These basic techniques include the following crochet stitches:

With just these few crochet techniques, you can conquer many of the dragon tail crochet patterns and be crocheting them in no time. And fortunately, these very crochet stitches are also quite easy to learn. But if you do stumble across a crochet technique that you're not familiar with, there's no need to despair. With the help of the free crochet lexicon on Crazypatterns, you will find a clear explanation of each crochet stitch, including pictures, which will help you learn the respective technique.

Once you have finished crocheting your dragon tail and sewn all the threads, it is a good idea to block it before using it. By stretching a finished crochet shawl, you'll ensure that it doesn't get warped as much, and therefore retains its pretty, unique shape. If you don't stretch the shawl, you run the risk of it curling unsightly or even looking completely crooked. Depending on the type of crochet yarn you used, there are different possibilities for blocking your finished dragon tail, which you are welcome to discuss with the community on the forum.

Buying Crochet Patterns for Dragon Tails

You can buy most of the crochet patterns for dragon tails on Crazypatterns for a very small fee. The tutorials will not cost more than a few euros, no matter how elaborately they have been created. Every member of the community who takes the trouble to create a new crochet pattern does it voluntarily and goes to great lengths to make it as understandable as possible. The provider thinks up a crochet project, puts it into text carefully and in detail, and provides explanatory pictures to go along with it. All this work should be rewarded by the small amount you pay for the crochet pattern.

You are not buying a finished dragon tail or a finished crocheted garment, but you are buying the crochet pattern that will guide you step by step to the final product. For this, the costs are really manageable and completely within the scope. The provider of the respective crochet manual is thus directly supported monetarily, and you show her or him that good work has been done. This way you also encourage them to continue creating such wonderful crochet patterns and uploading them to Crazypatterns. The amount of work that goes into a finished crochet pattern is not immediately apparent. However, each time it means that the provider not only thinks up the project herself, but actually crochets it several times so that the instructions are really understandable. In addition, photos must also be taken, which they then want to insert into the instructions as an explanation or to illustrate particularly tricky passages. All these steps are included in the finished tutorial and then the few dollars are worth it when the result is such a detailed and understandable crochet pattern.
