Tail & Leg Details (using Light Green yarn):

For the tail, chain 12, work 11 sc back along the chain, increasing slightly at the tip. For the legs (make 4), create simple small balls of 6 sc to sew to the underside of the dragon body.

Spines & Wings (using Dark Green yarn):

For the back spines, chain 15, work [sl st, ch 2, dc, ch 2, sl st] in alternating chains to create a jagged spine piece. Sew along the dragon’s back from head to tail. For the wings (make 2), chain 6, work back with hdc and dc stitches to form a small wing triangle, then sew to the upper back.

Treasure Chest (using Brown & Yellow yarn):

Using brown, work in rows of single crochet to create a rectangular cube shape (approximately 12 sts wide and 10 rows deep for the base, and a separate curved lid piece). Edge the lid and base with yellow yarn highlights. Sew tiny colored beads into the opening crease of the chest to simulate gold and jewels, and attach the gold bead to the front center as a padlock. Assemble all pieces securely and attach the keychain loop to the dragon’s back.
