I was trying to not make it look mean though. I wanted it to be cute.
Basically I did a magic circle, then 8 sc.
Next row increased to 16 sc, Row 3 24 sc. then I think row 4 and 5 are also 24sc. Row 6 is 30sc, Row 7 and 8 are 30sc then Row 9 is reduced to 25 and row 10 is reduced to 20 then a few rounds of 20.
Then the body is 20 around, Except I made two panels, one red with 12 sc for 28 rows then decreased to 10 for 6 rows and decreased to 8 for 4 rows. And then yellow 8 sc for 28 rows, decreased to 6 for 6 rows, decreased to 4 for 4 rows... then attached them. Once attached I used the red to then work in the round and create the tail decreasing when I thought it looked right.
The legs are 8sc in a magic circle for 5 rows.
The nostrils, hair, back scales, eye brow hair were all just trial and error.
I should have wrote it down
