It is clear that a lot of work went into this pattern. I made a couple of errors along the way that I needed to undo and correct, but I am very happy with my final result. The recipient of it (I made it as a gift for my daughter’s friend) was also very happy. I started each piece with a magic ring instead of the ch 2 as indicated by the pattern. That option could be included in the pattern. I would include a photo of my make, but couldn’t see a way to do that. This is such a wonderfully detailed design that was satisfying to make.

Your designing skill is really quite special. The free pattern was good, but you deserve the recognition. Thanks so much.

A beautifully written pattern, easy to follow. Love the check boxes for each row. Only halfway through but he is already looking good.

Vincent the Dragon is an awesome project. I loved making mine and sold the two I made at craft shows last year. I worked from the website for those, then saw the updated Premium pattern was available, so I decided to add it to my library. I’m working on another one from the updated pattern. Kati is amazing with her creative designs and well-written patterns. I appreciate her wonderful ideas and letting fellow crafters also feel proud of their accomplishment because she shares her creative talent and ability to write clear patterns. Thanks so much!

Your directions are clear & easy to follow. Rarely buy a pattern but this one is very much worth it. Was worried the pattern would be too advanced for me, but your step-by-step instructions & pictures make it much easier.
About 3/4 done so far & my grandson can hardly wait till it is done. Grandkids already have plans for the next one(s).
Thank you for designing & writing out this pattern. Well done!

So far I’ve only done the wings to make a “Puppy Dragon” that my daughter-in-law asked for. I’ll definitely make the full dragon eventually. The directions are clear and logical, easy to follow.

I haven’t yet started this project. I did find the purchasing experience really easy. The download was almost instant.
I’m looking forward to making Vincent. The instructions appear to be very explicit.
