Lunar New Year Dragon

Pattern and photo credit: curiouspapaya

FINISHED MEASUREMENTS
Width: 6’’, Length: 4½’’

PATTERN NOTES
This Dragon is worked in a continuous spiral. The Snout is the only part that is worked in an oval spiral. Join rounds with a slip stitch only where indicated.

I use the “yarn under, yarn over” method of crocheting when using chunky chenille yarn. This creates a pretty, slanted X-shaped stitch. Yarning under also creates tighter tension. You may crochet however you’d like but note that the gauge may be affected.

Rescue Fly

Pattern and photo credit: Katherine Wallace

These quirky colourful flies with their simple smiling mouths are proof that anything can be cute if you give it big enough eyes.

A Rescue Fly is a fun, fast make that’s great for stash-busting and markets.

This beginner friendly pattern includes detailed step-by-step instructions, links to video tutorials and lots of photos.

As well as the pattern, there’s a PDF with my printable ‘Fly to the Rescue’ packaging, which you are very welcome to use when you gift or sell your Rescue Fly. This quirky packaging is a fun finishing touch for these simple toys and definitely increases their appeal. I also suggest giving each fly a name, so I’ve included a list of my go-to ‘fly names’ to help get your creativity flowing when you first start trying to name your fly friends.

To make a Rescue Fly, you will need:

• 2 colours of yarn (the yardage given is for no.3 weight yarn, but you can use your choice of yarn) Colour 1: 12 metres / 13 yards Colour 2: 5 metres / 5.5 yards
• Embroidery floss OR a scrap of yarn for embroidering mouth
• 15mm safety eyes (if you use different yarn weight you will also need to change the size of the eyes)
• Small quantity of toy stuffing
• 2.5mm crochet hook (or hook that matches your crochet style/yarn weight)
• Needle for sewing in tails
• Scissors
• Optional: Stitch marker for keeping track of the beginning of each round
