So I was looking at some old notes...
Before I made Alya, I made a practice dragon. Here are the instructions for the head. (The body is basically a tube, which gets wide, and has hdc instead of sc at the front to make it curve.)
These instructions are for a simple dragon's head, with the neck at the bottom, that looks more like a dragon's head than a snake's head. It was the dragon's head from the first beaded dragon I tried.
Instructions for beaded stitches and so on are filed with Alya.
Thread many beads onto the string. If you wish to thread the eyes on now, there should be 28 beads before the first eye and 9 beads between the two eyes.
