Introducing Gary the Alligator Mini Plushie w/ Spinosaurus Dinosaur Mods Pattern from Homebound & Hooked. This pattern includes a 10-page PDF file with detailed instructions and pictures explaining how to crochet an alligator. It provides instructions on how to work up the head, body, tail and legs. The bonus spinal fin modification is included in this pattern to help convert your gator into a Spinosaurus! The long gator-like snout in this pattern leaves it open for the possibilities of other dinosaur species such as a Baryonyx, Suchmimos and more. Experiment with different eye styles/yarn colors and let your imagination run wild!

This is a beginner level pattern with the assumption that you are already familiar with all of the crochet terms listed in the ‘abbreviations’ section. It has also been designed with the assumption that you have prior experience making amigurumi products. Some parts of this pattern may be geared more toward advanced beginners, for example, the color change options and the spinal fin part. However, these are all optional parts and can be skipped if the maker finds them challenging. With that being said, I am more than happy to answer and assist with any questions!

Upon using #6 weight Bernat Blanket yarn and a 8.00 mm hook, your creation will be the approximate sizes:
Length = 8”
Width = 6”
Depth = 6”
