Craft Your Own Dragon: A Detailed Toothless Crochet Pattern

"Unleash your inner dragon trainer with this comprehensive amigurumi pattern to crochet your very own adorable “Toothless”! This guide provides all the instructions you need to bring this beloved character to life, from his sleek body and expressive head to his iconic wings and charming tail fins. Get ready to crochet a legendary companion! Materials You’ll Need To embark on your Toothless amigurumi adventure, gather the following supplies: Yarn: Worsted weight yarn (approximately 1 skein of Vanna’s Choice yarn or similar). Crochet Hook: Size F (3.75 mm). Stuffing: Polyester fiberfill. Felt: Black, green, and yellow acrylic felt (small sheets). Fabric Glue: Strong fabric adhesive (e.g., Fabri-tac). Scissors: Small, precise scissors for cutting felt. Optional: Long knitting needle or skewer for head/body assembly. Important Pattern Notes Before you begin, please note the following: “inc 2” Instruction: When the pattern states “inc 2” (e.g., in the Head section, R12), it means to single crochet 3 into the same single crochet (sc). This effectively increases your stitch count by two stitches in that single stitch, rather than the usual one. Stitch Abbreviations: MR: Magic Ring sc: Single Crochet (US) inc 1: Single crochet 2 into the next single crochet (standard increase) dec 1: Single crochet 2 together (standard decrease) HDC: Half Double Crochet (US) BLO: Back Loop Only ch: Chain st(s): Stitch(es) ss: Slip Stitch Numbers in parentheses () at the end of a round indicate the total stitch count for that round. Crochet the Body (Starting from the Bottom Up) Craft the core of your Toothless with these body instructions. Remember to stuff firmly as you go! R1: MR (6) R2: Sc 2 in each sc around (12) R3: (Sc 1, inc 1) 6 times around (18) R4: (Sc 2, inc 1) 6 times around (24) R5: (Sc 3, inc 1) 6 times around (30) R6: (Sc 4, inc 1) 6 times around (36) R7-8: Sc around (36) R9: Sc 12, dec 6, sc 12 (This creates the shaping for Toothless’s distinctive “butt”) (30)"
