Amigurumi crochet DRAGON free pattern
June 23, 2021Hello ❤︎
On this page, you will find a free crochet dragon pattern.
This pattern is one of the amigurumi patterns from the Chinese horoscope. I am currently working on other patterns in this series. Patterns that have already been published can be found at this link ↠ knittedstorybears.com/crochet-horoscope
Back last year, I first came up with this crochet dragon. Look at the sketches! But I decided not to wait for the year of the dragon, according to the Chinese horoscope, and made a pattern right now!


I look forward to seeing your photos of the amigurumi dragon on Instagram with the hashtag #knittedstorybears and will be sure to share them in my @knittedstorybears account stories!
