This delightful crochet pattern is perfect for anyone who loves dinosaurs – and bananas! – and wants to create their very own cuddly Stegosaurus banana! With step-by-step instructions and clear diagrams, this pattern is meant for advanced beginners that know the basics of crochet, and color changing techniques.

This pattern has been tested by fellow crocheters. I have tried to make the instructions as clear as possible to help you make your own cute Stega the Bananasaurus. It will require some basic background knowledge on crochet - the specific techniques and stitches are listed below. If you have any questions, I offer full follow up support and am happy to help!
