Hi! How do you sew the thorns onto the body if you’ve fastened them off?
Thank you for the cute pattern!!
Hi Eline 🙂 First of all, pin the horns to the places, and if everything is alright and you like the look, sew them on with tapestry needle.
I love this pattern I am making it now for my grandson for his christmas
as I look at the pictures I am wondering why your dino head comes out round and mine is a little odd shaped 🙂
Is there a hint of something I may be doing wrong (all stitch count is accurate)
again thank you for the free pattern

***Update to reply :)***
I think I found my problem …on the Amigurumi cat it is mentioned to ch 1 in the beginning 🙂 big difference
thanks so much again for the great pattern
Is it possible to make the body, add 1 more decrease round to make it stop with 12 stitches (instead of 16) and then start the head from the bottom up so it can be one whole piece? I am the worlds worst at attaching the head to the body. It always looks like the figure is shrugging their shoulders, lol. I just started Crocheting again after a 25 year break but am very new to the toy aspect of it. This is why I am asking about connecting the 2 parts since the may be a reason why you can’t connect the 2 to make it all 1 piece. This is such an adorable toy and I have a friend who just had twins who is a Game of Throwns fan, we call her “the Mother of Dragons” so this little guy is perfect. Thank you 🐲
Thanks love the pattern . I altered in a bit to make a teether/pram toy…. love it THANKS
