- Hello! I mentioned this in a community post earlier this week, but I am currently in crochet-jail, no hooks allowed. But I already had all this footage ready to go, so I really hope some of you design your own big mumma dragons, and post them up and let me see! Just make sure you make them really slowly and take a break every 100 scales.

Hi everyone!
I understand a lot of people have had trouble with filling in the front panel of the body (R18 through to R32). My instructions could have been a lot clearer. If you need help with this section, try one of these two things:
1) My original intention with this pattern is that from R20 to R31, when you work the "Dec3"/"sc3tog", one of the stitches is the SAME chain that you slst/ss into in the previous row.
OR
2) Replace R20 - R31 with this: 12sc, dec, slst into next sc of chain + turn.
Give those a go, feel free to report back here if it's still not working for you!
sorry to bother but I am still stuck on the belly part, I fill it in but I end up on the wrong side by the end of R31. are we meant to end up on the right side or the left? I always end up on the left side
nevermind i figured out what i was doing wrong 😂
Hi I have a question,Im still struggling with this part ,when in turning and i have to start with the sc of the next row am i supposed to sc in the slip stich or skip it.Also you said 12 sc and then a dec ,is a dec3 meant or a normal dec. Thank you so much for this tutorial and thank you for your help.Have a nice day .
I would really appreciate the help i have benn stuck on this part for 4 days now😢
I just finished my first dragon base today. He's getting decorated with scales that look like fall leaves, pumpkins, and pinecones, and I'll put him on display every fall. He's been a great project for eating up my yarn stash. I might even make some for friends.
How’d you make the scales?
@@htps.aslisa Found some mini leaf tutorials and made them up in various fall colors.
That's such a good idea!
I’m so glad you actually showed us how to make these! I couldn’t find any realistic dragon crochet patterns that I really liked and that I didn’t have to pay for. You’re awesome!! Thank you so much!
Such a nice big project you can easily customise to fit your own theme! A project like this would be amazing to carry around and work on whenever and wherever. Thank you for the amazing video and I hope that this big guy has treated you well through this past week 🥰
Casually making scales on the train, it's truly the life for me :)
@@ComplicatedKnots yup!! Then people asking what you’re ‘knitting’ 🤣
@@Viled_Venom Yup! I love my dad, but he calls it knitting! I love that he does that! Lol
OH MY I'm so glad you did this pattern I can't wait to do it myself. Thank you so much.
Good luck!
Working on one for my mother's birthday! Love the pattern even if a little silly looking. Whilst stalling until i have motivation for the short rows, ive started on one using a 3.0 mm hook and her name will be pancake! 🥞
I have been doing my best to create this, i have 3 sets of yarn set aside to keep trying.
You have taught me alot about making plushy things and it have carried over into other things i make. Thank you for doing this. I couldn't do this if not for your videos
you're an absolute legend for just releasing and explaining this for free!!
I really love how you make your videos! They're so easy to understand and I love how you explain and actually explain what we're gonna do, instead of just shoving the pattern in our face. Many patterns are just a lucky guess on what you're creating on the way because they mostly don't tell ya what part you're crocheting! You're videos are even fun to watch when I'm not crocheting and just seeking entertainment!
Much love from germany
Used your instructions and added my own variations. Covered it completely with silver scales and added wings. It ended up being quite large. However, it looks awesome! Thanks for the tutorial.
Just going to join in here thanking you for posting this. Especially the end bits describing how you did the details. I love customizing existing amigurumi patterns, and you've made exactly the kind of tutorial I wish there were more of. Thank you for sharing your talent, humor, and time with the world. You and your works are amazing! ❤️
Im a beginner and been looking desperately for a dragon pattern! Whilst I'm nowhere near this level yet it definitely gives me inspiration to keep practicing and eventually make my own!! ❤❤
Hi, painted Dragon. I was a beginner like you and was terrified to touch Amigurumi, but two months into crochet about 11 years ago a friend went to for it, it is easier than it looks and I am hooked.
I'm SUPER EXCITED by this!!! And I'm more than likely gonna make one!!! Who am I kidding... I WILL eventually make one.... she's now on the list too!
Hooray for making it onto the list!
