An original crochet amigurumi Pteranodon pattern from the dinosaur range by June Gilbank.

Pteranodon was a type of Pterodactyl, a member of the Pterosaur family. (Pterosaurs aren’t actually true dinosaurs, but flying reptiles that lived in the same time period.) Pteranodon had a 20-30 ft wingspan, a long toothless beak, and a characteristic cranial crest at the back of its head. It ate fish and molluscs and lived in the late Cretaceous period.

Yarn: worsted weight yarn (the pteranodon pictured uses Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice yarn)

Hook: US E / 3.5mm

Size: approx 7” tall, with a 9.5” wingspan
