sock dragon

If you’ve tried sewing sock animals, you know how much fun (and easy) they are. So, after doing a few, how about trying this new one? Drake the Sock Dragon is another interesting sewing craft to try. If you’ve tried the others like Sam the Sock Sheep and Marcho the Sock Monkey, you won’t find this one too difficult.

sock dragon pattern

Drake the sock dragon is a happy 8 1/2” dragon toy and inspired by the famous reptilian sea monster, Godzilla. Unlike his ancestor, though, Drake is a sweetheart of a dragon – kind and always looking for a way to be nice to others. He’s also different because he doesn’t live in the water. Instead, he has wings and can fly from place to place.

However, in many ways, he still looks like a Godzilla. He has the furrowed brows that give him a frowny look, a spiky back and tail, and strong-looking feet. He has short arms to hug with, which he loves to do. To be honest, he looks like a comical Godzilla, with a big tummy that causes him to waddle as he walks (because it gets in the way when he moves!). In fact, they get in the way so much, he can only take short, little steps as he walks. So, he prefers to just sit and relax by the river, and occasionally fish when he’s hungry.

dragon tail

Looking at Drake the sock dragon is guaranteed to put a smile on anyone’s face. He sits there trying to look fierce like a real dragon, but the harder he tries to look ferocious, the cuter he actually looks. When he tries so hard to look fierce and terrifying, it makes you want to hug and cuddle him even more!

Sock Dragon Sewing Pattern

Yield: 8 1/2″ Stuffed Dragon
Active Time: 8 hours
Total Time: 8 hours
Difficulty: Intermediate /Advance Level
Estimated Cost: $3 - $10

Free pattern & tutorial to sew sock dragon with 2 pairs of socks. This cute little sock dragon has a pair of small arms, a pair of big feet, a pair of bat wings & a spiky back.

Drake the sock dragon is the evolution species from the Japanese famous reptilian sea monster, Godzilla. Unlike its ancestry, Drake is a kindhearted dragon who affectionates on peace and love.

Drake has inherited the furrowed brows, Spiky back and tail, and strong foot. Its feet and arms are shorter as it needs them just for walking and hugging.

Drake has grown a bigger tummy which makes it a little clumsy to walk around. It prefers to sit down and relax by the river and fishing for its meal.

HOW TO SEW DRAKE SOCK DRAGON

  1. PREPARATION:
    Gather all the tools and materials needed for the sewing of the sock dragon.
    Download and print out the sock dragon templates for the arm, foot, wing, and spikes. You might need to resize the templates so that they fit into your socks size.
    Turn all socks wrong side out. Align 1 adult sock & 2 toddler socks on the side, 1 adult sock on the foot, make sure they are symmetrical on both layers. Lightly iron if necessary.sock dragon materials
  2. DRAW, SEW & CUT:
    Dragon Belly:
    Place the solid color adult sock on a toddler stripe sock as shown in the picture.
    Mark the seam line on the adult sock as indicated in the yellow dash line.

    Mark the seam line on the toddler sock as shown in the white dash line in the picture.
    This is the belly of the dragon.

    All Parts:
    Trace arm and foot template on the sock. Mark 1″ down from the corner on the toe part, this is the snout of the dragon.
    Sew the arms and feet, remember to leave about 1″ opening for turning right side out and stuffing after sewn.
    Cut all parts with at least 1/8″ seam allowance. Cut the snout on the marking line.sock dragon pattern

    Trace the spikes (5 big, 2 medium, and 2 small) and wings on the toddler socks.
    Sew spikes and wings with opening allowance for the right side out and stuff.
    Cut all parts with at least 1/8″ seam allowance.sock dragon pattern

    How To Add Belly Piece To The Sock Dragon Body:
    The belly piece and the body piece of the sock dragon.

    Pin the top and bottom of the belly piece to the dragon body.
    Align the sides and pin.
    Sew the belly piece to the body.
    Then sew the tail part and leave about 1 1/2″ opening for turning right side out.

