📐 FINISHED SIZE
Approx. 45" x 60" (114 x 152 cm) including border
Easy to resize: add or remove scales in groups of 6 chains (about 1.75" each), and work more or fewer rows for length
 
🪝 PATTERN DETAILS
🐉 Stitch: dragon scale / crocodile stitch
🧠 Stitches used: chain, double crochet, slip stitch (single crochet and half double crochet for the border only)
🌍 Terminology: US crochet terms
🌱 Skill level: Intermediate. Only basic stitches, but working the scales around the stitch posts takes a few rows to master. A confident beginner can do it.
📏 Gauge: 14 dc and 8 rows = 4" (10 cm)
 
🛍️ MATERIALS NEEDED
🧶 Worsted / medium weight (#4) yarn, approx. 3,000–3,400 yds (2,750–3,100 m) in total
🎨 4 colours: approx. 750 yds each + 250 yds for the border colour (5 colours: approx. 600 yds each)
🪝 5.5 mm (US I-9) crochet hook
🪡 Tapestry needle and scissors
📌 Stitch markers (optional)
 
💡 This stitch uses about twice the yarn of a plain blanket. Buy all your yarn at once, from the same dye lot.
 
🎨 WHICH YARN AND COLOURS?
The pattern includes a full page answering this. Recommended soft worsted yarns: Lion Brand Basic Stitch Anti-Pilling, Red Heart Soft, Paintbox Yarns Simply Aran (acrylic), or Lion Brand Wool-Ease (wool blend). The 5 palettes from our photos are shown with colour swatches: Earthy Harvest, Jewel Berry, Pastel Rainbow, Natural Neutrals and Ocean Gradient.
Cotton also works but makes a much heavier blanket.

Questions makers ask

Do I need to print anything?
Not unless you want to. The pattern is a clean PDF you can follow straight from your phone, tablet, or laptop. If you'd rather work from paper, it prints on regular A4 or US Letter with no special setup — and the layout is designed so you're not wasting ink on backgrounds.
I'm a complete beginner — can I do this?
Absolutely. Our patterns are designed to be beginner-friendly, with clear, illustrated step-by-step instructions that guide you through the whole process. Thousands of first-time makers have crocheted our patterns with no prior experience.
How do I get my pattern after I buy?
Instantly. The moment your payment is confirmed, your files are ready to download — and we'll also email you a download link so you always have access. No waiting, no shipping.
Can I sell what I make?
Yes! You're welcome to sell finished items you make from our patterns. We just ask that you don't share, resell, or redistribute the pattern files themselves.
What yarn and hook do I need?
Every pattern lists the exact yarn weight, hook size, and yardage up front, along with the gauge swatch so your finished piece comes out the right size. You can substitute any yarn of the same weight — just check your gauge first.
What if I get stuck?
We're here to help. If anything's unclear or you run into trouble, just reach out by email and we'll get you back on track — usually within 24 hours.
