Vincent, the well-known crochet shoulder dragon, is a cuddly mythical
creature with tons of personality. Create your own stuffed animal dragon with
this free amigurumi pattern.

After thousands of projects and years of fun, Vincent the Dragon is getting a
makeover!

MY LATEST VIDEOS

Originally published in September of 2019, it was about time for Vincent to

get his 2.0 Premium Pattern as well.
Don’t worry! He is still the same adorable friend, perfectly-sized for a great
hug. But after years of growing and learning as a writer/designer, it was time
that I updated the pattern for more clarity and a few more options.

So here he is, (new and improved) your large amigurumi dragon pattern and
the perfect cosplay shoulder dragon.
Dragons are a symbol of wonder, wisdom, and imagination — three things I
think this world needs more of. I have loved dragons for years, long before
the “geek chic” trend. I’m a huge nerd, and fantasy is no exception!

Construction

Yes, he is large. I would not recommend Vincent for your very first amigurumi
pattern, although if you are a fast learner and you are ready to take on some
new techniques in shaping, he is very fun to make. And the new 2.0 pattern
walks you through the hard parts step-by-step. This is an intermediate skill
level pattern.

With this in mind, I would strong urge you to pay the little bit and purchase
the Premium Pattern 2.0 on this one. The pattern has just been rewritten as a
2.0 pattern, complete with checkboxes for each row/round, color coding
where you need it, and 40 (Yes, forty) pages of photo tutorials!

His tail curves around using short rows, and the natural twist of working in
the round is played to our advantage so that his tail twists and curves,
allowing it to lay naturally over your shoulder or the edge of a table. (I prefer
him on my shoulder, but — as I’ve said before — I’m a nerd.)

AND now you have the option in Round 70 to decide if you want his tail to
drape over a shelf (or shoulder) or if you want it to sit flat out in front of him
(so he can sit on a bed).
His claws are worked directly onto the ends of his legs, so there is some
branching involved, but nothing you can’t handle. Use the Skinny Amigurumi
Parts tutorial to help with those rascally toes.

And his wings are unique. Vincent’s wings are the first pattern I have ever
written that uses wire. You will make a long tube (there again, use that
Skinny Parts tutorial) and then put the wire in the tube and close it up. Then
sew the wing flaps to the wired frame. The wings are in one piece so they
attach to the body in a straight line and won’t flop around as much.

Pattern Notes

Work in continuous rounds. Do not slip stitch unless otherwise specified

by the pattern.
For best results, assemble parts in order as directed.
Weave in attachment ends at very end of project in case pieces require
repositioning.
Rounds labeled “Short rnd” are worked back and forth and will end
before the round is complete, leaving stitches deliberately unworked to
be worked in later rounds as instructed. For a video tutorial of this
technique, go to https://www.hookedbykati.com/how-to-curve-using-
short-rounds-video-tutorial/
When instructed, an additional sc(s) will be added at the end of a round
to move the starting stitch. These sts will not change the count of the
 round, they will only move the placement of the starting stitch.
Ch-3 at beginning of round counts as dc.

Special Stitches

through 2 loops on hook] 5 times in same st, yo, pull through all 6 loops

Pin belly scales with starting chain at Round 7 of the neck, passing under
the neck, and running the length of the body. The widest point of the scales
will reach the rounded bottom of the neck as it wraps underneath. The curve
of the belly scales will follow the big curve of the tail. You may need to
stretch the belly scales slightly to fit. Pin them in place as you go. The belly
scales will not reach the end of the tail. Using yarn tail and sewing through
EVER border only, sew belly scales to neck, torso, and tail.

meet. Attach thigh along the pins.

Repeat with right rear leg so the end of the thighs attach at the same round
on either side of the torso.

Head Attachment

Before moving on to the wings, attach the head.

Align the last st of the head (center) with the tip of the neck and tilt it
downward until it is where you like it. Use pins to mark where the head and
neck touch. Color code your pins to keep track of which pins align with each
other. Using the pins as guides, sew the head to the neck.

Bind off leaving long tail for sewing.

Stretch wings across wing bones, attaching wing to either side and the
inside of the long edge.

Surface st (see Pattern Notes) 3 lines from bottom of wing to peak of wing,
evenly spaced apart.

Pin wing at rows 23 and 31 (the small section in the middle). Fold wires up
at these two points, leaving a short section in the middle. Sew this short, flat
section to the torso in the center of the back, where the torso meets the neck.
Position as desired.

Pro Tip: Sew around the wire inside the wing bones to reinforce the
attachment of the wings to the body.

Optional: Tack down wings at Rnds 23 and 31 where they touch the body.

Weave in all attachment ends when parts are positioned as desired.

hi! so glad i stumbled upon your dragon. I’ve already started it, using the copy
on your web page. I just have a question… as I read through to make sure I
wasn’t in over my head. After the tail/torso section , and before the belly
scales section, there’s a mention of a “hexagon”… where does that come from?
Is there directions for making it? thank you in advance,

Kati Brown says:

April 16, 2024 at 3:40 pm

Hi there! I’m glad to see you are reading through it ahead of making the
pattern. That is always a great place to start! The “hexagon” refers to the
pattern of pins on the lower half of the neck that you will mark to line up
the open end of the torso with lower half of the neck.

