Hi Elizabeth, we are so glad you enjoyed the video! We'd love to see your makes once they are completed

[@NatashaLanceley]

This video was so helpful! This is my first proper pattern that I tried to follow and found it so confusing until I found your video! My dragon came out so well, thank you for the clear walkthrough :)

It would be a million times easier to do the legs exactly how you did the horns
