Description
This is an intermediate project, recommended for knitters with experience working in the round. This knit dinosaur is worked in the round from head to tail. The legs are worked separately and sewn on at the end. It is stuffed as you go. I used two types of increase for this project, but you can use whichever increase(s) you prefer.

Measurments
The Brachiosaurus is about 18” (46cm) long and about 6” (15cm) high.

Materials

  • I used less then one skein of Loops & Thread Impeccable in green, but 200yds of any worsted weight yarn should be sufficient.
  • Stuffing. I used a polyester fiberfill, but you can use whatever stuffing you prefer.
  • Set of 4 US size 4, 3.5mm DPN or long size 4 circular needles for magic circle method.
  • Tapestry needle for weaving in ends and sewing on legs.
