GIANT Chubby Dino TUTORIAL | Crochet Amigurumi Tutorial | Crochet Plushie Pattern | Step by Step

[@reigningcharmz]

Hi friends! I've made a small error. R9 of the tail should end in 46 as the final stitch count, not 47. Sorry about that!

[@Jade-ms6oy]

Does final stitch count mean that’s how many stitches you just did or how many stitches is in the entire project. Also how do I know when to increase and decrease. Like is it every one? Every other? Every 4? Sorry I’m a beginner 😂

[@reigningcharmz]

@@Jade-ms6oy no worries! So final stitch count is the final count at the end of that row. And if anything is in parenthesis followed by a number, then you repeat that that many times. For example: (sc, inc) x 6 means you do one single crochet in one stitch, then increase in the next and repeat that pattern 6 times. Same goes for decrease. There should be a number letting you know how many to do, and if not specified, then it’s done till the end of the round. You can also check out this video on how to read patterns! That might help☺️ kzbin.info/www/bejne/houbpoloYr9gh8ksi=cLWAlPvKZ6GL9k7f

[@dokidokigatchaclub1647]

I made this today... ALL IN ONE SITTING and after 7 hours of work i must say this is one of the best patterns ive come across, its simple, fun to work on, and not even a tiny bit frustrating. All of the instructions were clear as day and i had a blast makimg mine, which i promptly named jumbo, hes a red dino with black spikes! (Also, i had literally exactly enough red yarn, if i needed 20 more stiches of red i wouldntve had enough, so, cool experience)

[@Davis_123]

aww thats so sweet

[@brookiez1019]

I’m almost done making this and I ripped out a whole row, thinking I had it wrong on R9 of the tail. But I believe there is a typo. You have “(SC, Inc) x 15, SC (47)” but no matter how many time I counted there were only 46 stitches for me. AND then I counted the pattern of R9 which only adds up to 46, however you have 47. Thought I’d let you know in case you wanted to pin a comment or add it to the description as I couldn’t find anything about it in the comments or description to confirm my suspicion. Thank you for the wonderful tutorial though, it’s very good! 😊

[@brookiez1019]

I believe there is a typo in R5 of the spike as well. R4 ends with 12 stitches but then R5 you have “(SC, Inc) x 6, SC (18)” but that would be 19 stitches, so I think the SC at the end is not suppose to be there. Please let me know if I’m just wrong and making a fool of myself, I’m still a beginner! 😅

[@reigningcharmz]

Oh goodness! It’s entirely possible it’s a typo! Thank you for letting me know. I’ll be sure to correct it☺️

[@Smile_4ever]

Helloo I have a question... If I use a hook 15mm instead of 10mm with the same yarn as you, will it make any difference? LOVE UR JOB 💖 (Pls reply to me quickly if u can 💜)

[@reigningcharmz]

If you’re using the same size yarn I’m using in my pattern, then using a 15mm hook may cause gaps to show up. It’s best to pair the 15mm hook with a thicker yarn if you want to use it ☺️

[@JMZL2573]

Hi there.. Could somebody please help me. My stitch marker fell out during the repeat rows ( Rows 28-34). Is there anyway of finding the begining of the row so that my work doesn't come out crooked. Maybe you could tell me how many stitches should be on either side so that I could find the first stitch.

[@reigningcharmz]

@@JMZL2573 hello! I would try to find R27, and I would try to find the place in that round where you did the 6 sc, inc, 6sc, inc. then I would count 14 stitches past that (which would conclude R27. After that, you would know where R27 ended, and you should be able to estimate the beginning of each round after that. Hopefully this makes sense and helps!

[@JMZL2573]

Thank you very much for you response. It helps a lot.

[@theresnospecificwaytosaykyl]

Okay so I was like on r19 and I had to frog the whole thing because the top of the head was pointy. But also, you have a 10mm hook, I have a 9mm hook and mine looks way bigger, I got the exact same yarn too. I’m using a 5.5mm but it’s smaller than yours, and fits the yarn perfectly, will that affect the size? Or should I get a different hook?

[@reigningcharmz]

@@theresnospecificwaytosaykyl the size difference might occur if your tension is more loose than mine. I think I crochet with a tighter tension which I need to work on hahaha If you want a Dino that’s going to be big and jumbo, you’ll want to use a weight 6-7 bulky yarn, with a 9-10mm hook. Usually you go two sizes down on hook size from the recommended hook size on the yarn. Hope this helps!

[@theresnospecificwaytosaykyl]

@@reigningcharmz thank you! I got the exact same yarn you used in the video, but I don’t have a 10mm hook like you, i have a 9mm but it’s seems really big, bigger than your 10mm, should I still try it?

[@ayanadixon4763]

I saw a tip in a short that said to see how many stitches are in round 2, and put that many stitches in a magic ring to start the project. Then follow the rest of the pattern. Skipping round 1 eliminates the point. Hope that helps.

[@KarleeDokmonovich]

I'm genuinely so confused. I'm following the pattern correctly but everytime I'm done 'with a roW i end up with too many stiches before my stich marker!

[@SoundBlendRead]

It could be because you are putting too many stiches in each stitch.

[@Kaeechi]

Do u think this pattern will work with only 200 yard worth of yarn? I have bigger hooks so bayme that will help? Lmk❤

[@reigningcharmz]

I think you may need a bit more for the body! You could always try and see☺️

[@urgurl_bay]

If I used the same kind of yarn with a 11.5 mm hook would it be bigger

[@daisymercerhembury3554]

it would be bigger but the stitches might also be bigger so you might be able to see through the stitches and they wont be as tight
