Baby Dragons

Another request I got for my boyfriend's rats were toys. My first thought was balls. Because what pet (of the furry, fluffy variety) doesn't love a ball? I used a pattern for a perfect sphere and made four of them!


However I decided that this wasn't enough. I needed something else. I'd always seen patterns for tiny stuffed animals on Ravelry, so I decided to try one of those. Originally I had planned on making a teddy bear, but I found a pattern for a tiny dragon and I made up my mind.


The original pattern didn't include wings, but I felt like it looked too much like a dinosaur-hybrid. I used the wings from a tiny cthulhu pattern (same person whose pattern I used for my Cthulhu earlier), and they worked quite well.


After seeing this little guy, Alex decided it wasn't fair that his rats got one and he didn't. So I made another one. 



If you want to make this dragon, make sure to make your circle for the nose large enough. The snout turned out better on the second dragon when I wove yarn through a third of the head. (If you read the pattern this comment will make more sense).

I am currently working on some updates to my blog (I'm way behind!), so there will hopefully be a couple more new posts within the week!
