Crochet your own adorable brachiosaurus dinosaur cross-body bum bag (also called a messenger bag or fanny pack) with this downloadable PDF crochet pattern. Leopold is a practical dinosaur with happy eyes, a cute pink lining and a handy zipper. The main bag is 20 cm (7.75”) long and 10 cm (4.00”) deep (not including the head and the legs), and the bag strap measures approximately 70 cm (27.5” ) but can be made to a custom length.

Leopold the Brachiosaurus bag is perfect when you’re out and about wearing dresses without pockets. It’s big enough to fit your phone, wallet, keys and other trinkets that you like to bring with you on adventures. Make it for yourself or gift it to someone you know who loves dinosaurs and fun, whimsical bags!
