Notes

BEWARE YE THE CURSE O THE FREE PATTERN!
I followed a previous maker’s advice and printed out the diagram for construction so I could cut it out and tape it together, only after frogging the same tier of squares several times. The written instructions past the 4th tier of blocks was unhelpful, and I ended up winging the rest of the construction like many others have done.

Thankfully this awesome Jurassic Park-themed yarn got me through, along with the thrill of getting dinosaur buttons as the ultimate cherry on top.
