Crochet Tutorial: Sunflower Dragon in Rainbow Garden Overalls – Free Crochet Pattern.

This cheerful sunflower dragon is a bright garden-themed amigurumi with a rounded yellow body, long snout, sleepy white eye patches, green eyes, small wings, a blue horn, and colorful rainbow overalls. The finished set includes a sunflower hat, crossbody sunflower bag, blue sandals, a flower basket, and a small watering can, matching the playful handmade look shown in the image.

Please note: I strive for accuracy in every pattern, but occasional errors can happen. Thank you for understanding and for enjoying my designs.

Finished Size

Using sport weight cotton yarn and a 2.25 mm crochet hook, the dragon measures about 12 inches tall from feet to top of head, not including the blue horn. The hat is about 5 inches wide. The basket and watering can are small display accessories sized to sit beside the doll.

Skill Level

This pattern is best for confident beginners to intermediate crocheters. Most pieces use single crochet in continuous rounds, with careful shaping for the snout, eye patches, wings, overalls, flowers, sandals, and accessories.

Materials

• Sport weight cotton yarn in sunflower yellow, turquoise blue, medium green, orange, brown, white, black, light gray, tan, soft peach, and a small amount of bright blue.
• 2.25 mm crochet hook for the doll and accessories.
• 2.0 mm crochet hook for tiny flowers, facial details, bag strap, and small decorative pieces.
• 10 mm green safety eyes or green flat-backed doll eyes.
• Fiberfill stuffing.
• Yarn needle.
• Stitch markers.
• Small buttons, 2 pieces, about 6 mm, for the overall straps.
• Optional: thin floral wire for the basket handle and watering can spout if the item is for display only.
• Optional: fabric glue for securing very tiny flower centers.

Gauge and Texture

For the neat, dense texture shown in the image, crochet tightly enough that stuffing does not show through. A good gauge is about 7 sc and 7 rounds per inch with sport weight cotton and a 2.25 mm hook.

The dragon should feel firm but still soft. Stuff the snout, head, body, and legs strongly. Stuff the arms lightly so they hang close to the sides. Wings are made flat with very little stuffing, so the turquoise panels remain crisp.

Important Pattern Notes

• Work most amigurumi pieces in continuous spiral rounds unless the pattern says to join.
• Use a stitch marker in the first stitch of every round.
• Stuff gradually as you work. Do not wait until the opening becomes too small.
• All color changes are made in the last yarn-over of the stitch before the new color begins.
• The overalls are crocheted as clothing directly over the lower body, then finished with straps and a skirt-like lower band.
• For the best image match, keep the dragon bright yellow, the overalls turquoise with green and orange stripes, and the floral details sunflower yellow with brown centers.

Pin the snout to the lower center of the head. The top edge should sit around R13 of the head, and the bottom edge around R21. Sew around firmly. Add extra stuffing before closing the last inch so the snout keeps its full rounded shape.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

3. Attach the white eye patches above the snout. Place the green eyes evenly and add black rings if desired.
4. Sew the nostril bobbles to the snout. Keep them small and raised, not flat.
5. Sew arms to the upper body and legs to the lower body. The feet should rest forward.
6. Sew wings to the back, angled upward and outward.
7. Add the blue horn, yellow head ridges, sunflower headpiece, green leaves, and tiny bee.
8. Dress the dragon with the crossbody bag, then position the hat, basket, and watering can beside it for display.
9. Check the overalls, straps, buttons, sunflower bib applique, sandals, and orange collar so every detail is visible from the front.

Care Notes

Spot clean the dragon gently with cool water and mild soap. Avoid soaking the doll if safety eyes, buttons, glue, or wire are used. Press the cleaned area with a towel and let the toy air dry completely before storing or displaying.

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

• The head is round and firmly stuffed.
• The snout is long, smooth, and centered under the eyes.
• The eye patches are white, oval, and slightly angled inward.
• The overalls are turquoise with green and orange rainbow garden stripes.
• The front bib has a sunflower applique.
• The wings show yellow edges with turquoise inner panels.
• The blue horn, head sunflower, bee, bag, hat, sandals, basket, and watering can are all attached or displayed.

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

Store the finished sunflower dragon away from direct sunlight to keep the yellow, turquoise, green, and orange colors bright. If the doll is used for display, dust it with a soft brush every few weeks. Keep the flower basket and watering can in a small box when not displayed so the tiny petals do not bend.

For long-term storage, wrap the doll loosely in clean tissue paper and avoid heavy items on top of it. Do not machine wash if the project includes buttons, safety eyes, floral wire, or glued details. Reshape the snout, wings, hat brim, and basket flowers gently after cleaning.
