Knitting Pattern: Mochi Cat
Mochi Dino is a soft, rounded knit dinosaur inspired by the stegosaurus — a gentle giant known for its calm nature. This pattern focuses on clean construction, sturdy shaping, and subtle embroidered details to create a timeless knit toy suitable for display, gifting, or gentle play.

All parts of Mochi Dino are knit in the round using double-pointed needles (DPNs) or circular needles (magic loop), then stuffed and sewn together. The facial features and nails are embroidered after assembly, adding character and a handmade touch to every Mochi Dino.

This pattern is perfect for knitters who enjoy a slow, mindful project and love creating timeless knit toys for gifting, decorating, or keeping close.
