 The toy is 35 cm (13.8”) tall
INTRODUCTION:
Probably you haven’t known there is a magic country far away where dragons live!
Oh, how good and beautiful, and friendly they are!
The dragons from that country can be of different colors – blue, and orange, and
raspberry, and even purple; and they all have a rainbow crest, that’s because they
are Rainbow Dragons that bring luck, happiness, joy, and love.

The ABC on how to make crocheted toys.
http://toy-li.jimdo.com/free-video-lessons/

Materials:

Polyester, Size E (3 mm) crochet hook, tapestry needle
Styrofoam ball (7 cm in diameter)

Abbreviation:

Attention!
When you crochet in a spiral I advise you to make a magic ring at the
beginning of the item and then to make the necessary number of single
crochets into the ring (usually you make 6sc).
