pattern used -
- My Fierce but Friendly really Dragon by Angry Angel
hook used -
- pattern calls for a 3.5mm hook, I used a 4.0mm hook
- pattern doesn't really specify what weight yarn to use
- of course I used reclaimed yarns!
- I worked the body with one strand of green 8ply/DK yarn, and one strand of the variegated green which I dyed in this post here
- the spikes were worked with two different shades of yellow 8ply/DK yarn held together
- the wings were worked with red 12ply/bulky yarn
thoughts -
- it's not a detailed pattern
- really just a basic set of notes to guide you through
- I found it simple and easy to follow
- my only modification, was to work a row of sc around the outer edge of the wings after they were attached... to 'finish' them off more neatly

WOW! I want one. NOW! What a great project. I will have to start rummaging through my yarns to see what dragon-worthy stuff I have. Thanks so much for the inspiration and pattern link.
