Hi! I’m Patricia McMahon and I publish my patterns as Dancing Triceratops Designs.

I design knitting patterns for distinctive accessories and adorable toys (dinosaurs a specialty).

I taught myself to knit over 30 years ago when I fell in love with a Kaffe Fassett colorwork design.

I designed my first pattern, a dinosaur, when I wanted to get a triceratops for a Christmas present for a friend and I could find any that I liked.
