“…his antlers resemble those of a stag, his head that of a camel, his eyes those of a demon, his neck that of a snake, his belly that of a clam, his scales those of a carp, his claws those of an eagle, his soles those of a tiger, his ears those of a cow.” Han dynasty scholar Wang Fu (taken from Wikipedia)
This gloriously mixed-up sounding creature is a depiction of a Chinese dragon. A mix of short rows knitting, picking up stitches, i-cording, picot edging and simple two colour knitting produces this lovely – and it stands up on its own (but not on a slippery surface).
To make this you will need:
100g main colour DK yarn (I used Stylecraft Cabaret DK Ocean) A few yds/m of pink DK yarn (for the mouth) A few yds/m of white or cream DK yarn (for the teeth, optional) 100g of scrap DK yarn for the inserts Scraps of green and black DK for the eyes.

Tell us what you think about it.
There are mistakes in the pattern. There is no chart to instruct how to sew on the various parts. All it does is refer you to the photo. There are no total number of stitches in a lot of the rows when increasing or decreasing. I've not completed it yet, so I'm not sure how it will all come together
An ingenious pattern, though rather fiddly in places. I found the spikes too tricky and found an easier way of making them. I'm still just half-way through making it, so hope it will look all right when finished.
