Here is a cute miniature dragon crochet pattern for you. I realized I haven’t shared a dragon crochet pattern like this before. Here we are starting a beautiful week with a fun amigurumi pattern. May this crochet dragon bring you luck as you start the new week. Share it with your loved ones so that everyone can make this fun crochet dragon. You can change the colors according to your own preference. The designer uses a 3 mm crochet hook while working on this dragon crochet pattern. Also, a size three yarn will do the trick.
