Hello there! ♥
As you might’ve noticed, I love dragons! Whether it’s in fantasy books, games, or movies, there’s just something about these majestic creatures that captures my imagination. I also love doodling them, and I’ve drawn tons of dragons for my easy dragon drawing collection on the blog.
The coolest thing about dragons is that they don’t exist (unfortunately), which means there’s no limit to how they can look! Some are fierce with giant wings, others are small and chubby, and some have long, elegant bodies that twist through the air like they belong in an ancient legend. You can really let your creativity run wild when making them!
Since I’ve been obsessed with dragons for so long, I wanted to see what kind of free dragon amigurumi patterns were out there. So, I went on a little hunt to find the best ones! Some are extra cute, some are quite famous (hello Toothless, Haku & cie!), some look straight out of a fantasy novel, and all of them are perfect for crochet lovers who want to bring their own dragon to life!
Sleeping Dragon
Okay, starting off with a super cute one. This tiny sleeping dragon is just too precious. Look at how perfectly it curls up in the palm of your hand! The soft, warm colors and those tiny horns make it extra charming. If you’re looking for a free amigurumi dragon pattern that’s quick, cute, and giftable, this one’s a must-try! I would love to have one on my desk. (pdf file free pattern)

Detailed Haku
Okay, that’s an impressive one, let’s be honest. This Haku-inspired dragon is just breathtaking. The long, elegant body, the soft blue fur along its back..

Wrap Up
And that’s it for this dragon amigurumi collection… for now! I’ll keep updating this article whenever I find more amazing free dragon crochet patterns, so be sure to check back later.
Of course, dragons aren’t the easiest thing to crochet – most of these patterns require at least an intermediate crochet level because of all the details and shaping. But don’t worry! If you’re a beginner and want something a little simpler, I recommend checking out my bunny amigurumi article, my duck amigurumi collection or even my bear amigurumi one! Those patterns are made with easier shapes and are perfect for getting started with crochet! Plus, they’re all free!
Anyway, which dragon are you making first? Let me know in the comments!
