Katchkan has a dragon filet but I don't know if it's welsh. Do you have a link to what a welsh dragon looks like?

I think this is the dragon she's looking for.

There is a site that will convert an image into a graph so you can do a graphgan. I don't know what it is off hand since I have never used it or made one. Another method of turning the image into a graph is to print out the picture, and overlay a piece of graph paper with squares small enough to capture the necessary detail and tape the two of them onto a lighted background (windows work well) and color or shade the squares to match the picture. You could also do the picture in fillet and not have to worry about the colors. It just depends on what you want. I'm sure there are lots of people on here who can help more than I can. You might also look for cross stitch patterns for it. The graph can be used for a graphgan or fillet so you don't have to worry about making one.

Here is a link to the Long Tailed Dragon in filet. If used with worsted weight yarn it can be used in a afghan. Not sure if it's the one for you though:
