I found some really plush, soft and luxurious purple velvet yarn on clearance at Hobby Lobby – or as I call it, HibbityBibbity, and have been trying to figure out what to make with it. I also had some silver velvet yarn that I snagged from the thrift store. What to make… what to make…?
Que Pinterest! I was scrolling along one night and found this blog with a free pattern for a cute little baby dragon and thought “Aha! There’s my purple velvet plushie right there!”
Granted, the blog post looks like it was translated from a different language and there was some information lost in translation, so I had to wing it – haha pun intended – and do what I thought would look best for the yarn size I had and the size I was going for on my plushie.
Eventually I will get around to writing up my own version of this pattern because his face really is too cute and I think others will enjoy making one for themselves 🙂
It turns out that one made with standard acrylic yarn is just as cute!
I’ll definitely continue making these since I just love their faces 🥹
Check out my Etsy to see the acrylic yarn version available for adoption!
