Daenerys Targaryen, one of the most famous characters on the popular fantasy show Game of Thrones, is known for being the Mother of Dragons and for her dragon eggs. These plush knit dragon eggs by Etsy shop owner "FantasticGift" are a tribute to Game of Thrones season one when Daenerys' full-grown dragons were little eggs waiting to hatch.
"FantasticGifts" came up with the pattern for these plush dragon eggs using a crochet knitting style. The stitch used is called a crocodile stitch that lends itself beautifully to the medieval look of these oval-shaped dragon eggs. Each stitch forms a scale-like design that fits perfectly into the dragon theme of these eggs. "FantasticGifts" recommends using a black, dark green or beige wool color to replicate the dragon egg colors from the show.