    Turn parts right-side out:
    a.) Turn all parts right side out.
    b.) Use a pair of blunt tip tweezers to turn the spikes. Place the tweezers on the tip of the spike.
    c.) Pull and flip the sock right side out without moving the tweezers.
    d.) The spike with a neat and nice tip. Repeat the same to 9 of them.spikes
  3. STUFFING:
    a.) All parts after being turned right side out.
    b.) Stuff all parts firmly.
    c.) Slip stitch the opening of the tail.
    d.) Pull thread to shut the opening.
    Sew to close the openings of the feet, arms, wings, and spikes.dragon body

    Arrange the spikes in the order of 5 large, followed by 2 medium, then 2 small. The last small spike is going to attach to the tip of the tail.dragon spikes
  4. ASSEMBLY:
    Head:
    a.) The body of the dragon after stuffing.
    b.) Mark the brow lines on the head with an erasable fabric marker. Outer lines are about 1/2″ down from the seam corner of the sock’s toe part, horizontal. Inner lines are vertically down (follow the sock knit-grain) from the inner seam corner of the sock’s toe. Sew ladder stitches between these 2 lines. Pull thread to form the thick brow of the dragon. It is the same method as sewing the brows of the sock owl.
    c.) Mark the snout position on the face.
    d.) Pin the snout to the marking, top, bottom, left, and right.dragon face

    Sew Snout, Nose, And Eyes:
    a.) Start from the center bottom, sew the snout to the face with a slip stitch. Stuff the snout 1″ just before completing. Continue to sew to complete the snout. Knot the thread but don’t cut. It is the same method as sewing the mouth for the sock monkey.
    b.) Insert the needle into the snout and come out from the corner of the sock toe seam. Sew a bead there and make a few stitches. Insert the needle back to the snout and come out at the bottom again.
    c.) Insert it back and this time to the corner of another toe seam. Pull the thread to sunken the first bead. Repeat the bead sewing here. Needle back to the bottom, pull to sunken the second bead. Knot, hide knot, and thread.
    d.) Sew eyes to the face. Pull the thread to sink the eyes a little.

    This is how the snout looks like after completing all sewings.

    Stitch On The Spikes:
    a.) The look of the sock dragon after completing the brows, snout, nostrils, and eyes.
    b.) Align the spikes at the center back of the dragon with the last smallest spike on the tip of the tail. Space out a little towards the tail if you have enough space.
    c.) Sew around each spike to the dragon, sew them close to each other. Make a few stitches between spikes so that they can align better. If you space out the spikes towards the tail end, sew and pull them closely, this will make the tip of the tail tilt up a little (compare the tail tip of picture b.).dragon tail

    Attach The Legs And Arms:
    a.) Sew the yellow footprint to the bottom of the foot. Position the feet to the dragon, it can be in a sitting position or standing position, as long as the dragon can stay firm and won’t topple off. Pin.
    b.) Sew around the feet to attach them to the dragon's body.
    c.) Position arms to the dragon, pin and sew around just like sewing the feet.
    d.) After finish sewing the arms, make a few stitches between the arms and across the body, pull to set the arms into the body. It makes the dragon more hug inviting.dragon limbs

    Add A Pair Of Wings To The Sock Dragon:
    a.) Hand-sew the wings with a tidy running stitch to resemble a batwing.
    b.) Sew to attach them on the back of the dragon, about 1″ to 1 1/4″ from the spikes.
    c.) Cut the red felt to make a snake tongue.
    d.) Sew it on the snout. Embroidery branch stitch on the snout to make a smiley mouth.dragon wings

Notes

HOW TO SECURE THE KNOT: Secure the knot by inserting the needle between the 2 threads.secure knot sewing
The knot is locked with the sock and it won’t slip away through the knits when you pull the thread during sewing.secure knot sewing

WHY DO WE HAVE TO HAND DRAWN PATTERN? Not all socks are the same size, so I can’t provide a standard printable template for this sock animal. The best way to proceed is to sketch out the sewing line by referring to the pictures. 

DOLL SIZES: For different sizes of sock animals, use different sizes of socks.

SOCK CHOICE: Socks will be stretched after they are stuffed so thick socks that are close-knit make better quality sock sheep toys. 

