Supplies needed for crochet amigurumi dragon pattern
- Yarn: The weights vary from DK to chunky weight yarn in colors of your choice.
- Crochet hook – When it comes to the hook size, the recommendation for adorable crochet dragons is to use the smallest hook size you are most comfortable working with! This helps to secure the stuffing and makes it perfect for the little ones. (We do not want any stuffing picking out of the loose stitches)
- Tapestry needle – For sewing in the parts and ends.
- Stitch marker – To secure your pieces before sewing/joining.
- Polyfill stuffing – Toy stuffing gives your crochet Dragons a firm shape!
- Two safety eyes, or you can crochet eyes for children under 3 years. The size of the safety eyes would range from 8 to 20 9 mm safety eyes
- Embroidery thread in black for the eyebrows.
- Fabric glue – To attach the eyes to the dragon’s head.
- Wire for frame d =1.5 – 2 mm about 1- 2m (depending on your yarn)
Important crochet stitches needed for a crochet dragon

Half double crochet and Double crochet stitches
