Rawr! The little (and big) kiddies will love this mini dinosaur amigurumi. Straight out of a kawaii Jurassic Park, this tater tot has a toothy grin and a cute spikey spine down his back. Not only does his tail look adorable, but it also helps him to stand up straight. Play around with the colours and make a dino that suits your personality.

This crochet amigurumi pattern is perfect for beginners and neurodivergent crafters. The abbreviated instructions are followed by a breakdown in italics making it easier to understand what you need to do in each round. If you’ve had trouble reading patterns in the past, we hope that you’ll give our tater tot patterns a try!

One of the best things about these patterns is that they only use a tiny amount of yarn, so get out your scraps. Just remember that the hook size will depend on your yarn thickness and tension. So, experiment with what works best for you!

Using DK yarn and a 3mm hook, our Mini Dinosaur is approximately 6cm tall. The size will vary depending on yarn used and tension.
