A Parade of Rainbow Dinosaurs
The pattern includes detailed instructions for five crochet plushies, each inspired by different dinosaur species. Choose between cheerful Pteranodon (yellow), playful Stegosaurus (pink), gentle Brachiosaurus (green), brave T. rex (blue), and adorable Triceratops (red), or create a lovely dinosaur toy set by making all of them!
What You’ll Need Before You Begin
To make an adorable dinosaur amigurumi that stands about 5 inches (12 cm) tall, go for sport-weight yarn and a 1.3 mm hook. The samples seen in the photos were crocheted with Vita Lira in vibrant shades. Any other acrylic or cotton-acrylic blend yarn should work great, too. You can even consider using a different weight or hook size to make your toys bigger.
Apart from that, you will also need stuffing, wire, and black and white felt for the eyes.
Techniques That Bring Dinos to Life
This pattern will suit crocheters with intermediate amigurumi experience, offering a challenging yet rewarding project. Each dinosaur is intricately crocheted in a spiral, so be sure to use stitch markers to keep track of the worked rounds.
Most dinosaur parts are made separately and then sewn together. You will use stitches like single crochet, double crochet, and treble crochet, as well as some shaping techniques.
