Forest Dragon was initially a selfish passion project just for myself with the design and colours set up to match the colour scheme and vibe of my bedroom. A huge blanket for the coldest nights with the additional bonus of having a weighted cosy feel. After sharing pictures of my progress I received a huge amount of love and demand for the pattern which made me realise I needed to share this guardian of the woods so here it is.

Dragons, crochet and excel spreadsheets are some of my favourite things so I love to bring them together to design blanket patterns and then crochet them. Sometimes pictures other than dragons appear too.
I hope you enjoy making this blanket as much as I did and I would love to see your versions.
