UPDATED! Vincent the Dragon | Free Crochet Pattern
Vincent, the well-known crochet shoulder dragon, is a cuddly mythical creature with tons of personality. Create your own stuffed animal dragon with this free amigurumi pattern.
After thousands of projects and years of fun, Vincent the Dragon is getting a makeover!
Originally published in September of 2019, it was about time for Vincent to get his 2.0 Premium Pattern as well.
Don’t worry! He is still the same adorable friend, perfectly-sized for a great hug. But after years of growing and learning as a writer/designer, it was time that I updated the pattern for more clarity and a few more options.
So here he is, (new and improved) your large crochet dragon pattern and the perfect cosplay shoulder dragon.
Dragons are a symbol of wonder, wisdom, and imagination — three things I think this world needs more of. I have loved dragons for years, long before the “geek chic” trend. I’m a huge nerd, and fantasy is no exception!
Construction
Yes, he is large. I would not recommend Vincent for your very first amigurumi pattern, although if you are a fast learner and you are ready to take on some new techniques in shaping, he is very fun to make. And the new 2.0 pattern walks you through the hard parts step-by-step. This is an intermediate level pattern.
With this in mind, I would strong urge you to pay the little bit and purchase the Premium Pattern 2.0 on this one. The pattern has just been rewritten as a 2.0 pattern, complete with checkboxes for each row/round, color coding where you need it, and 40 (Yes, forty) pages of photo tutorials!
His tail curves around using short rows, and the natural twist of working in the round is played to our advantage so that his tail twists and curves, allowing it to lay naturally over your shoulder or the edge of a table. (I prefer him on my shoulder, but — as I’ve said before — I’m a nerd.)
AND now you have the option in Round 70 to decide if you want his tail to drape over a shelf (or shoulder) or if you want it to sit flat out in front of him (so he can sit on a bed).
His claws are worked directly onto the ends of his legs, so there is some branching involved, but nothing you can’t handle. Use the Skinny Amigurumi Parts tutorial to help with those rascally toes.
And his wings are unique. Vincent’s wings are the first pattern I have ever written that uses wire. You will make a long tube (there again, use that Skinny Parts tutorial) and then put the wire in the tube and close it up. Then sew the wing flaps to the wired frame. The wings are in one piece so they attach to the body in a straight line and won’t flop around as much.
For 40 pages of bonus photos and tutorials, purchase this pattern as a Premium Pattern for only $7.00 (printable, ad-free, downloadable .pdf file) here. It can also be found on Etsy or Ravelry.

Pattern Notes
- Work in continuous rounds. Do not slip stitch unless otherwise specified by the pattern.
- For best results, assemble parts in order as directed.
- Weave in attachment ends at very end of project in case pieces require repositioning.
- Rounds labeled “Short rnd” are worked back and forth and will end before the round is complete, leaving stitches deliberately unworked to be worked in later rounds as instructed. For more on this, go to https://www.hookedbykati.com/how-to-curve-using-short-rounds-video-tutorial/
- When instructed, an additional sc(s) will be added at the end of a round to move the starting stitch. These sts will not change the count of the round, they will only move the placement of the starting stitch.
- Ch-3 at beginning of round counts as dc.

Position with the leg bent, foot facing the neck. The left leg will be positioned over the largest curve of the torso. Pin where thigh and torso/tail meet. Attach thigh along the pins.
Repeat with right rear leg so the end of the thighs attach at the same round on either side of the torso.
Head Attachment
Before moving on to the wings, attach the head.
Align the last st of the head (center) with the tip of the neck and tilt it downward until it is where you like it. Use pins to mark where the head and neck touch. Color code your pins to keep track of which pins align with each other. Using the pins as guides, sew the head to the neck.

Bind off leaving long tail for sewing.
Stretch wings across wing bones, attaching wing to either side and the inside of the long edge.
Surface st (see Pattern Notes) 3 lines from bottom of wing to peak of wing, evenly spaced apart.
Pin wing at rows 23 and 31 (the small section in the middle). Fold wires up at these two points, leaving a short section in the middle. Sew this short, flat section to the torso in the center of the back, where the torso meets the neck. Position as desired.
Pro Tip: Sew around the wire inside the wing bones to reinforce the attachment of the wings to the body.
Optional: Tack down wings at Rnds 23 and 31 where they touch the body.
Weave in all attachment ends when parts are positioned as desired.

