Dragon Tosha Amigurumi Free Pattern
I am sharing Amigurumi free patterns with you. Dragon tosha amigurumi free pattern is waiting for you in this article.
When knitting toys, I always use a smaller hook size than the yarn manufacturer says. So, for example, with the recommended size of 3.00 mm, I use 1.5 mm. This avoids large holes in the canvas, the toy is more accurate.
The toy is knitted in a spiral, so the connecting loops at the end of the row are not used. We use a marker to track the start of the row.
When using the specified yarn, Tosha turned out to be 26 cm. The size of your toy will depend on the yarn and hook you choose. Please remember, the thicker the yarn, the more you will need to knit. Tosha stands and sits on his own.
The difficulty of knitting is medium. The fastening of the arms and legs to the body is splint, which allows you to turn parts of the body in different directions. In the absence of Toshe cotter pins, a thread mount can be made.
Abbreviations:
sc – single crochet
ch-chain

Leave the thread to sew the tail with the body
Body
Sew the tail to the body. In order to sew the tail neatly and evenly, we fill the body with filler. We attach the tail as shown in the photo. We focus on the markers for the legs. The tail is located approximately 4-5 loops from the marker on each side. Gently sew, gradually stuffing it.
The tail is sewn, now we remove the filler from the body and fasten the cotter pins for the legs.
We fasten the legs: we find a marker for the legs. We stretch the cotter pin through the body, inside we put on a wooden washer, then a metal one, bend the cotter pin and tighten it well with pliers. We do the same with the second leg.
Wooden washer for the legs is also 20 mm.
After the legs are fixed, we stuff the body. To make Tosha more stable in the tummy, I added a bag with decorative pebbles.
Next, attach the handles.
We find a marker for hands.
We stretch the cotter pin through the body, put on a wooden washer, then a metal one, bend the cotter pin and tighten it well with pliers. We do the same with the second hand.
Wooden washer for handles also 15 mm.

Stuff the top of the head tightly, highlight the nose. Leave the mouth unfilled.
EYE LOADS: (refer to the markers in the 25th row). The distance between the eyes is 8 loops.
We insert the needle from the left side of the palate and bring it out to the 2nd marker, retreat 8 loops, insert the needle at the 1st marker and bring it down.
We tighten the threads well, fasten and hide. We do the same on the other side. We insert the needle from the right side of the mouth and bring it out to the 3rd marker, retreat 8 loops, insert the needle at the 4th marker and bring it down. We tighten the threads well, fasten and hide.
Head
Sew the corners of the mouth on both sides, so that the orange part remains inside the mouth. The mouth should pull up due to this.
Next, we make Toshi’s nose snub-nosed. To do this, we insert the needle into the middle of the palate, bring it out in the 25th row in the middle of the spout, retreat one row up, insert the needle and return back to the middle of the palate.
Lightly tighten the threads and fasten them. The nose should look slightly up. Crochet the filler to the center of the spout. Slightly press the cheeks on the sides.

When stitching, do not forget to try on Tosha’s combs. We attach all the details to the pentagon, sew in a circle as shown in the photo.
For each detail on the pentagon, 10 loops. After sewing the scallops to the pentagon, we sew the sides of the scallops together.
Head
We try on, when trying on we stuff and fix with needles. So it will be easier to sew Toshin’s “hairstyle” evenly. Sew carefully. I sewed with red thread. After the scallops were sewn, I walked along the edges with connecting posts without a crochet. The connecting posts covered the sewing irregularities.
EARS ARE KNITTED IN A SEMI-CIRCLE
Dial 8 sc, do not close the ring. Turn work, work back 8 inc, turn work, work back (1 sc, 1 inc) x 8. Turn work, work back 24 sc, turn work, work (2 sc, 1 inc) x 8 Fold the semicircle in half and sew with connecting posts. Sew at eye level.
GO TO THE EYES Everything here is up to you. I tried on a lot of different eyes, glass, safe, glittery, knitted … in the end I decided to draw. For drawing, I used white dense, but thin felt. Acrylic paints, primer (primer) and fixer, brush columns h2.
We start with a primer, apply to the surface and wait for complete drying. Then we draw the contours of the eyes. You can draw several options at once so that there is a choice.
Head
We are waiting for complete drying. We choose the options you like, cut it out, apply a fixative. To make the edges of the eye even, you can round them with a nail file.
Trying on. After trying on, I cut the eyes from below with scissors, so they seemed to me more attractive. We embroider eyebrows.
I stitched the bottom of the mouth with stitches, and then toned. For tinting, I used red paint on fabric.
KNIT TEETH
We use a white thin thread.
6 sc into magic ring
1. (1 sc, 1 inc) x 3 (9)
2. (2 sc, 1 inc) x3 (12)
Put together and sew.
We embroider nostrils. I glue my eyes. For the eyes, it is better to take transparent glue.
Sew the head to the body. When sewing, it is better to use two colors of thread. We sew the yellow part from the front with a yellow thread, the remaining back part is orange.
You can also tint the belly in orange, thereby removing the unevenness of the color transition. You can tint with pastel crayons, pencils or fabric paint, it all depends on the yarn you choose.
Dragon Tosha is ready!
