About time we had two dinosaur around here!! - especially a very blue and friendly one (ignore the teeth, they’re just there for show!

Mine is knitted flat, joining on sections as you go to eliminate loads of joining little parts.

I’ve added wire into the neck, body and limbs on mine but if you’re knitting yours for young children you may wish to just stuff them firmly instead - the neck will therefore flop but that’s ok.

Yarn-wise - I literally used stash sock yarn (2/3-ply) but also recommend 4-pky or even DK. You’ll need about 1/2 50g ball in the main colour and half that again for the belly.

Apart from that - a fairly straight-forward knit, I’ve added lots of photos to help with the making up of.

I hope you love yours as much as I’ve loved creating this dinosaur - check back for more dinos to come, maybe a scary one next time!