Thank you soooo much for this dragon pattern. My father-in-law, son & grandson all collect dragons. My father-in-law is now in a nursing home & had to give up all his dragons, however he can have stuffed animals. I’m looking forward to making this for him. I’ve never done anything like this before, but love him so much I have to try. Wish he was a little smaller.
Sue
I made Vincent quite a few years ago for my grandson. He still loves it! The only problem I had was when I went to stitch the tail, I somehow did it “backwards”, so the tail curled in the wrong direction. By the time I realized what I had done, it was pretty far along. I decided to let it be. It was still uber cute 🙂
Maegan Brownrigg
I bought the pattern and have hopes that I can actually create him. Wish me luck!
Susan
I’ve got the hang of most of it except the wings. The bones are so tedious lol but I just can’t see how to attach them. I’m hoping once I’ve finished the bones it’ll become a bit clearer but if you cd in any way explain I’d be very grateful. Thanks for a brilliant pattern.
Cathye
Hi, although I am not the author, I do know the answer to your question. WS is wrong side, RS is right side
pupz333
My wings look nothing like the photo… I can’t understand how to put them with the wing bones. The bones are so much longer than the wings but in the photo they look to be the same size. Can someone help me. please
Crocheter
I don’t understand how to attach the wings at all. Do I make two of the wing part (not the wing bone?) How is it supposed to go together? The wing part is so much smaller than the wing bone… I don’t understand.
Annette Johnson
Hi, I lost my original pattern of Vincent the Dragon in my pattern downloads somewhere, i have looked everywhere, and im wondering if it starts out as the same as the premium new pattern,,, I have a crochet friend that wants a Vincent but new version and wants me to do it, she gave me yarn to do it, and providing everything for it. ,,,, i was just wondering if it starts out the same.?
Keisha
When I finished the belly scales, they were way too wide and long for the dragon. Am I doing something wrong?
Kati Brown
I would recommend checking your gauge and stitch count. Sometimes they can get off on this back loop only pieces.
Venetta
Hi I’m a little bit confused by Row 14 in the horns. It says “Rnd 14: (RS)Continuing on unworked sts from two rounds back, 12 sc. (12)” I’m unsure if that continues on from row 13 so 13+14 is 12 stitches total or if I am working back over row 13 for a total of 12 stitches. Thanks.
Ana Sudy
I appreciate very much the free pattern.
I must tell you that the pattern is USD 7 in Ravelry, not 3 as indicated in the newsletter.
Is there any discount coupon?
Thanks.
Laiza
thanks for your job, is a beautyfull dragon
Kathryn
Please could you recommend the size of glass eyes required. Thankyou
Aline
Hello! I’m translating this pattern to brazilian Portuguese (for my personal use, I promisse you!) in order to make it easy for me to read as I work on Vincent, but I couldn’t find what (WS) and (RS) mean. These are in the 7th, 8th and 9th rounds of the horns. Could you please explain what are those things so I can translate it somehow?
Thanks for your amazing pattern and your attention! 🇧🇷 ♥
Courtney
WS is wrong side
RS is right side
Hope this helps
Darina
WS-wrong side
RS-right side

Hello. Vincent looks so good! I was caught when I saw you 2 together. You bring him to life ,great pic and you should be so proud. Nerd or not, I can see the genuiness of your passion and art in what you have produced. I can’t wait to get started!!! Much love, a fellow crocheter 😆😉trina
Larkin
they’re telling you which side of your crochet should be facing you, it stands for “right side” and “wrong side”
Ellie Feathertree
Thank you so much for making this pattern free!!! I have plans to buy your patterns and invest when I can also. I have been wanting to crochet one of your patterns from seeing your TikToks and I’m so excited 🙂
Lisha
Love this pattern. Just having a problem understanding the rows after stuffing the tail. Won’t the turning indstead of continuing the rounds leave that whole side open?
Tiffany
I believe it is because you are going to later add the underbelly to him.
Tiffany
I am definitely confused after the 70th row for the tail/torso….
Tiffany
I am definitely confused after the 70th row for the tail/torso why does it drecress so long but then your expected to connect to continue….row 87 to 88 make no sense please clarify
Kati Brown
Tiffany, the tail/torso begins at the tip of the tail and then winds around creating the body, then the open end attaches to the side of the neck. If you’re having trouble seeing how that would work, the Premium Pattern may be more helpful to you to work without frustration.
Lisha
Ha ha, never mind. I was reading it wrong. Thank you for creating such a wonderful dragon pattern.
Kati Brown
Lisha, here is a video of how the short rounds work. You will work all the way around again after each short round section, so it will not be left open. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3FeAxDL8a8&t=9s
Gloria Vinson
Please can you help: I have trouble understanding Rnd 9 (horns). Also do you have a video tutorial which may make it a bit easier. Thank you.
Kati Brown
There is a tutorial for how to use short rounds here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3FeAxDL8a8&t=1s
While this is not the exact instructions because the horns are not a 90 degree corner, this will help the short rounds make more sense. 🙂

