This Crochet Magical Dragon is a lot of fun to make. I made him to go with the Puff the Magic Dragon book. If you would like to get the book, click here, or the picture.
I have a step-by-step YouTube video tutorial for my crochet magic dragon, and I also have a Crochet PDF Written pattern for sale on Ravelry .
In the YouTube video tutorial because I skipped the first part of the body increase rounds because I showed how to make increase rounds with the head, so I didn’t repeat it for the body. Everything is in the YouTube video tutorials to make this gorgeous crochet magical dragon, and now you can use google translate here on my blog with the following written pattern.

Take one of the large main color crochet triangles and line it up approximately 5 rows up from where you finished off on the head. Make sure the base of the triangle is centered using an imaginary line from between both of the dragon eyes. Sew the base of the triangle only, the tip of the triangle will point away from the head.
Now, take the 2 smaller triangles. Line the base of one of the small triangles just under the base of the larger triangle. The point of the small triangle should be pointing away from the head. Sew along the base of the small triangle only. Repeat on the opposite side of the head with the other small triangle.
(Page 11)
Take 2 of the Large Royal Sparkle Blue Triangles and line them up side-by-side so that the points are touching and the base of the triangles are touching. Sew the two large triangles together along the sides that are touching.

FO
On the dragon’s head, take one of the small triangles and lay it so that the point is facing the eye. Lay one of the ears on top of the small triangles, make sure that the right sides are together. The ridged portion of the ear will be facing you. Sew the points of the triangle only to the dragon’s head at the base of the small triangle. Don’t sew the small triangle. Make sure that it is centered. Repeat on the opposite side with the other ear.

DRAGON WINGS: I used my royal blue sparkle yarn and the gray yarn.
–Each Dragon wing has 4 large triangles (The same sized triangle used to make the Dragon Ears), 2 of the triangles are made using royal blue sparkle yarn, and 2 of the triangles are made with the gray yarn. Alternate the colors of the triangles, and lay them side by side with the tip of the triangles pointing inward. Sew each of the triangle sides together. Make 2 Dragon wings.
-Join your Royal blue sparkle yarn in one corner of the wing. Lay 1 Chenille Pipe Cleaner on the yarn, we are going to crochet around the pipe cleaner with our royal blue sparkle yarn. Ch1, make 1sc going behind the pipe cleaner and any loose yarn ends, and make 1sc in every st across the base of 2 triangles on the wing. Once you have made a few stitches, you can pull gently on the pipe cleaner to completely cover it with the stitches. You can make 2sc in the same st if you need to in certain areas to cover the pipe cleaner. Most of my stitches had 2sc. I was able to use one pipe cleaner for my dragon wings. I was about 2 inches short for my pipe cleaner to reach the end of the wing, but I just continued making 1sc in every st past the end of the pipe cleaner. On YouTube video tutorial, my dragon wings were larger (different yarn choices), so I used 2 pipe cleaners. You can watch the YouTube video tutorial part 2 of 2, time 23:56 to see how I made the dragon wings for my other dragon. If you want a larger wing, but your yarn choice makes a smaller wing. Start with a larger chain for your large triangle, and then work the rest of the triangle the same way.

(Page 20)
SEWING THE DRAGON SCALES: I used my Royal Blue Sparkle yarn, and made 2 large triangle scales and 1 small triangle scale.
–Using your small triangle scale first. Sew it to the triangular portion on the back of the head, and pull on the small triangle to pull the dragon head up. Using the large triangle that is already in place as a lever to pull the head up. Stretch the small triangle along the back of the dragon’s neck and sew it in place along the base of the small triangle. Optional: Make another large triangle, in the main color for the dragon, to sew on top of the large triangle that you used as a lever to pull the head up, ( To replace it as decoration. You can make a sc border around the sides of the triangle too. I used my royal blue sparkle colored yarn.).
– Next get the large triangle scale. Connect it to the end of the small triangle, and you can pull on the large triangle scale if you need to pull the dragon’s head up even more. Stretch the large triangle scale along the back of the dragon’s body. Pulling the head up, and sewing the base of the large triangle to the dragon’s body. Make sure that the tip of the triangles point straight back. You may need to fold the triangle on it’s left and right side, alternating as you sew along the base of the triangle with your tapestry needle.
-The last large triangle scale is sewn on the back of the tail.
Center the wings on the back with the “C” in the center of the wing (points of triangles) face inward. Sew the top corner of the wings only, when securing them to the back of the dragon.

Matching Cute Little Magical Dragons with or without beads Part 2 of 2:
You may like my other style of little crochet magical dragons too! They don’t have a written pattern at this time:
Someone liked the story behind why I made my crochet Cavalier Spaniel Dog written pattern. So, I want to give you the story of why I made the little blue crochet magical dragon.
A family member started a personal web page for friends and family. We were all tasked to send letters and/or books to a sick child that was about to have a serious surgery that would require a lot of postop recovery time. We all wanted the child to have plenty of things to do and read while recovering. I thought that “How to Train Your Dragon” books and jokes would be great to go with the blue crochet little magical dragon bookmark and amigurumi. While I was making the little blue magical dragon, my granddaughter wanted one, and so the little peach magical dragon was born.
Here is the direct link to the book “How to Train Your Dragon,” if you would like this book too.
Here are free PDF downloads for the History of Magical Dragons that I sent with the book:
