Love knitting and want to make an exclusive gift to friends or loved ones - we will tell you how to crochet the symbol of 2024 with your own hands, and also offer several detailed analyzes of how to knit a Dragon with step-by-step photos, and master classes in video format.

Symbol of 2024

According to the Chinese calendar, the new patron, the Green Wooden Dragon will replace the Black Water Rabbit on February 10, 2024 (the date of the New Year in Eastern style), but in European countries the change of years occurs on January 1, which means giving knitted dragons under the Christmas tree » according to European custom.

For those who plan to crochet the symbol of 2024, it is recommended to use different shades of green and brown, because we have a "wooden" Dragon.

Dragon Toshka

Amigurumi (small knitted figurines) is a great gift for both adults and children. The dragon will be 11-12 cm high, which means it will look great as a keychain for a backpack, but it can also be attached to a suction cup and placed in a car interior or mounted on any glass surface. Crocheting such a cute symbol of 2024 is not at all difficult and even a child can do it.

To make amigurumi you will need:

yarn in 3 shades - green, blue and black;
holofiber (filler);
buttons for eyes (8 mm) - 2 pcs;
hook 2 mm;
scissors;
needle.

The knitting pattern will consist of several stages: torso, lower legs, upper legs, head.

Stage 1 - knit the body and legs.

Step 2 - knit the head and assemble the toy.

Kukki's Baby

Another interesting amigurumi option. If you like crochet and know how to read patterns, it won't take you long to make this cute symbol of 2024 - the turquoise Dragon.

To knit such a dragon you will need 4 thread colors: turquoise (you can green), orange, yellow and white.

Also worth cooking:

ready eyes;
button;
filler;
black and white thread;
scissors;
igloo;
pins and markers.

Start knitting from legs with turquoise threads:

1 row - KA, sbn6 (6);
2 row - {1sc, 1inc}3 (9);
3 row - {2sc, 1inc}3 (12) ;
4 row - {3sc, 1inc}3 (15) .

When you finish knitting the first leg, cut and thread the thread.

Having connected the second leg, do not cut the thread. Connect the 1st and 2nd leg, knit in a circle 30 columns without a crochet:

{15 stitches in the detail of the 1st leg and 15 stitches in the detail of the 2nd} (30), and then proceed to knitting the torso.

We also knit the body with turquoise threads, continuing the detail obtained by connecting the legs.

1 row - {4sc, 1inc}6 (36);
2-7 rows - 36 sc (36);
8 row - {4sc, 1dec}6 (30);
9 row - 30 sc (30);
10 row - {3sc, 1dec}6 (24);
11 row - 24 sc (24);
12 row - {2sc, 1dec}6 (18);
13-16 rows - 18 sc (18);

When you finish knitting the part, leave enough thread to sew on the head part.

The next step is the handles. Each arm is a separate small detail, which, after knitting, must be sewn to the body of the dragon.

The yarn used is turquoise, and the pattern is as simple as possible:

1 row - KA, sbn6 (6);
2 row - {1sc, 1inc}3 (9);
3-7 rows - 9sc (9).

Now we need to tie the ponytail:

1 row - KA, sbn6 (6);
2 row - 2sc, 2inc, 2sc (8);
3 row - 3sc, 2inc, 3sc (10);
4 row - 4sc, 2inc, 4sc (12);
5 row - 5sc, 2inc, 5sc (14);
6 row - 6sc, 2inc, 6sc (16);

Sew this part to the body using the remaining thread.

Now we are waiting for the most important stage, tying the dragon's head.

Knit with turquoise thread.

1 row - KA, sbn6 (6);
2 row - 6inc (12)
3 row - {1sc, 1inc}6 (18);
4 row - {2sc, 1inc}6 (24);
5 row - {3sc, 1inc}6 (30);
6 row - {4sc, 1inc}6 (36);
7 row - {5sc, 1inc}6 (42);
8 row - {6sc, 1inc}6 (48);
9 row - {7sc, 1inc}6 (54);
10 row - 54sc (54);
11 row - {8sc, 1inc}6 (60);
12-19 rows - 60sc (60);
20 row - {8sc, 1dec}6 (54);
21 row - 54sc (54);
22 row - {7sc, 1dec}6 (48);
23 row - {6sc, 1dec} 6 (42);
24 row - {5sc, 1dec}6 (36);
25 row - {4sc, 1dec}6 (30);
26 row - {3sc, 1dec}6 (24);
27 row - {2sc, 1dec} 6 (18).

Stuff the part with filler so that it acquires the desired three-dimensional look.

Knit white yarn eyes (2 parts) as follows:

1 row - KA, sbn6 (6);
2 row - {1sc, 1inc}3 (9);
3 row - {2sc, 1inc}3 (12);
4 row - {3sc, 1inc}3 (15);
5 row - {3sc, 1dec}3 (12).

Attach the white details of the eye bases to the head and glue the pupils. Above the eyes, place the eyelids, which fit in just two rows:

1 row - ch 8 (8);
2 row - 1sc, 1dc, 1dc, 2dc, 1dc, 1dc, 1sc (8).

Next, we make nostrils so that our knitted dragon is as similar as possible to the real one. Each spout element consists of two parts:

yellow - 1 row - KA, 4sc;
turquoise - 1 row - KA, 4sc.

Also sew the nostrils to the part of the head and embroider a small neat mouth. Next, you need to fill the body with holofiber or cotton wool and sew on the head.

Let's move on to making the wings. We knit details with white yarn:

1 row - ch 15 (turn piece)
2 row (BLO) - starting from 2 loops 14sc (14) and turn again;
3-4 rows (BLO) -1 ch, 12sc (12) turn;
5-6 rows (BLO) -1 ch, 10sc (10) turn;
7-8 rows (BLO) -1 ch, 8sc (8) turn.

Sew the wings to the body to make it look like in the photo of the finished toy.

It remains to make beautiful spikes along the back and tail, so that our dragon would have a funny look. For this process, there will not be a diagram, but a detailed description. We take orange yarn and knit a row of single crochets from the end of the tail to the middle of the dragon's head, grabbing the tail through the loops of turquoise yarn, then the torso, then the head. As a result, a series of orange columns is formed, which will become the basis for the cloves, which we knit simply by turning around (starting from the head) according to the scheme {we lower 2 columns, knit 5 dc from the next}. The pattern is repeated 9 times.

Final stage - we dress our dragon in a cool scarf. Knitting is as easy as possible. You can do it with a crochet or knitting needles. For knitting, the width of the scarf is 6 loops, for crocheting - 6 columns. Adjust the length as you wish.
