DRAGONAIR

I recently have decided to go back and make some of the Pokemon that were on a “To Do” list that I had on my blog.   Dragonair was on my list along with Dragonite.  Dragonair was one of my favorite from the original Pokemon games.  He is way overdue to be done.  He should have been done shortly after I made Dratini back in 2011.  Of course, I have learned a few new crochet techniques and a few more terms in “crochetese” since than that have improved This pattern includes the color lists for both Dragonair and Shiny Dragonair.
