Project introduction
This pattern overview summarizes the free Dragon Amigurumi project from Ami Amour without repeating the full tutorial. It covers the finished look, construction order, and complete supply list so you can judge fit before starting. For full designer instructions, follow the Original designer’s pattern and instructions link.
Dragon Amigurumi Pattern Overview
The dragon belongs to the designer’s open mouth amigurumi series and reuses a familiar base in a fresh way. It starts from the Baby Dinosaur design and becomes a dragon through shaped wings and cute small ears. The wings carry a contrasting color rim along the top edge for a clear fantasy outline.
The dragon is styled as fire breathing, and a separate flame accessory adds drama for photos. You can also make a Dragon Egg and tuck the finished dragon inside for display. That pairing makes the project feel like a small story rather than a single toy.

If you prefer to watch rather than read, the designer offers a video companion for this dragon. You can see the finished amigurumi in action and crochet along with the demonstration. Watch the walkthrough on YouTube to check shaping and placement before you start.
Dragon Amigurumi Crochet Pattern Overview
This section gives the practical facts for planning. The pattern is rated Easy Intermediate, so it suits a maker comfortable with basic amigurumi shaping and sewing pieces together. The finished dragon measures approximately 5in/13cm tall. Gather the source-listed supplies below before you begin.
- 5.0mm crochet hook
- Red Heart Super Saver Yarn, worsted weight, acrylic, in Spring Green, Shocking Pink, Paddy Green, Cherry Red, and Saffron
- Polyester Fiberfill
- Yarn Needle
- Stitch Marker
- Scissors
- Black Felt for eyes
- Fabri-tac Glue
Construction begins with the head, which follows the designer’s Open Mouth Amigurumi Base, while the rest of the body follows the Baby Dinosaur pattern. The dragon details are made separately: two wings, two ears, a contrasting rim, and a flame piece. The wings are worked in rounds, closed, shaped, and finished with an embroidered line on front and back.
For assembly, sew the ears to the head and the wings to the back, then cut and hide all ends for a tidy finish. The flame is optional and can be sewn to the mouth for fire action. If placement feels unclear, check the designer’s photos and video rather than guessing.
