This is a great project for a confident beginner. However, it is a repeat of row two, so it becomes an easy crochet pattern once you get going. I used the sober granny stitch.

I chose this crochet stitch because it clustered double crochet stitches, which helped mimic the look of dinosaur scales when paired with this yarn.
