Baby Dragon

Sorry it's been so long, I've been busy (going to MI, drawing, stuff like that). Anyway I have a new pattern! I kinda got the idea from a pattern I found on Ravelry called Mighty Ferocious Dragon (actually if you read both patterns over you see that the first 4 row are the same and three rows 18-20 in the tail are the same as well). This pattern makes a perfect baby for this dragon. Ok, enough rambling, pattern time!!

ASSEMBLY:

Sew spines starting at the tip of the tail and working to the ears.

 Sew wings on either side, around rows 11-13. 

 Finally, sew on all of the feet.
 The front legs should be sewn on to row 9 or 10.
 The back legs should be sewn on at row 15 or 16.

Eyes should be placed in front of ears (between row 3 and 4)

All done!!!!

NOTE:

For eye you can use small safety eyes (3 or 4mm would work nicely. No bigger than 6mm) or you could embroider them on, or seed beads (I probably would not use them with little children though)
