Dinosaur Amigurmi

This free dinosaur amigurumi pattern is our latest creation. He’s a romping, stomping brontosaurus! I absolutely love dinosaurs, and seeing the latest Jurassic World movie inspired me to make this little guy. I hope you enjoy him as much as I do!

Materials

• Yarn 8 ply/DK or appropriate (see note below)
  
• Crochet hook (3 mm) or appropriate
• Safety eyes (optional)
• Stuffing

You can use any yarn and crochet hook combination that gives you good tension. Normally this would be a hook around two sizes smaller than that recommended on the yarn label. For the brontosaurus I used a 3 mm hook with approximately 120 grams of 8ply/DK acrylic yarn.

Crochet abbreviations (US terminology):

sc – single crochet

sl – slip stitch

dec – decrease

inc – increase

blo – crochet through back loops only

The numbers in brackets at the end of each round indicate how many stitches you should have at the end of the round
