US G/6 (4.25 mm) crochet hook
Two, 10 mm black safety eyes

Yarn you will need:
Worsted weight yarn in lime green, bright yellow, medium blue, a scrap of black yarn (or black embroidery thread) for the nose

I used: Hobby Lobby I Love This Yarn in Limelight, Hobby Lobby I Love This Yarn in Yellow Neon, Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice in Aquamarine, and a scrap of black.

Some Notes:
• Pattern is written in US Terms and is worked in continuous rounds.
• You can crochet small circles using your scrap of black yarn to make eyes if you wish instead of using safety eyes.
• An assembly tip for each piece is provided to sew the dinosaur together. Use the pictures included as a visual placement guide.