I am almost finished Vincent. Just need to attach his limbs, wing and head. I just did the surface slip stitches on his belly I’m not sure if I just skipped reading the instructions or they’re not there 😊. I love the look the surface slip stitch gives but I can definitely say I’m not a fan of doing it…..lol. Love the pattern, thank you for sharing your amazing work 😊
Alison Scher
Hi there!
I’m obsessed with this dragon pattern! It’s perfect for what I want to do, only it’s too big. If I pay you, could you shrink this down so the dragon stands around 10 inches give or take?
thanks so much!
Kim
Use thinner yarn and smaller hook to get the size you want.
sp
do you make and sell this item? please contact me via email
thank you SP
Joanne Haigler
I am glad I found this pattern. Needed a pattern for a dragon, so I did a google search. Vincent came up. So far I have done the head, now working on neck. I have learned several new techniques-curves and invisible decrease. The instructions are very clear so far. Loving it. Planning to make two for my friend’s boys, who love dragons. I may even have to make one for myself!
Anonymous
He’s beautiful! Thank you so much for the pattern! I am almost 13 and I think I’m about a beginner, maybe intermediate. But my work matches your pictures, so I think I can do it. This dragon is amazing! Again, thanks!
Crafter
I have been crocheting for a little over a year now and I decided to attempt this for a Christmas gift. I learned so much from this pattern, it is the the most clearly written pattern I have ever seen. my hands hurt from all of the little parts, but it was manageable. this pattern truly tested my skills and the dragon is one of the best things I have ever created. my belly scales actually ended up going past the tip of the tail so I had to bring them up to the very top of the neck so they would fit, lol! you are excellent at writing patterns and even though this was a free one, I would gladly buy a pattern from you.
Carole Christie
I have bought this pattern but cannot find where to download it. Could you help me please? Thank you.

I made the wings from 2 twisted pipettes and the wings droop. What should I be using?
Julie U.
Having trouble connecting torso to the neck…do you have a picture of how they connect?
Umi
Currently in the middle of making this gorgeous creature. Loving the process of learning the techniques used. Dreading the continuous rounds of sc since I tend to miscount the stitches and/or lose my spot. Regardless, seeing how this piece comes together with every stitch is very satisfying, even within all the frustration it may cause. Great work.
Penny
Hi there, for round 5 of the rear legs – it says to leave 12 stitches unworked and continue to sc around for the next rows. Do you slip stitch the unworked 12 sc in each round or turn at the end? Many thanks
Kati | Hooked by Kati
The unworked sts remain unworked (do not slip st or turn). Instead, work the new small “tube” of his first toe, then you will come back to the unworked st to create a second and third toe working on those unworked sts.