@@ComplicatedKnots I'm shocked to thibk you didn't expect this!!! I was cheering you on from the beginning and kinda silently frowned but accepted the "its kinda a me project and probably won't be filmed" statement you issued early on.
@@kitwickliff my muse is mercurial. She saw how much yall loved Marigold and decided i was interested in sharing the notes after all *shrug*
@@ComplicatedKnots I love your muse and you!!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. Ever since I saw your tutorial on the scales I have wanted to do one for myself, I really enjoy your videos, and the way you explain things
what patience for making the video!
continue to rest well and thank you again for this boss. I too feel that I will quickly launch into this base💗💗
Thank you! I’ve finished the body tonight and it looks good! Your instructions were fairly easy to follow(I’m a newbie) ! So excited to see how I progress with the other parts ❤
I just love your videos and am glad you are able to continue. Take care and don't overdo it.
I thankfully had all the footage for this one already. I'll be back soon though, never fear!
I'm making this currently for my partner for Christmas!! I love this pattern so much!
Wow absolutely awesome. I don't know how you do it. Your patterns are amazing, you must have a fantastic imagination and a lot of patience.
I just ordered my yarn to make this! Can’t wait to get started. I’m so excited. I was going to make it with yarn I already had on hand but the only DK I have is in glitter rainbow. Which probably could’ve been cool to use and see how it turned out but Ive already planned to use that yarn in a different project. I thought about using worsted since that’s mainly the only kind of yarn I use and is the bulk of what I have on hand but I didn’t want to have the size be off.
I absolutely love this pattern. You did amazing!
Wow! I can't wait to make one for myself. She is beautiful
I'm going to do this and add my own twist. Thank you so much for showing us. I love this pattern❤❤❤
Newly found your channel a few days ago, and already cant wait to try to make this beautiful dragon
I love this vid ! I made my own mama dragon and added scails it is awesome ! Love it💜💜💜
I love this!! 😍😍 thank you so much for the base. I will make one when I have time. 🥰
Thank you! It's lovely and I can't wait to try it myself
I made the navy dragon that is on the cover of Priory of the Orange Tree for my friend...who thought she looked like Sgaeyl from Fourth Wing 😂 now I'm making her Tairn by using 2 strands of worsted weight on the pattern
I finished mine this morning! I used Red Heart Super Saver Jade for the body and Minty for the belly and Dark Teal for her Claws.
Marigold looks amazing! 😮 I want to be able to do this when I "grow up"
Thank you! I can't wait to make one!
Tag me if you do, I'd love to see ❤️
I have done a few of these now... Thank you so much for sharing
Thank you so much for sharing this pattern! You did such an awesome job with this design.
Thanks! It was a labour of love :)
Thank you so much for sharing this amazing pattern ❤️
I love it! Thank you so so much for posting this!
I'd love to see it!
So far this is really good and im on the short rows of the tail and its going good lobe the video this is the only video i could find of a relistic dragon 😊🎉❤
Thank you so much for making this video. I am now determined to make a dragon and the 3 smaller ones. They will be my rainbow dragon family. Love it.
You are so very talented.
Thank you so much for the dragon pattern
I’m currently watching the video before crocheting so I know what to expect and that it is of my advantage.
And so far it is really helpful and an easier pattern than I had expected (so far) 13:28
I am very excited to create this piece and very happy you made a tutorial. Since I always look at marigold as your best piece! She is beautiful and I am overly excited and confident to make my own!
I love having the feeling of being so excited to the point your squealing to crochet something!
I LOVE DRAGONS, i just found this pattern, i need to try it out, just need to find all my crochet tools, it looks amazing, really great work
My sister has just started teaching me how to crochet, with the goal in mind to both sit together at Christmas and make one of these lovely dragons and their hatchlings. hopefully by then i will have the needed skills to do so.
Thank you so much I really enjoyed making this and this was a great way to bust my yarn stash😊
That dragon is incredible ,just bravo👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you!
I like the way you did the claws I might try out how they look on one of the wof dragons I'm redesigning and see how it looks of corse they will need to be smaller. And if your interested in seeing how big my dragon is I recently posted a clip of me working on her with all the cost/materials/time it took to get to that point and oh my goose she is almost done, and it's not bad for a teenager whose been crocheting since I was 8.
