Here’s a stab at modelling Diplodocus from the Jurassic period. This model includes the authentic features of the whip-like tail and the single claw on each front feet. With the tail uncurled, this is about 20 inches long. Compared to the Brontosaurus also published here, this dinosaur is a lighter build (relatively, anyway! 8-D ) and a more delicate animal… if any dinosaur could be….

You will need:

• Body colour – one 100g ball DK yarn
• Claw DK yarn - couple of yards/ metres
• Pink mouth and tongue colour – few yards/metres of DK yarn
• Stuffing material
