Leaellynasaura was a small (only about 3 feet long) Australian polar dinosaur with large eyes, which lived within the Antarctic Circle in the Early Cretaceous - about 118 - 110mya. It was discovered in Dinosaur Bay in Australia and named after the palaeontologist’s daughter – lucky girl!
The climate was much warmer then: there was no polar ice cap and the land was forested. Although the climate was fairly mild, there would have been long periods in the summer when the sun didn’t set and in the winter long periods when it didn’t rise.

You will need two skeins of yarn in contrasting colours.

The pattern is 47sts by 58 rows done in double knitting, and comes out at 10 inches square on 4mm needles.

You could use thicker yarn and larger needles for a larger square if you wish.
