New Chinese New Year Pattern: Meet Rong-Yi the Chinese Dragon!

“Rong-Yi (荣毅 - meaning “glory” or “honour”) is an intelligent young dragon from the mountains of Western China. Like those born in the Year of the Dragon, he is charming, confident and naturally lucky. He hopes that some of his luck may rub off on you in the year to come!”

A bigger, bolder pattern than I’m used to making, this flashy chap comes to you in time for Chinese New Year - this year falling on Saturday 10th February 2024! The Dragon is a staple in celebrations of the Lunar New Year, historically viewed in China as a symbol of power and good fortune. It is especially relevant this year as 2024 is the Year of the Dragon!

Make your very own Chinese Dragon with this pattern! In future years I may make patterns for the other animals of the Chinese zodiac, so keep an eye out for those!

Make Rong-Yi the Chinese Dragon your next crochet project today! You can download the pattern on Etsy or Ravelry, or find more information on the pattern here.

Happy Crafting!
