Is the Triceratops Crochet Pattern for Beginners?

Basic knowledge of crochet stitches and amigurumi techniques is essential to make this lovely crochet dinosaur. You should know how to work stitches in joined rounds and spirals. The pattern also requires quite a lot of shaping and sewing, which is why it is not recommended for absolute beginners.

Supplies Checklist Before You Start

To bring this adorable dinosaur amigurumi to life, you will need the most essential materials, like a hook and yarn, but also some extra supplies. Here is what you should get:

  • fingering cotton yarn such as Hobbii Rainbow Cotton 8/4
  •  a 2.5 mm hook
  • polyester fiberfill
  • embroidery needle

For the best effects, be sure to use three different yarn colors. The more vibrant the shades, the more cartoon-like your toy will get.

Crochet Construction Explained

You will crochet this Triceratops dinosaur amigurumi in separate pieces, including its head, body, legs and horns as well as cute spot details. 

The most shaping is done for the head part, which features a large frill characteristic of these animals. But don’t worry, the pattern instructions are very clear and you’ll be using mostly single crochets, half double crochets, increases, and decreases.

How to Make This Crochet Triceratops Bigger

If you use the recommended set of supplies, the completed crochet dinosaur toy will be of a small size, perfect for a shelf or desk display. However, you can easily make it bigger by using thicker yarn and a larger hook.

By switching to medium-weight yarn and a 4 mm or 5 mm crochet hook, your amigurumi should turn into a chunky handmade plushie waiting for cuddles.
