This stegosaurus actually evolved from the dumpling pattern I wrote a long time ago. I wonder what the stegosaurus would think about that, evolving from a dumpling…

Anyway, here he is sitting on my hand for scale. Probably makes a nice pin/brooch or magnet!

This pattern is super easy and takes very little time and yarn. To make your own tiny stegosaurus, you’ll need:

A bit of worsted weight yarn for main colour for body, and contrasting colour for spikes

3.5 mm and 3 mm crochet hooks (if you only have either size, that’s fine too)

Tapestry needle (very important! You’ll see in the pictures)

Black seed beads

Black thread and sewing needle
