The Ankylosaurus was an armored dinosaur about the size of a bus. It had large club-like plates on its tail and the top of its body was covered with plates and bony knobs.

This pattern works up such a cute ankylosaurus with little popcorn stitches on his back, 4 fun horns on his head, fierce tail plates … and an adorably endearing expression!

The pattern is written in US crochet terms for advanced beginner crocheters and beyond, mostly due to the terminology used. The advanced beginner is familiar with making amigurumi & understands basic amigurumi crochet terminology and stitches, as well as how to sew pieces together, finish off, hide ends, etc.

Finished doll measures about 12” long and 4” high.
