Do you have approx sizes for how big this turns out? It looks great!
sorry I keep neglecting to write that. Using DK yarn and and 3mm hook, he is about 17cm from head to tip of tail and 10cm high from feet to tallest spike. I hope this helps :)
hi
thank u for the great pattern
i have a question when do u place the Safety eyes?
Between approx. R 8-9 and 6-8 stitches apart.
spanish please pattern
Thank you for this easy to follow pattern for my first amigurumi project! One note: on round 33 there are an extra 3 sc at the end. This would go into the next round since there are only 36 stitches in the round before and no increase indicated.
I am relatively new to crocheting but I'm struggling with how to crochet the legs into the body as I go. I either end up with them facing the wrong way or inside out. Do you have any extra instructions or clearer pictures? I didn't find the elephant ones helpful for figuring it out. Sorry it's probably my inexperience.
Very cute pattern, but hard to follow at times. Beware that Rounds 32 and 33 appear to be wrong. Both rounds should start with 24sc (into the body) and end with 3sc (into the body) with the back legs attached in between. As written, the back legs will be off center and Rnd 33 would have 39 sts which it does not.
I have finished the body and will start on the spikes soon. I learned popcorn stitch! In missed your instructions and made them with 5 dc, and they are comical. Thank you so much for this fabulous pattern. Row 39 should be x 2, I think .
Would you have a pattern or video for a triceratops please
