Add a legendary creature to your knitting with this Classic Green Dragon Square Knitting Pattern! Featuring a bold, winged dragon silhouette in deep green against a light background, this timeless design brings medieval fantasy and magical flair to your handmade creations. Perfect for fans of dragons, folklore, and epic storytelling, it’s a powerful addition to any project.

Worked flat with a garter stitch border framing the smooth stockinette center, this enchanting square is ideal for fantasy-themed blankets, magical pillows, storybook tote bags, wall panels, chair or seat covers, table decorations, bath mats, or even as a bold panel on a cozy sweater.

The pattern includes a full colorwork chart and easy-to-follow row-by-row written instructions. Choose your favorite technique — intarsia, duplicate stitch, or machine knitting — and let your dragon take flight in stitches!

FINISHED MEASUREMENTS
The final size of the project will depend on the yarn and needle size you choose. Here are examples for three different yarn weights:
Sport weight (5 ply) with 3.5 mm (US 4) needles:
37 × 37 cm (15″ × 15″) — approx. 120 g
DK (8 ply) or worsted weight (8 ply) with 3.75 mm - 4 mm (US 5-7) needles (sample shown): 46 × 46 cm (18″ × 18″) — approx. 140–180 g
Aran weight (10 ply) with 5.5 mm (US 9) needles:
52 × 52 cm (20″ × 20″) — approx. 250 g

MATERIALS NEEDED
I used DK weight (8 ply) yarn — 140 g of YarnArt Creative, 100% cotton, 50 g ≈ 85 m / 1.8 oz ≈ 93 yds
Knitting needles: 3.75 mm (US 5)
Tapestry needle for weaving in ends
If you want to match the sample size, use DK yarn with a similar gauge. However, you’re free to use any yarn you like! This project is highly adaptable — just choose suitable needles for your yarn and enjoy the process.
