Who Can Make the Dinosaur Brontosaurus Amigurumi?

What Materials Do I Need for This Project
Before getting down to crocheting, prepare a medium-weight yarn in your favorite color and a 4 mm crochet hook. You can use, for example, Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice or Super Saver (Solids) from Red Heart. These are aran-weight yarns with 100% acrylic fiber content, offering great softness and durability.
To make your crocheted dinosaur toy soft and squishy, be sure to stuff it with polyester fiberfill. You will also need two 12 mm safety eyes unless you’re making it for a baby – then it’s safer to go for embroidered eyes.
How to Crochet the Dinosaur Brontosaurus Amigurumi
You work the dinosaur body into one piece, starting from the base of the back, which basically is a simple circle. Once it’s done, you will begin to crochet the head and neck, and then connect it with the back piece to finish the dinosaur’s body.
The limbs and tail are made separately and will need some sewing, so be sure to have a tapestry needle in your stash.
The spots, chest, and face features are fully optional to make, depending on how you would like to customize your dinosaur piece. However, you must admit that these details make the brontosaurus amigurumi way more cute!
