Faster than you can say “Dracarys!”, here’s a cute Dragon Amigurumi to light up the realm! This free crochet pattern is a continuation of my OPEN MOUTH amigurumi series.
This is an easy and fun crochet hack where I build on top of my Baby Dinosaur pattern. I just add the extra details of the Dragon Wings and cute small ears and it’s instantly transformed into a fantastical Dragon amigurumi instead! The dragon wings have a contrasting color rim at the top.
He’s also a fire breathing Dragon!
Fear the mighty dragon. He will burn you to a crisp!
This fun flame accessory makes for some awesome photo shoots!
You can also make a Dragon Egg and tuck your Dragon inside it!
Well I hope you’re all fired up about this pattern and I’d love to see how all your fantastic dragons turn out. Be sure to tag me with your projects on Instagram or Facebook!

April 16, 2020 at 12:38 pmI personally like to use small French knots with black yarn.
Ami Amour
April 16, 2020 at 12:40 pmThat’s a great way to make eyes as well!

January 26, 2021 at 10:53 pmYes, on this size, I like to use French knots for eyes. On larger animals, I crochet the eyes.

July 1, 2021 at 2:04 pmCan you use safety eyes for the eyes? This isn’t for a child. Its for me.
Ami Amour
July 3, 2021 at 2:30 pmYes, I like to use felt eyes but you should feel free to use whatever eyes you want for yourself. Just remember to insert the eyes before you finish stuffing and sew up the head on the bottom.
