All those pieces from the previous post are now all sewn together to create this 12 inch dragon. I used a 3.25 hook rather than the 4.00 hook suggested from the pattern. I also added a record button in one of the feet and recorded "Puff the Magic Dragon" for a 20 second play. My little birthday guy will be receiving a singing "Happy Birthday" cupcake and "Puff" the magic Dragon.

It's always somebodies birthday somewhere in the world. HAPPY BIRTHDAY. This past week I've been organizing my time between crocheting and planning a birthday party for my daughter along with making gifts for 2 other birthdays within days of each other. This is one of 3 cupcakes I am doing. The photo below shows the assembly of pieces in creating some cupcakes. The gift I am making for my grandson is a singing Dragon. He has a recording box in his foot which sings "Puff the Magic Dragon". The photo below show the pieces involved in creating this dragon. I'll post a picture of him when he is assembled. Until then....... Happy Hooking!

How to make an invisible decrease without showing a demarcation line in your work. Here is a video clip to show how this is done. Insert hook into the front loop of the next single crochet and pull a loop through then insert hook through both loops of the next single crochet and pull a loop through. Yarn over the hook and pull through all 3 loops on hook-creating one decrease stitch. There you have it. I learn something new every day. I hope you do too. Enjoy!
