A BOUT THIS PATTERN

While making this amigurumi you will work in continuous rounds, unless told otherwise. Use a stitch maker to mark end of your rounds.

The finished amigurumi should measure approximately 12.5 inches tall. Size may vary, depending on yarn type and personal yarn tension.

Instructions that need to be repeated will be marked with brackets followed by the number of times it needs to be repeated.

Example:

Round 4) [2 sc, inc] rep 6 times (24)

ABBREVIATIONS:

sc = single crochet

inc = increase (2 sc in the next sc)

hdc= half double crochet

dc = double crochet

dec = invisible decrease

sl st = slip stitch

rep = repeat

To begin the head, we will start with a chain. We will then work around the chain to form a round.

This piece is worked in ROWS, not in rounds.

Do not chain 1 at the end of each row like you normally would. When beginning the next row insert your hook into the very first stitch from your hook. It will be a tight squeeze, but doing this will give the sides of this piece a very straight edge.

If you find that doing this is too difficult or too tight, you may chain 1 at the end of each row as you normally would when working in rows.

Use the provided pictures of the finished Dragonite as a visual aid to help guide you in the assembly process. Pins are highly recommended to aid in part placement during assembly.

Cut out the shapes seen in the photos from Black and White craft felt. Eyes are approximately 1.5 inches tall and 1 inch wide. Glue them to the front of the face, or you can use a felting needle if you have one. Use your yarn needle and black yarn, or embroidery floss, to embroider the nostrils on the nose.
