I admit I'm a hardcore fan of "Game of Thrones". And so I look forward to the release
of the next season. I was very upset when Night King killed one of the dragons.
Therefore I decided to help our “good guys” and crocheted one more
dragon - the Red Flame Dragon. I'm even ready to fly it and fight
the Night King in person! :-)
The final size of the Dragon: the height - 11(27) cm, the wingspan 46(75) cm, the
length of the body from the horns to the tail 31(50) cm (depends on the thickness
of my yarn, see “Materials” for details)
The doll contains inside 3 wireframes of aluminum wire: in the wings, the Body
and the legs. This allows to pose it any position. The dragon can stand well
without resting on its tail.
There is no need for sewing when you make wings, everything is done only
with a crochet hook. The wireframe is inserted only in the upper finger of the
wing. However, the pattern is designed in such a way that when using a
thicker yarn (which may be too heavy for a wireframe), you can insert
the frame in all fingers in the same way.
The head is crocheted separately and sewn to the body. Some parts
require sewing together, but many are easy joined with a hook.
The pattern contains 33 pages of text and 60 step-by-step photos. There are
the steps where I use my original techniques that can cause questions.
Therefore, in addition to the text and the photos, I duplicated these steps with
videos. There are 4 of them and they are available by the links on Youtube.
Requirements for the level of skill: basic skills of crocheting and joining
doll details. However, some experience is desirable.
