[@snartbl4t]

just made three of these for some friends and i love them! I especially love the minimal sewing needed lol- just a tip for anyone starting it, make the legs and tail first, as well as cut a strand (like 4-5 inches) to sew the body closed later. If you only have one skein of the color you're using, this makes it so you don't need to tie off your body before it's done to make and attach the tail.

[@zackscrochet]

Yes definitely!! Or if you forget, just pull from the middle of the yarn or you can even sew the tail on and back shut once you’ve finished the entire rest of the dinosaur!

[@bobbiepoynter3848]

Finally! An adorable dinosaur. I roll my yarn into cakes so I can pull from the outside or inside of the cake without having to cut the yarn. Makes for easy transitions. Only critique, maybe speak a little slower. Sometimes I have to rewind several times to understand what you are saying.

[@hasbektashyan9136]

​@@zackscrochet😊😊

[@limealemur]

Yea I didn’t do that and had to make the tail from the other end of my skein. Ended up with a bit of spaghetti mess 😂

[@cows6363]

For those struggling to figure out how to make it look strait just adjust row 26 but keep the rest of the rows the same. Row 26: 5 sc, (sc, inc) x5, 10 sc (30)

Such a great idea!🥰

[@hoppy33]

Every amigurumi thing I maid I said this but I never did it lmao 😭😭

[@Kaprye]

This was the first pattern I worked from literally the ground up. I used acrylic yarn and a size 3.5 hook so way smaller but think it is actually the best I have made so far. So glad you includes the pattern written along with the video.

[@zackscrochet]

So glad you liked it !!

[@lexilup5641]

how small was your dino? i was thinking of using a 4mm hook and acrylic yarn!!

I just did a whale. That's the only thing I've ever made but it's so cute! Your comment gives me confidence to try 🦕 10 days til Vday. I want to give it to my teenage daughter in purple 🥰

I don't understand how in 22 minutes you explained how to do it so well, thank you!

This is such a brilliant tutorial, you made it very easy to understand and not over complicate things, as I’ve struggled with amigurumi in the past. Thank you for this amazing tutorial.

I just made this as a birthday gift for my partner and it came out so cute! The tutorial was pretty easy to follow along, especially since it wasn't a beginner pattern. Just in case anyone else was wondering about this, I did it with much smaller yarn and hook; 4 weight yarn and a 5.5 mm hook, and it came out to about 8 inches tall!

[@es4411]

I loved this tutorial, im a beginner and this dinosaur was the second amigurumi plush I have ever made. It was easy to follow, although I messed up quite a few times due to forgetting how many stitches id done and it took me 2 days but it still turned out almost identical to yours. Despite the slight imperfections in mine, I absolutely love it. I cant wait to try out more of your tutorials :D

[@zackscrochet]

Ahhh I’m so glad you loved it 🫶🫶 good luck with all your crocheting !!

[@rayanbalfour7791]

Good job!! How much yarn did you use? Is one skein enoughh and what type of yarnn😭

[@es4411]

@@rayanbalfour7791 I used the Cygnet Jelly Baby Chunky in the colour Mint, 100g and 120 meters. I also used a size 6mm hook I think, though 0.5mm either side of that should be fine. One skein was enough for me, you possibly could have had a go at making a second with the leftover, but I havent tried so I cant guarentee it. I would suggest using Bernat Blanket yarn instead though as it has a nicer feel and has a 'fuller' yarn if that makes any sense?.. I hope this was somewhat helpful, have fun and good luck with your crocheting :)

[@grannyvroomvroom2523]

I crochet a lot of items for babies and young children, this method of one piece, plus the tail, is much more practical and even safer for young children! Your videos are so pleasant to follow!

[@katelynwillet]

Made one for my husband today, took probably like 7 hrs total 😭 i'm a beginner and the yarn i had was so much thinner so I was WORKING trying to follow this while adjusting to the size i was working with, because i wanted it to be big. Thank you for the vid! ❤

[@Helena.00]

how do you adjust a pattern to be bigger?

[@bunnykaveh]

omg!!!!!! i’ve searched for AGES to find a free dinosaur pattern!!! some of us don’t have the money to pay for one pattern for 5 dollars 😭 i’ll be making this soon, thank you so much!!!

Been crocheting for 6 months but was too scared to start making amigurumi but I made a little keychain for my coworker and it really wasn't as hard as I thought, I just have a problem with making my tension too tight so decreasing was ridiculous. Keen to do more but I gotta find somewhere that sells bernat style yarn that isn't too expensive (live in Australia, shipping is real expensive and local stores don't have a lot of colours). Also cool to see another guy who crochets 👍 I might make this for my coworker who's having a kid later thus year, think it'd make a cool gift
