Dragonite

Took me a  while to get this up, it went through several edits, but I think it's good to go now.  Hit me up on Deviant Art if you have any questions.  I have no idea how to use this site and you can see that by how weird this pattern is from when I pasted it from its word document :c Help on getting it straightened out would be appreciated.

This pattern uses the G hook.

Fasten off.

Hdc the pieces together.  Using gold on the corner dc, trc, dc.  Sew bottom through back stitches.

Sew all pieces together, tail to body, head to body, feet to legs, nails to feet, legs to body wings to body, etc.  If your under belly does not match with your body and tail this maybe be because of tension, so either add or subtract a few rows to even it out.


 I recommend wiring the wings.  The way that I did is that I cut out about 18-20 inches of galvanized utility wire-14 gauge with some pliers.  I then bent them into the shape of the wings with about 3 inches excess on each end.  I placed them in between the wings before sewing the pieces together.  I then stabbed them into the back where I wanted them before I put the head on, and then wrapped the ends of each wing to each other in a link.  Hope that makes sense.

The eyes are made with black and white felt and glued on with fabric glue.  The mouth and nostrils are whip stitched on.

To wire the antennae cut some wire about twice the length of it with about an inch extra on each end.  Bend it in half and insert it into the antenna then attach to head with wire ends and wrap it around.
