This chubby baby dinosaur pattern uses a variety of techniques and can be made in any yarn weight. Simply use a needle two sizes smaller than what your chosen yarn calls for to create a strong fabric that the stuffing won’t show through. It also doesn’t use very much yarn so get out the scraps!

The purchase of the pattern includes a password to four clear video tutorials on vimeo specifically helping you through the trickier techniques in this pattern.
