English crochet pattern "Dragon Sleepyhead" Skill level: intermediate by Olga Kuznetsova *Mug pattern is not included Pattern Notes Hi, there. Thanks you for choosing me. I hope you'll enjoy your time while crocheting the toy. The pattern is mainly worked using the amigurumi method. Work in a continuous spiral without closing off the round with a sl st. It may help to use a stitch marker in the last stitch of each round, moving it up as you work. Align marker if necessary. This pattern is strictly for personal, non commercial use. Copy, distribution or commercial use of this pattern or any of its parts is not allowed. You may sell the finished product. Feel free to post and share pictures of your finished items but please credit OLGA KUZNETSOVA as the designer.
