How Tall Is the Finished Baby Dinosaur Amigurumi?
The approximate height of this crochet dinosaur is 5”/13 cm. This makes it a great pocket-sized toy for kids as well as a charming room decoration or desk buddy. You can also turn it into a cute dinosaur keychain charm by working it with a smaller hook and fingering/sport weight yarn.
Gather Your Crochet Supplies
The Baby Dinosaur Amigurumi Pattern suggests using Red Heart Super Saver and a 5 mm hook.
Red Heart Super Saver is an acrylic medium-weight yarn frequently used for amigurumi projects. It’s soft, durable, and available in a multitude of colors, allowing you to create the cuddliest handmade toys. The designer used three different shades for the dinosaurs’ colorful design.
You will also need some polyester fiberfill to stuff your toy. For the eyes, you can cut out small circles from black felt or use safety eyes if your child is over 3 years old.
Step-by-Step Dino Construction
The pattern is crocheted in the round, incorporating basic stitches like single crochet, increases, and decreases. This makes it accessible to crocheters with different skill levels.
For beginners and visual learners, the designer also prepared an easy-to-follow video tutorial. You can check it out below.
