Spinosaurus lived in what is now North Africa in the Late Cretaceous 99-93.5MYA. It was about 46 feet long (14 metres) and was a fish-eater but would also eat terrestrial prey.

The original specimen was dug up in Egypt in 1912 and described in 1915. Unfortunately this was destroyed in WW2, but additional material was discovered in Morocco in the early 21st century.

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.
