This Dino is a perfect gift for your loved ones (or for yourself ). I made this one for my younger sister before moving away, and she loves it so much! It’s 14 ½ inches tall and about 9 inches wide, making it big enough to hug, and it uses super bulky yarn so it works up fairly quickly.

Materials:

• Bernat blanket yarn or any super bulky weight yarn (1 skein)
• 5.00 mm Crochet hook
• Large tapestry needle and scissors
• polyester fiberfill stuffing (about 20 oz, adjust as desired)
• 2 buttons (for eyes, about 1-1.5” in diameter)
• Sewing thread the same color as buttons
• Sewing needle

The gauge is not important for this pattern, as long as you keep enough tension to prevent big gaps between stitches (so the stuffing does not fall out).
