This lace wing dragon crochet pattern lets you make a stunning dragon with intricate lace wings that look like they could actually catch the wind. The finished dragon measures 3 inches from side to side and 17 inches long from head to tail, with impressive 7-inch-tall wings.

The lace wings are what really set this dragon apart. They’re delicate and detailed, giving your finished piece a magical, fantasy-book quality. The dragon has two-toed legs (both front and rear), back scales, horns, and a defined belly, so it looks complete from every angle.

The pattern includes instructions for one dragon body, one head, legs, back scales, horns, belly, and those show-stopping wings, plus a full assembly section. You’ll get clear step-by-step instructions with row-by-row photos, so you can see exactly what you’re doing as you work.

This is a 72-page PDF with written instructions and photographic illustrations. The last section includes 14 pages of text-only, printer-friendly instructions and 3 pages of EU safety and compliance documents. There are also video tutorials available on YouTube for specific steps and stitches if you need extra help.

You’ll need between 124.5 and 141 yards of worsted weight yarn (depending on which accessories you choose to add), a G (4.0mm) hook, 9mm safety eyes, fiberfill, and a darning needle. Optional supplies include 2mm sculpture wire, duct tape, and hemostats or pliers if you want to add internal structure for posing.

This is an intermediate-level pattern, so you should be comfortable with basic amigurumi construction before starting. The gauge isn’t crucial as long as your stitches are tight enough to hold stuffing. The pattern is written in U.S. terminology and is available in English.