Hi Kati,
I have chronic neck and shoulder pain. As an experienced crocheter, I
wondered if it would be possible to add a false tummy to Vincent, as he is
such a large dragon, to hold a gel hot/cold pack that is custom made for his
size. I’d also stuff him partially with rice to make him heavier than normal
and give him the weight needed to relax the tightness that accumulates in
my shoulders. Do you think these changes would work?

I filled up my dragon with beans, he’s got a nice weight to him and I will
say he feels quite nice sitting on my shoulders, I would just find something
 to put the smaller filling in as I’ve got some beans trying to wiggle out

Patterns are set at a fixed price, in this case $8.00. Your location in the
world and whether or not you are required to pay VAT will change the price
on your end. Anything above the list price of the pattern is a tax that is
immediately paid to the appropriate country.

I made Vincent quite a few years ago for my grandson. He still loves it! The
only problem I had was when I went to stitch the tail, I somehow did it
“backwards”, so the tail curled in the wrong direction. By the time I realized
what I had done, it was pretty far along. I decided to let it be. It was still uber
cute

Hi I’m a little bit confused by Row 14 in the horns. It says “Rnd 14:
(RS)Continuing on unworked sts from two rounds back, 12 sc. (12)” I’m unsure
if that continues on from row 13 so 13+14 is 12 stitches total or if I am
working back over row 13 for a total of 12 stitches. Thanks.

Tiffany, the tail/torso begins at the tip of the tail and then winds around
creating the body, then the open end attaches to the side of the neck. If
you’re having trouble seeing how that would work, the Premium Pattern
may be more helpful to you to work without frustration.

Lisha, here is a video of how the short rounds work. You will work all the

There is a tutorial for how to use short rounds here:

While this is not the exact instructions because the horns are not a 90
degree corner, this will help the short rounds make more sense.

reading the instructions or they’re not there . I love the look the surface
slip stitch gives but I can definitely say I’m not a fan of doing it…..lol. Love
the pattern, thank you for sharing your amazing work

Hi there!
I’m obsessed with this dragon pattern! It’s perfect for what I want to do, only
it’s too big. If I pay you, could you shrink this down so the dragon stands
around 10 inches give or take?
thanks so much!

I am glad I found this pattern. Needed a pattern for a dragon, so I did a

google search. Vincent came up. So far I have done the head, now working on
neck. I have learned several new techniques-curves and invisible decrease.
The instructions are very clear so far. Loving it. Planning to make two for my
friend’s boys, who love dragons. I may even have to make one for myself!

I’m about a beginner, maybe intermediate. But my work matches your pictures,
so I think I can do it. This dragon is amazing! Again, thanks!

I have been crocheting for a little over a year now and I decided to attempt
this for a Christmas gift. I learned so much from this pattern, it is the the
most clearly written pattern I have ever seen. my hands hurt from all of the
little parts, but it was manageable. this pattern truly tested my skills and
the dragon is one of the best things I have ever created. my belly scales
 actually ended up going past the tip of the tail so I had to bring them up to
the very top of the neck so they would fit, lol! you are excellent at writing
patterns and even though this was a free one, I would gladly buy a pattern
from you.

Currently in the middle of making this gorgeous creature. Loving the process
of learning the techniques used. Dreading the continuous rounds of sc since I
tend to miscount the stitches and/or lose my spot. Regardless, seeing how
this piece comes together with every stitch is very satisfying, even within all
the frustration it may cause. Great work.

Hi there, for round 5 of the rear legs – it says to leave 12 stitches unworked
and continue to sc around for the next rows. Do you slip stitch the unworked
12 sc in each round or turn at the end? Many thanks
Reply
 Kati | Hooked by Kati says:
July 23, 2020 at 6:31 am

The unworked sts remain unworked (do not slip st or turn). Instead, work
the new small “tube” of his first toe, then you will come back to the
unworked st to create a second and third toe working on those unworked
sts.

Vincent the Dragon is well written and easy to follow! I am beyond thrilled
that my project is almost complete! I am making him for my grandson. I had
to enlist the hubby’s help for the wing support wire as I could not find the
insulated kind Required but we used a clothes hanger and slipped it into a
section of oxygen tubing. Hubby bent small circles in each end so I could
secure them from popping out with a couple stitches. Thank you so much for
letting us use the pattern!

you are working in rounds
I am presently working on the torsal
Can you help please

The short round section involves turning and working in the other
direction of the round. To keep those rounds easy to understand, I added
the RS/WS so you would know if you were working in the correct direction
or not.

I love this pattern! I actually haven’t made any amigurumi yet and am using
this as my beginner’s pattern and slaying it! I do have a question thought- on
the horns on the short rounds, what does “SC to move starting stitch” mean?
I’m assuming it’s something extra in addition to turning the work, but I
cannot figure it out for the life of me! Thanks for the awesome pattern- I’m so
happy I found your site!
Reply
 admin says:
January 21, 2020 at 6:27 pm

I’m so glad you like it! Way to challenge yourself! All it means is that the
number of stitches in the row is as stated, but you will do one extra at the
end (the first stitch of the next round) in order to move the starting stitch
of the next round over one. It’s just a repositioning stitch.

January 8, 2020 at 2:19 pm

Hi Cheryl, I’m not sure what you mean by “md?” There are short rounds in
the horns that are labeled “WS” which means “wrong side,” meaning you
would be working with the wrong side (the inside in this case) facing you
for the rest of that round. These are rows that are worked back and forth to
add more rows to one side of the horn so it will curve. Hope that helps!

took me three days off and on.
