Dratini

COMPLETED: 71 GOAL: 649


Original pattern located at http://cdbvulpix.blogspot.com. Good pattern, really didn't have to make any major changes. I did make the body longer and to go along with it, the belly. For the body I added 3 rows to rows 15-39, 1 row to row 41 and row 43 (total of 5 rows added). For the belly I added a row to rows 13-16, rows 18-21, rows 23-26, rows 28-31 and rows 32-35 (total of 5 rows added). I made the horn a bit smaller, started with 4 sc in magic ring rather then 6 and instead of making another row, I weaved the tail thru the loops and tighten the loops a bit.. The ears I got a bit confused with, so I made my own.

Ears: (make 2)
Ch 4, sc 2nd ch from hook and next 2 chs, ch 1, turn (3)
Row 1: sc next 2 sc next, sc next, ch 1, turn (4)
Row 2: sc next, 2 sc next 2, sc next, ch 1, turn (6)
Row 3: sc next 2, 2 sc next 2, sc next 2, ch 1, turn (8)
Row 4: sc next 3, 2 sc next 2, sc next 3, ch 1, turn (10)
Row 5: sc next 3, 2 sc next 4, sc next, hdc next, dc next, ch 2, turn (14)
Row 6: dc next, hdc next, sc next 3, 2 sc next 4, sc next 3, sl st next 2, ch 1, turn (18)
Row 7: sl st next 2, *dec over next 2* repeat twice, 2 sc next 4, *dec over next 2* repeat twice, sc next, dc next 2 (18)
FO

The 2 dc at the end of row 7, should be towards the top of head. Fold the ears to create the fold running down the center of the ear.

Thanks for the pattern!
