Is this Dinosaur Amigurumi Difficult to Make?

As such, this pattern will make an easy take for any crocheter with elementary crafting skills. The designer included helpful photos along with the written instructions to help those who might need extra help.
Prepare These Supplies Before You Start
This Dinosaur Amigurumi looks great when worked with medium-weight yarn and a 4 mm crochet hook.
Red Heart Super Saver is a great choice for plushie amigurumi projects, but you can also go for any other yarn accessible to you. The only thing you should pay attention to is that your yarn is medium-weight, or otherwise your toy will come out smaller or larger than the one seen in the photos.
To bring your dinosaur toy to life, you should also have some stuffing and a pair of 9 mm safety eyes.
Crochet Dinosaur Amigurumi – Overall Construction
You make this Stegosaurus amigurumi by first crocheting the body. It starts from the tip of the head and ends at the tail.
Once you have the main part done, you will crochet dinosaur spikes in different sizes and sew them onto the top of the toy’s body in the correct order. Now, you can work the chubby limbs that will be attached at the bottom.
Also, be sure to make the cute cheeks and spots on the dinosaur’s back for some extra charm.
