Notes

Used bulky yarn that I hand-dyed myself for a larger dinosaur. I knit my dinosaur in the round, as I really don’t like seaming. The less seaming the better. Putting all the parts together and sewing them on was enough of that. Instructions not the best, but I was determined to make this project. I took my time. The end result is cute, but far from perfect.

Had 2 skeins of the pink I had dyed for another project which I decided not to use it for. Hoping that’s enough for the body, head, arms and legs.

Dyed 30g yellow for tummy. That should be enough.
Dyed 72g green for spines / spikes (or horms as the pattern calls them)

Used:
80g body
50g head
28g tail
25g leg 1
22g leg 2
7g arm 1
7g arm 2
16g tummy patch
32g “horms” or as I would call them spikes

A little short on yarn for the arms. I knit 12 rows in the pink and the rest in yellow on both arms, using up all my pink.

Using a different increase for the garter patch. I don’t know what it’s called. We’ll just call it garter increase. I think it looks nicer personally than what the pattern says to use. Plus it’s way easier to do.

Finished the knitting back in December. Didn’t finish assembly until now. Was a little short on pink for assembly, so used some Tosh DK in a similar color to attached parts and this worked fine.

She’s cute. Gracie loved it.
