Assembly:




  1. Sew head and body together. Caution!: Notice that last round of the head is smaller than last round of the body. You have to join last round of each piece together only in front side of the amigurumi (see the draw above). In back side you have to sew 13rd round of the head and last round of the body together. Head will be tilted slightly upward.

  1. Sew tail to the body. The bottom of the tail on 5th round of the body.    


2.  Sew back spikes to the head, body and tail. Place the first 4 spikes (the biggest) on the head, from round 3; the others must be on body and tail.   
   

3.  Sew horns to the head. Place them within the third round (see pictures below).

           

4.  Sew legs to the body

5.  Belly: Cut out a piece of yellow felt with the form shown bellow. Measurements are approximate. You probably have to adjust the size. I suggest making a previous paper pattern. Finally, sew the belly to the body using a needle. 


6.  Embroider belly lines and belly button, using black yarn (see the dragon picture). Don’t forget to embroider the belly edge. 


7.  Sew arms to the body.

8.  Mouth: cut out a piece of deep red (or brown) felt with the shape shown bellow. Measurements are approximate. You probably have to adjust the size. I suggest making a previous paper pattern.


9.  Glue the mouth to the head, within rounds 8 to 12. After that, embroider the fangs using white yarn. Finally, glue a black yarn on the edge of the mouth.

10.  Embroider eyes using black yarn (on rounds 4 and 5, aprox.). Embroider flushed cheeks with pink yarn. 

And that's all!

    1. Hi Rhondda! My brother made it, and I don't know how he makes animated pics. But I know that he doesn't use an only app, I think he uses a photo editor to make each picture (a .gif has many pics), and then he uses other application (a video editor) to joining them and get a .gif format. That's all I know!
