Rex Dino Lovey is a soft, flat-body amigurumi dinosaur made with plush chenille yarn for a cozy, huggable texture.
The head and body are joined together with minimal sewing, while the colorful back spikes make each dinosaur unique.
Only the head and paws are stuffed — the rest remains flat, giving it the classic “lovey” shape that’s perfect for small hands.

Size:
Approx. 36 cm (14 in) from toes to head or 45 cm (17.7 in) including tail.
Size may vary slightly depending on yarn, hook, and tension.

Gauge:
Approx. 8 repeats × 8 rounds = 10 cm (4 in) in single crochet with a 5 mm hook and super bulky chenille yarn.
Gauge is not critical but keep stitches tight so the stuffing doesn’t show.

Yarn Requirements:

Mint Green (main body, head, tail): ≈ 75 m / 60 g

Teal Green (paws, base spikes): ≈ 25 m / 20 g

Coral Red, Orange, Yellow (back spikes): ≈ 6 m each / 5 g
Total: ≈ 100 – 120 m

Super bulky plush chenille yarn (e.g. Wolans Bunny Baby, Himalaya Dolphin Baby, YarnArt Dolce, Premier Parfait Chunky), 5 mm hook, polyester stuffing, 14 mm safety eyes, black embroidery thread, yarn needle, scissors, stitch marker, optional hot glue.
