TAIL FIN
Start with the main body yarn color (turquoise) and the 2.75mm hook.
Switch to secondary body color yarn (off-white).
FO and weave in the ends. (Or, snip the yarn tail short and use a dab of clear nail polish to keep it from unraveling.) Continue with the finishing directions:
- Attach C1 yarn to the top of the tail. Ch 1, sc 7 across.
- Ch 1, turn. Sk a st, dec 3 across.
- Ch 1, turn. Sk a st, dec.
- FO with a long yarn tail to sew to the body later.
WINGS (x2)
- The beginning chains do not count as sts in the final stitch count.
- Dc-inc is a “double crochet increase”, which means to insert 2 dc in the same st.
Use the secondary body yarn color (off-white) and a 5.5mm hook.
Optional Edging: To make a neater trim for the wing, continue with your inner wing color yarn and sc around the jagged edge. If desired, you can also continue sc along the straight edge of the wing that would be against the dragon’s sides.
Top Edging: Attach C1 yarn to the top edge of the wing and sc across, but insert 2 sc where the ch-2 gap is.
FO with a long tail for sewing later.
