If you have ever been to a Disney Park, you know that the characters often dress up and have fun. Well, now it is time to dress up your Nuimos to match the costumes from the parks!

These costumes are modelled off the outfits that were worn by Chip and Dale during Donald’s Dino-BASH at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

The Purple Outfit, worn by Chip, is a Stegosaurus. The Green Outfit, worn by Dale, is a Triceratops. However, if you want to have other characters dress up as Dinos, feel free! I’d love to see all your friends in their new outfits!

The completed outfit will fit a standard 6’’ Nuimo, as made by the Walt Disney Company. It may fit another doll, but I have not tested that.

I have only tested the suits on Chip and Dale Nuimos - I have not tried them on any other characters.

Yarns Needed:
1 Skein Lime Green Yarn (Green Dino) size 4/worsted - I used loops and threads impeccable in Citron

1 Skein Dark Purple Yarn (Purple Dino) size 4/worsted - I used loops and threads impeccable in Eggplant

Approx 1/8 skein White Yarn size 3 (You want the white to be a size smaller than the other colours)

Approx 1/8 siein Light Blue Yarn size 4/worsted. -
I used Loops and Threads impeccable in Sea Green

Dark Blue yarn in size 4/worsted (minimal amount for green dino, approx 1/4 skein for Purple dino)

Other Required Materials:

  • Darning Needle to Sew Pieces Together
  • Small piece of Velcro (I used self-adhesive no-sew from Velcro Brand)
  • Chip and Dale Nuimo dolls (or Similar) - good to have when making the outfit to make sure it fits and you are not crocheting too tight!

Optional Materials:

  • Felt or Felting Yarn (or leftover scraps/pieces from crocheting) in lime green, dark blue and light blue to match above colours.
  • Felting Needles or Fabric Glue to attach decoratinos/details