Keep coming back. Working on my claws now.
i recently got some really fluffy wool from spotlight, so i might try making this for my mother!
You have inspired me. I will try a T rex for my niece.
There's a stich called crocodile stich in crochet, I thought that's the one you used. Happy that yours is even easier.
TYSM. Greetings
I have been wanting to create an adult version of a baby dragon i'd made a bit ago. I was just gonna sculpt him out of clay but this seems more fun, even if it'll take longer
im halfway through and im so proud of it already! thank you so much for this video, its super easy to follow ❤
Have you got to the head yet? I’m stuck on rounds 25-26
@@crazypumpkin2886 yes i have, what's confusing you about it?
Excited to see more dragons from you also you made me start a crow project just like this with each feather as individual piece and so far so good + tysm for that "strand of scales" i either way cut after Fo or had insane amount of loops in one strand
A crow! What a splendid idea!
I want to make a phoenix😮😢😂😅
17:26 VERY IMPORTANT NOTE ON THE NECK
When you change to your main body color, chain 1 and turn.
Thank you, I was looking for this
Omg yesss
I will make as soon as i can and im gonna send you a photo when im done💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
I can't wait!
Wow that's super amazing :00 how you designed it is even more amazing :) I need to buy a lot of wool soon!! Aaaa
Omggg I CANT WAIT TO SEE MORE DRAGONS AHHAHA
No such thing as too many dragons!
Love it! Trying to make one know but having a little issue with the head base section. Looking at the video there is a turn at the end of Row 21 so your second colour's first stitches are going through the back as per the video.
Amazing work. Looks beautiful
Thanks :)
I have made 3 of these so far .. each one is better than the last...
This is my next project (trying not to start it right now at 11pm. I started your lochness, but got frustrated at one part so taking a break. Also just made your eevee (although it looks a little mangled, so I dubbed it a Halloween eevee). Can’t wait to start this tomorrow.
This is very helpful. I'm trying to tackle an interesting project, making my DND character. And of course I scoured the internet finding many good 12" doll bases and many lovely dragons... But no dragonborn dolls (basically a humanoid dragon). So here I am to collect parts for my prospective tabletop prop.
I’m going to make this into my scrap yarn project and call it scrappy!!!! Wish me luck!
Very cool ❤ I think I’m going to make mine white and gold
This is amazing! thank you so much! Will you ever maker a video on how to do the scales! I'd like to do this as it adds so much character I feel! xxx
Canon Established: Chonk babies have two moms.
Love it! Your so talented!
Thank you :)
Am kind of intimidated but I am so appreciative that you did this. And I want to try to make it with a mix of chenille yarn and smaller yarn and will tag you. I hope you'll like it!!!
Thank so much for sharing this amazing pattern with us! ❤😊I’m currently working on the oval belly but I think I missed a step because it’s not staying flat like yours does😢 any tip/tricks are appropriated! ❤
Thank you so much❤❤❤❤❤❤
Oh I love the size I wana make a Falkor now that I know how to start Ive always wanted a Falkor Plushie and it'd be perfect for my Magical Hobbity Fantasy art studio ^^
I love your dragons.
Thank you so much for showing us how to make this amazing dragon.
I can’t wait to actually make my own, I just first need to buy lots & lots of yarns. Lol
Just curious though, do you plan on making another separate video showing how to make scales & wings for the dragon?
So, I made a Chonk, the baby dragon with tiny yarn (which my hubby then 3D printed a game of thrones style egg for me to put it in), but I still have to go back and make all of the dragons (including another Chonk) with normal size yarn, I'm so happy to get to make the mother as well when I get around to doing the dragons! :D Thank you as always for awesome patterns!
AND now I want a 3D printer. That sounds so cool!!!
@@ComplicatedKnots he makes so many neat things with it. Before I started making amigurumi stuff I was making blankets using graphs to put images in them and he made me LOTS of bobbins for them. He's also made a yarn spooler and yarn winder for me.