Very nice details

Jan Schafer
I love Vinent! He was fun to make and a bit of a challenge on his feet but when I just let go and did it one step at a time he came together. He is for my soon to be 5 year old grandson’s birthday. Thank you so much for this Awesome baby. I posted a picture on my facebook.
Jade
Hi, I love this pattern. It is intended to be a 60th birthday present when I am finished. Fingers crossed I manage to pull it off. Thank you so much! I just have a quick question. I am struggling to understand how to make the nostril flares and eyebrows. Are there any video tutorials you can point me in the direction of to understand this further? Thanks again!
Jenny Curtis
Vincent the Dragon is well written and easy to follow! I am beyond thrilled that my project is almost complete! I am making him for my grandson. I had to enlist the hubby’s help for the wing support wire as I could not find the insulated kind Required but we used a clothes hanger and slipped it into a section of oxygen tubing. Hubby bent small circles in each end so I could secure them from popping out with a couple stitches. Thank you so much for letting us use the pattern!
Jacki wray
I have never ran into WS and RS not sure what to do I know it mean wrong side and right side but how can you have a wrong side and a right side when you are working in rounds
I am presently working on the torsal
Can you help please
admin
The short round section involves turning and working in the other direction of the round. To keep those rounds easy to understand, I added the RS/WS so you would know if you were working in the correct direction or not.
Kim Vanderleest
I crochet lots of Dragon’s and this one is by far my favorite! Your pattern is so well written! Would love to send you a pic of my Vincent the Dragon just completed.

I found that Bernat Super Value and Lily Sugar and Cream work just as well. Love him!

Hello! Round 14 does not tell you to turn, but the next round still says to work on the wrong side. Was that just a typo or am I missing a step? Thank you!
Echos Web
He looks so sad. I hope I can do something to make him look mischievous instead! Will be starting him tonight.
Susan Roberts
Hi Kati
I can’t wait to start making Vincent the Dragon but am not sure about how much wool to get. If i get three 100g balls of Evergreen and one ball of Lettuce green will I have enough wool to make him. Best wishes.

Could you be more specific? If you mean the short rounds, I would recommend checking out the post about Curving with Short Rounds to help you out.

Amy
I love this pattern! I actually haven’t made any amigurumi yet and am using this as my beginner’s pattern and slaying it! I do have a question thought- on the horns on the short rounds, what does “SC to move starting stitch” mean? I’m assuming it’s something extra in addition to turning the work, but I cannot figure it out for the life of me! Thanks for the awesome pattern- I’m so happy I found your site!
admin
I’m so glad you like it! Way to challenge yourself! All it means is that the number of stitches in the row is as stated, but you will do one extra at the end (the first stitch of the next round) in order to move the starting stitch of the next round over one. It’s just a repositioning stitch. 🙂
Timbra
Can you clarify the sixth round the written instructions don’t add up to the number of stitches.
Timbra
Sorry, the seventh round. Of the head. The one with the bobble stitches.
By the time I scrolled down all way to the comments I forget what round it was lol.
Timbra
Ok sorry I was reading it wrong. Figured it out. Lol.
Cheryl Charles
hi this is a wonderful pattern but i’m having trouble with the horns ,what does md mean?
please thank you x
admin
Hi Cheryl, I’m not sure what you mean by “md?” There are short rounds in the horns that are labeled “WS” which means “wrong side,” meaning you would be working with the wrong side (the inside in this case) facing you for the rest of that round. These are rows that are worked back and forth to add more rows to one side of the horn so it will curve. Hope that helps!
Emily Grow
I think you mean rnd. Which means round. It does look like it says md though
Tina Bothwell
I figured out which way is ws and rs and the horns came out
admin
Glad to hear it!
Fiona McNeill
I wish I could send a picture of my finished Dragon… I did it for a customer and it was for her 4yr old grandson which he loved and wouldn’t put it down.. He fell asleep with it in his arms… I customized and thrilled with the way it turned out.. Your pattern was so easy to follow. Thanks so much for the pattern and all sales I make from it your credited with the pattern.
I have recommended to people to give it a go.

No. It is thin enough that just the wire fits comfortably, no need for stuffing. 🙂

His toes make no sense at all.

I would be happy to help. They are made by dividing the last round before you make the toes into 3 equal parts and creating a toe off of each part. Maybe that will help. 🙂

Can’t wait to start making him, he is a gift for my husband.. who plans on using him as a teaching buddy in his classroom ( he is going to teach grade 2)

Thank you!!

I am loving this pattern 🙂
With the tail, row 9 has a turn before the short WS row, but the next ones don’t say so. Do you always turn before the short rows?
Thanks so much!

Thank you for this incredibly generous gift of your time and talents with such a wonderful pattern. I have been counting the days for Vincent to arrive, he looks like he knows the secret to mending a broken heart. I am hoping my crochet ability can hold up so I can make Vincent as he is going to made and gifted to a little person living in the midst of a very long drought in rural Australia. Thank you Kati.
