MOVIE SPOILERS: If making Toothless from How To Train Your Dragon 2, make an additional
spike strip and sew them next to each other down the back. Embroider blue nostrils too if
you'd like.

Round 8: 21sc, inc, sc (place a marker here, “nose marker”), inc, 24sc (50)
Round 9: sc around leave markers in place sl st f/o (50)

See pictures. Put head pieces together right sides facing each other. It does not matter
which one is the “top”. Put the two neck markers together. Matching up their stitches use
one of the markers to pin them together, removing the other marker. The neck markers at
the top will help find the neck opening. You will not sew this gap closed. The neck markers
will not line up.

You will sew the halves together with sc around working right to left. Line the pieces up
starting at the nose marker. You might need to pin every few stitches until you get to the
starting stitch. Make a slip knot as if you are going to start a chain. Pull the slip knot through
both pieces starting at the 5th stitch from the neck marker, chain 1, and sc around through
both pieces until you are at the 5th stitch from the other neck marker. Do not fasten off.
Turn right side out.
