bulky 7wpi;
– Green Yarn (I used Barroco Max Color by Círculo, which is a bulky 7wpi;
– 4mm crochet hook;
– Fiberfill;
– Tapestry needle and scissors;
– 11mm safety eyes;

Notes:

– I always do my crochet works using continuous rounds;
– Everytime I will do a crochet work, the first thing I do is take a look in the entirely pattern before start doing it, so, I can have an idea of how the pattern works. Well, I recommend you to do the same;
– For sewing the pieces together you will use the tapestry needle;

Assembly:

1. Sew his horn to his head. Place it between rounds 8 and 12 of his head;

2. Sew his head to his body;

3. Sew his tail to his body;

4. Sew his belly to his body and tail;

5. Sew his antennas to his head. Place them between rounds 7 and 8 of his head;

6. Sew his legs to his body;

7. Sew his arms to his body. Place them in the last round of his body.

8. Sew together 2 wings, one caramel and one green. The green one is going to be the inside of his wing. To sew one to another you are going to join the top of them with single crochets. The bottom should be sewn normally with the tapestry needle. After that, sew each wing to his body, I placed the top between rounds 11-12 of his body and the bottom between rounds 9-8.
