Place eyes between rounds 12 and 13, leaving 10 holes between them. If you want the sunken
eye look, do not place the backs of the eyes on until round 21.
TIP! You may have to adjust the eye placement depending on yarn and hook size you use.

19. (6 sc, dec) x 6= 42
20. (5 sc, dec) x 6= 36
21. (4 sc, dec) x 6= 30
Now for the eyes. Stuff the head well. Cut a long piece of yarn and remove the eyes. Place the
needle in the hole where the first eye was and thread the needle into a hole next to the eye
hole. Go back and forth between each eye hole repeating the process from the first eye. Pull
slightly on the yarn after going through each hole. Do this about 3 times on each side until you
reach the look you want. Follow the pictures for help. There is also a youtube video I have for
extra help on this process.

To place the backs of the eyes you will need to remove most of the stuffing to place the
washers on the eyes then re stuff it

 Helpful Tips:
Exact Colors Used:
1. Variegated: Tangled Pixie Rainbow
2. Black: I love this yarn black

The rainbow variegated can be purchased @tangled_pixie on Instagram

The eyes can be purchased at darkside crochet on instagram

You can use different eye sizes. You might have to adjust the placements if you change the
sizes.

You can use different hook sizes and weights of yarn. It will just change the size of your dragon
and you might need to adjust eye and nose placement.

How you stuff matters! The type of stuffing you use, how you stuff, all this matters on how your
dragon turns out. I prefer Polyfil stuffing but you can use other types.
