So, I just loved the movie How to Train Your Dragon. I loved it so much, I had to see it twice. As soon as I saw it, though, I thought two things: 1) Toothless the dragon looks and acts EXACTLY like my cat, Boo. E.x.a.c.t.l.y. 2) I must crochet a Toothless.
I have actually started to do this, but it’s going to be a long process. I’m really particular about how it looks so it seems like for every few rows I crochet, I rip about twice as many out again. Maybe I’ll post my progress, although right now it doesn’t look like much of anything.
As inspiration, here are some amazing dragons that I found on the interwebs:
My absolute drool-over-it favourite from Angry Angel. (She also sells the pattern at her Etsy shop. Squee!)
On the cutesy side of things… Here is a sweet little pink dragon from Earless Owl on Flickr.
Next up is a cuddly looking green dragon with some nice, yellow scales. This is done by Pii Chii on Flickr. (I love the nostrils!)
And finally, a realistic looking fiery red dragon by The Itsy Bitsy Spider who sells this pattern at her Etsy shop.
You found some great patterns! I tried to crochet one dragon but unfortunately the pattern was very unclear and I gave up and made an alligator instead since it was a rush job for a birthday gift.

That dragon story is so unfortunate! At least you had some mad skills so that you could make it into an alligator, though!

Squeeee! I loved Toothless soooo much, I may have to buy if you ever list one in your store. Best of luck with the creative process!
