Happy Birthday little Dragon

Last year a friend was pregnant, but when I asked about colour choices for a baby blanket or sweater, I was told that the baby, her fourth, was well-stocked with newborn knitting, and maybe I could make something for the little one to wear when (s)he got a little bigger. A beautiful and healthy little girl made her entrance last May and I looked through the patterns on Ravelry trying to find a cute little dragon sweater for the year of the dragon baby. I ended up falling in love with a different type of pattern and embarked on making my very first knitted stuffy.

The end result was nowhere near as cute as its recipient, but got to its new home just in time for the other little dragon's first birthday.


Happy Birthday little dragon! May you grown strong, healthy, and happy. May you love, be loved, and dream big!

      I like the ridges down the back (possibly because they were the only thing that was easy to sew on!!)

      I had to pick the dragon's nose and redo one of the nostrils... and it still doesn't look quite right! But the whole face is a bit lopsided, so I can't get too picky!

      I love them too! But they aren't stuffed, so are rather floppy. I wonder if they could be lined with interfacing of some sort or something else to give them a bit of stiffness?

    I'm glad everyone seems to like it - in truth it was a PITA to knit and even more to sew up. I swore I wouldn't do another knitted stuffie - but they do take a lot less time than a blanket, and I have left over stuffing...!
