When using micro crochet thread and a fine hook, the dragon will be approximately:
• Length: about 4–5 cm (1.6–2 inches)

Because this is a micro amigurumi design, small hooks and fine thread are recommended for the most accurate result.

• Micro crochet hook
• Sewing needle
• Stuffing material
• Thin wire (optional depending on shaping)
• Scissors

You can adapt the project to slightly thicker yarn if you prefer a larger dragon.
