We insert a button with inc thread – a button fastening, then we will attach the tail to it
Row 31: tighten
Sew the top and bottom as shown in the photo.
We do the button fastening like this: we take a button and a dense thread in several folds, insert it into the button, then we put this button into the product and finish knitting, the threads remain outside the part
TAIL
Each ball is knitted separately and connected to the previous one with a button fastening, one after the other.
We knit in green yarn. We stuff in the process of knitting, at the stage at which you are most comfortable.

We leave the thread for incision, fold the arm in half and sew. We’re training our hand in incocesl-ste, I have a tight fist and a soft handle.

28 – 42 row: 78 sc
At this stage you need to knit the dragon’s mouth, take a pink (or red) inc and start knitting along the edge of the nose 10 sc, further according to the scheme.
We sew the mouth to the chin.
So that the dragon’s nose is flat at the bottom, we cut out a blank from plastic (I had a lid from a mayonnaise bucket) in the following shape:
We insert it inside the head and glue it with glue, for reliability. We fill the nose and a little head.
Now we tie the head, stuffing it more tightly in incoccessl-ste.
43 row: (11 sc, decavage) – 6 times (72)
44 row: (10 sc, decavage) – 6 times (66)
45 row: (9 sc, decavage) – 6 times (60)

Row 52: (2 sc, decavage) – 6 times (18)
53 row: (1 sc, decavage) – 6 times (12)
Row 54: tighten
Now we will do the tightening:
We stick the needle from below in the places marked with pins, pull it out in the place of the future eye sockets, stick it through the row and stick it down next to each other so that the 2 tails of the thread are not in one hole, but through a loop or through a row, pull it together and tie it in a knot, it will sink into its drawstring it won’t be visible, the tails are different, we do the same with the second eye socket, we will get a tightening for the eye sockets and the cheeks will be formed.
EARS, NOSRAILS, WINGS, NEEDLES, EYES
Before knitting this little thing, I advise you to assemble the dragon. I incised my head and hands. The legs were attached with a hinge so that the dragon could sit down.

Fold in half, tie 2 loops with 36 sc yellow inc, then knit arches from 6 in. P. inc joining in every 4 loops, we tie each arch – (4 sc, 3 in. P. 4 sc) – 9 times.
I folded the finished wings again and sewed them with hidden stitches using regular thread so that they would puff up.
