Who wouldn’t love such an adorable plushie as Danny the Dinosaur Amigurumi from Cuddly Stitches Craft. This free crochet pattern allows you to make a lovely dino soft toy for your children. With its detailed appearance, it’s sure to win the heart of every little dinosaur enthusiast.
Intermediate-Level Crochet Dinosaur Pattern
This project requires a lot of shaping and sewing to bring this cute buddy to life, which makes it suitable for intermediate crocheters.
The toy is worked in continuous rounds and uses invisible decreases for a nice, polished look without any visible seams and bumps. The designer offers easy-to-follow written instructions to help you create your own Danny the Dinosaur amigurumi.
What Yarn Do I Need to Crochet This Dinosaur Toy?
The pattern calls for sport-weight yarn and a 3 mm hook. With the suggested materials, you will produce a 12-inch (30.5cm) toy perfect for cuddles.
The sample seen in the photos was made with YarnArt Jeans, a soft blend of cotton and acrylic. However, any other fiber content should work great too. You will need only two yarn colors to complete this cute dinosaur friend.
How to Customize This Dinosaur Amigurumi
Whether you are going to craft this crochet dinosaur toy for your kids or as a gift, it will become a cherished piece in any plushie collection. Keep it in the original green colorway or go for a unique shade that nobody expects to see.
Another fun way to personalize it is to add some facial details like brows or a friendly smile. Or how about giving your dinosaur a fancy cartoonish touch by sewing on a bow tie? A satin ribbon wrapped around its neck will look cute, too!
