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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baked-goods-plushies) by [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dprinted-cookie-cutters) shop owner "FantasticGift" are a tribute to Game of Thrones season one when Daenerys' full-grown dragons were [little eggs waiting to hatch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dinosaur-toys).

"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.
