CAL: How to crochet a dragon part 6 – the legs

Today, I want to show you how to crochet the legs for your toothless amigurumi. You can do them in three ways. You can either fasten them with safety joints or sew them onto the body or you can crochet them directly to the body. If you want to do the latter, you will have to use a slightly different pattern, which I give you at the end of this post. But let’s start with the first two possibilities:

CAL: Black Dragon Amigurumi part 4 – the body

Today, we go on with our black dragon CAL. As there are some choices to make, I have to explain some things before we go on with the body. You can either use safety joints for arms and legs or sew them on our crochet them onto the body directly. If you choose one of the two latter, there will be nothing to be aware of, so you may skip this and crochet on directly. But if you want to use safety joints you’ll have to leave the body open so you can insert the joints after having done arms …

CAL: Toothless Amigurumi Part 1 – the Head

Summer is almost over and that means that the best crochet-time of the year is just about to start. Of course I have been busy during the summer break of this blog and of course I made some plans what to post once it would be over. And of course I changed all of them when one of you asked me on my youtube channel to design a special amigurumi for her. She was searching for a toothless pattern in German.

Suddenly all possibilities of doing nice motives opend up again. Today, I want to share my very first own design of a pixel graph. It shows the face of a baby cat and …
