In Memory of Saphira
This design was created as a special tribute to my beloved cat, Saphira whom I affectionately called "Dragon" because her deep, rumbling purr sounded just like a sleeping dragon. Designed using her fur colors and her favorite shades, this project holds a very special place in my heart as a lasting honor to her memory.
This intermediate pattern includes detailed written instructions and precise placement guides for the limbs, wings, and spine to achieve Saphira's dynamic, natural stance. Take your time with assembly, follow and read all reference the layout photos and notes for best results!
IMPORTANT: VIDEOS ARE A COMPLEMENT TO THE WRITTEN PATTERN, NOT A REPLACEMENT.These visual aids are designed solely to demonstrate specific tricky techniques (like short rounds and assembly). Please follow the written steps explicitly for all row counts, structural math, and standard stitches.
