The Story

Cato was the first dragon I ever crocheted, and because I was still figuring out gauge, he turned out much bigger and heavier than I expected. He has some serious heft! I’ve been wanting to hang him in my daughter’s room, but I still haven’t figured out the best way yet.

CHNKY Note

This was the first project where I used safety eyes, and I actually had to ask my husband to help me snap them on because I couldn’t do it myself. Since then, a fellow crocheter introduced me to a safety eye tool and wow — it makes a world of difference. I don’t know how I ever managed without it.
