I am hoping that with the completion of Dratini will lead to the creation of both Dragonair and Dragonite in the future. The eyes are made with felt but they could have been made bedspread cotton just as easy. The decision is up to the person making Dratini. The hardest part of Dratini was the ears, getting them fold like they are.

Just come across your blog - I love it! Crochet and pokemon are two of my favourite things. If you threw a bit of baking in here too we'd probably have to get married.
ReplyDeleteWill bookmark this to put on my list of things to make :)

hey, how do you do the ears on the dratini? and fold? im confused!!! please help, but I really need to figure this out! I'm crocheting the dratini for my boyfriends birthday <3 instructions are amazing, by the way!
ReplyDeleteI'm also confused about the ears!! I've tried it every way I can think of but I just don't understand what I'm supposed to do :( Everything else makes sense and is turning out great!
ReplyDeleteYou fold the ear and crochet through, when you are working row 6. lol That took me a minute to figure out.
ReplyDeleteHey there! How big does this turn out to be?
ReplyDeleteHey there! How big does this turn out to be?
ReplyDeleteDratini's length will depend on you. When made him for the first time according to pattern, he was about 12 inches long from head to tail point. You can add rows on Body and Belly to make him longer.
DeleteHow do you crochet row 6 of the ears.
ReplyDeleteFold ear where sc indicated are touching. Working through both thicknesses, sc in next 2 sc. Now working in single thickness, sc in next 3 sc, 2 sc in next sc. Please let me know if that helps.
DeleteThank you, that helped a lot
DeleteExcuse me sorry to bother you but is this done in UK terms or US :D thanks in advance
ReplyDeleteHi, I know it's a long shot but how do you make the ears? I'm really confused. Would you be able to post pictures or even a short video? Thank you very much
