00:33from my store the link is in the description box below let's go ahead and start off with a
00:42magic ring for round one of the arms you are going to insert five single crochets into the
00:49magic ring so here is one two three four and five single crochets and I'm going to tighten my ring
01:08and for rounds two to seven all you're gonna do is actually just single crochet around so we're not
01:16doing any increasing or any decreasing you're just going to insert your hook into each stitch and
01:25make a single crochet so that's one two three four and five
01:46and I want to be sure to push my work um so that the right side is facing out
02:00and now I'm going to continue with the rest of my rounds
02:12I'll demonstrate round three here so
02:20one
02:27two
02:43and keep working until you finish round number seven here's the completed arm working all the way
02:55up to round seven we can go ahead and fasten off with a long yarn tail because you're going to
03:02be
03:02sewing this arm to the body so make sure you have a generous amount for sewing and pull in the
03:12starting
03:13yarn tail as well I always like to tighten my magic ring one more time before pulling it in
03:28all right I'll also snip off the end here because it's quite long
03:38there's the arm go ahead and make two of these for your dragon
03:46let's go ahead and crochet the itty bitty legs for the legs you're going to use two different colors
03:53we're going to start with the base of the foot so I'm using pink for that part to begin round
04:00one of
04:01the feet you're going to go ahead and make a magic ring
04:07and in the magic ring you're going to insert seven single crochets so that's one two three four
04:22five six and seven
04:32and you're going to tighten the ring to finish round one for round two you're going to go ahead and
04:39switch
04:39to the main body color or the main leg color and we're going to attach that new yarn
04:47i'm using purple for this section so for this i'm going to go ahead with round two
04:55working into the back loops of the previous round for round two you're just going to crochet in back
05:03loops all the way around so as you can see i'm not going into both loops only the one in
05:12the back
05:15and that will give you a total of seven stitches around
05:32and you can go ahead and fasten off the original pink yarn so that it doesn't get in your way
05:45and i'm just pushing my piece out a little bit so that the right side faces out
05:52there we go all right
05:59for round number three you're going to single crochet twice decrease twice and then single crochet
06:06so let's go ahead and work through that single crochet in the first stitch
06:18single crochet in that next stitch decrease
06:26I'm just going to do a regular decrease here
06:34and then decrease again
06:45and then single crochet to finish
06:54you're going to fasten off with a long tail for sewing
07:08and the part with the decreases the two decreases is the very top of your foot
07:14it's going to have because of the two decreases it's going to have a little bit of a
07:20um point so it looks like the toes all right and you're going to want to either snip off all
07:30the ends
07:30here or stuff them into your um dragon's leg you don't have to add stuffing because there's not
07:39very much um space in there to add stuffing in the first place
07:46and i'm just gonna get my littlest hook available here and poke those yarn tails in
07:58all right go ahead and make two of them so you have two little feet for your dragon