SEAM ALLOWANCE: Approximately 1/8” or 1/4”.
You need bigger seam allowance for loose-knit and thinner sock materials because they can be ripped off easily

STUFFING: always massage the stuffing to loosen out lumps. Long tubular parts should be rolled with both hands so any lumps will be smooth, and help to make the parts longer and firmer.

    I’ve been wanting to make this pattern for so long and finally got to it! It’s absolutely darling. Perfect instructions! I did the face just a bit different as my embroidery skills aren’t very good – so I just needle sculpted the mouth instead.

    hey, i know this tutorial is a few years old but i think your arm/foot/wing/spike template is inaccurate – it says to cut 2 each of the arm, foot, wing, small spike and medium spike and 5 of the large spike, but those quantities should be doubled since you need a front and back for each piece in order to sew them together and stuff them. just saying 🙂

      You are right, Bob, on the quantity stated in the template. However, if you refer back to my tutorial, I actually cut them out from the sock which is already in a double layer.

I’ll see if i can explain what I am needing help with….ok, the wings, you say to stuff them then use a running stitch to go over and around to make them look like bat wings, some definition! Ok, well, when I did that it didn’t look like yours, it didnt have the definition to separate the areas of the wings. I dont know how you got that without stitching to the other side of the wing, to get the tension needed to make the thread tight enough to get the definition. Thats the issue I’m having …hope you can help, thank you, Chantel

      Hi Linda, sorry about the the brows. Let me try to explain here, as you can see from the picture b, there are dashed lines indicated on the head. Sew a ladder stitch from left to right, then from right to left on the dashed lines. After you have finished with the sewing, pull the thread to make the brow bumps up. Hope this helps.

    Hi
    I noticed that on the template it said not for sale, is that the pattern or does it mean that any cute little drakes I make I can’t sell?
    Kind regards

        Thank you! I was about to ask if it’s okay to sell the finished dragon, but I see you’ve answered that question already. Several of my friends saw the photo when it came up in Facebook Memories and want to pay me to make them. I will be sure to credit you with a link back to your blog when I make the gift tags for them. 🙂

        OMG this is adorable! I have an overabundance of white socks and didn’t want to make plain white dragons – I’ll have to give tie dye a try!

    I’m expecting my first child and I’ve been trying to practice my sewing. This looks like it will be a fun challenge for me, and an adorable toy for my child once he’s a bit older.

      I bought my sock from a local shop called Sox World. Heard that they import most of their sock from Taiwan. As far as I know, they don’t have online store yet.

    Hi there,
    I am a big fan of all your paterns. I tried to save the tutorial as a PDF file, like I did earlier with other paterns, but it doesn’t work. Did something change or do you have any tips on how download the tutorials? Thanks a lot!
    Kind regards a fan from Holland

      Hi Imke,
      The new print button is not working well (just get to know it few hours ago). I am asking the team to look into it. Meanwhile, please use the old print button which I have just installed back (just below that stretch of buttons) to print and save it.
      Sorry for any inconvenient caused.

    Joanne, I have to say that you have a wonderful design perspective. The things that you can do with socks is unbelievable. I thought your owl was the best…but now Drake has got to be the cutest dragon any little child would ever want. Thank God for the insight to give you the abilities that you have. And Thank You for sharing them with us.

    Hi! This little dragon is DARLING!

    But I can’t get PDF version of the tutorial to display.

    All I get is the three-page version, not the version with the directions and all the photos of it being assembled.

    Can you help? I’d love to make one of these.

    Thank you!

        Thanks for the response. I didn’t have trouble getting the template, just the PDF of the TUTORIAL. I can get the PDF of the 3-pages that talk about the dragon, but I’m trying to print off the actual instructions. I can’t get that PDF to download.

        Any suggestions?

        Thanks. 🙂

          Now I understand after trying out the PrintFriendly button. The print button can’t recognize the second page so it only generate the first page. Let me try to fix it, otherwise, will have to contact the developer of the button.

          Thanks for informing and I will get it fix.
          For the moment, you can go to http://www.printfriendly.com/, copy and paste the link http://www.craftpassion.com/2014/04/how-to-sew-sock-dragon.html/2 into the box to generate the pdf document manually.
