Y Ddraig Goch The Welsh Dragon

We’re excited to share a delightful knitting pattern featuring the iconic Welsh dragon, a symbol of strength and resilience that embodies the local fighting spirit, especially evident in rugby! As an “incomer” to Wales (or a “Sqwelsh”), you’ll appreciate the vibrant culture and camaraderie that this cherished creature represents. This charming model or toy dragon measures approximately 10 inches long, making it a perfect addition to your collection or as a gift for a loved one.

For our easy-to-follow pattern, you will need 50g of DK (double knitting) yarn in a striking red hue to capture the essence of the Welsh dragon. If you prefer a thicker texture, this pattern can also be adapted to use aran yarn—just be sure to have around 100g on hand and work with 4mm needles for the best results. Whether you’re a beginner knitter or looking to add a fun project to your repertoire, this dragon pattern is ideal for all skill levels.

Join us in celebrating Welsh heritage by creating your own fierce dragon! With its unique character and playful spirit, this project is sure to impress fellow knitters and fans of Welsh culture alike.