@@serenityelizabeth8994 he sounds like a keeper ❤️
I bet you were super happy when you finnished it
I love this is so excited! I want to make one! And do you make please part two? Like i don't know how to make this then please 🙏
I can’t crochet but love your channel
Amazing 👏 🤩
Hello! I just found you and am a new subby. Can I just say you are AMAZING! My tot saw your tiger video as I was binging you so now I am Frankensteining a LOT of your projects to make her a mermaid! It WAS a rainbow tiger but she changed her mind. Thank you for the scales on this one, the starter of your Eevee for the tail flip (hind leg) how to scale up and how to bend stuff. This will be my first Amigurumi (YIKES) so wish me luck. She wants in time for her birthday which is in a month. It will be pink/rainbow if I can pull it off. So thanks for giving me confidence. This is soo much more than a hat! 😂
This is my end goal for crochet, saving this video
Edit: Finally working on it a year later
I used slightly bigger yarn and i was so surprised by how much large it wound up being
I finished the body and head!! I’m just working on the face mask and /*shudder*/ the claws…😅
Hay, super excited about this pattern and I am starting to make it, got body completed and just starting on head. Only problem is I can’t the PT video, the one that shows how to stitch it all together. Help! I am waiting a few days before I carry on as I need more stuffing 😂. Thanks again 🥰
Funny story, i'm planning to make this dragon, instead of 4mm yarn ( dk/ 8ply ) like yours, im gonna make it with 0.4mm yarn 😂
I’d like to make a “scrap dragon”
Where I use all my yarn scraps as the scales! I think that would be so cool to make
IF I MAKE THIS BIG ENOUGH SHE WOULD BE A BIG INTRICATE CHUNKY PILLOW ALTHOUGH I FEEL BUYING ALL THE SUPPLIES ID NEED FOR THAT WOULD BE A LIL EXPENSIVE…WOOHOO LETS MAKE POOR LIFE DECISIONS (after I get done with my current project ofc)
so sad that you didn't post the other dragons that are shown on the sneak peak😿
Try the Crocodile Stitch. It looks a lot like the scales
This is amazing! 😮😍 I want to try making one at some point when I feel brave enough. May I ask how many skeins you used for all those scales? So I know how much to order in total. Thankyou❤
This is perfect! I’ve been wanting to crochet Tairn, Andarna and Sgeal dragons from Fourth Wing!
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH tysm for releasing the base dragon!! I'm so excited and I know it will be one of the big projects I'm planning to do over the summer!! Just a thought tho 🤔how long did this take you to film? I know that a "regular" one takes 4-6 hours so how long did this take? Much love🥰
I’m so excited about learning how to make this dragon, but I’m already lost on the first part, I know how to do the 6 stitches, but after that I’m not knowing how to do the increases
An increase is two sc's in one st
i love it as much as all of your pattern :3 juuuust... how to make the wings? ;^;
Ничего не понимаю что Вы говорите, но с удовольствием смотрю Вашу работу. Очень красиво! 👍
Hi, I am glad you showed us how you made Marigold. One simple basic question. Did you clip the backs on her eyes and when? Thank you for all your time.
I do, after I've made both the head and the face mask. The face helps you line em up correctly.
Love your work. Do you have a book of crochet. Merry Christmas to you and family
First off, thank you for showing us how to make this amazing dragon! I recently started working on mine but I've been running into a little problem: my base oval starts to curl up and just doesn't want to stay flat. I know it could be a tension issue but I redid this piece a couple of times now with only a little improvement :( Does anyone have an idea what else could be causing this to happen? I'm using Hobbii Friends 8/8 and a 3.5mm hook, if that's of any help :)
Será el doble de esfuerzo ya que no hablo bien el inglés pero amo tus patrones y será uno de mis siguientes proyectos 💕
¡Te deseo muchísima suerte! Si algo es demasiado difícil, comente e intentaré explicarlo de otra manera :)
Hello! I want to make a GIANT version with bernat blanket yarn. How many skeins of the main color would I need for that?
Hi, whenever I go to row 33, I can't do 14 sc across the openings as I don't have 14 sc spaces, the last time I did it I only had 7 sc across the opening.
Magnifique même si je suis française je comprends bien merci beaucoup
Hi there is there a tutorial at all for this doll .. my niece is a huge fan and would love to make her this x
LOL It took my kids 58 minutes to see what I'm watching. Within .1 seconds of noticing, however, I was asked "Can you make one for us?" Guess I"ll be buying yellow and orange yarn as those are the requested colors.
