Meet Lady Violet! She’s a fun dinosaur and the works up to about 16” if you work it like me. She works up super quick - less than a day for me - with one of cake of yarn, plus one colorway. I used Bernat Pop for her, but any cake or solid color will do. I include my materials in the pattern. You will need at least two cakes, but for one of the cakes you only need one colorway.

So, if you are also making my Pea the Little Dino he takes only 1/2 a cake so you can try to buy two cakes to use for both patterns.

You can change the colors and make a guy dino too!

update: after a few requests I have included a “cheat sheet” to give detailed instructions on each increasing and decreasing round. Use the cheat sheet if you need to let you know the exact numbers/details on increasing/decreasing.

I also have made Pea the Little Dino available for Free in my Ravelry store so you can see how I write patterns before purchasing this one.

PLEASE READ

This pattern is for at least Intermediate to ADVANCED Amigurumi style crocheters. It is an abbreviated CHART pattern. I give you all the body parts in chart/number/round form so that your Dino will end up the same size with the same dimensions as Violet.

I do have lots of tips and tricks and show you where/what round I have everything placed.

If you have amigurumi knowledge and know how to work in the round - ex. 6,12,18,24 etc with increases and decreases you won’t have any trouble. This is probably not a beginner level pattern, although if you know how to work in the round maybe.
