A little crochet dinosaur toy would be a cute gift anyone would love. The amigurumi dinosaur pattern is quick and easy to make using only basic crochet stitches. The head, neck and body are made as one piece and sewing is a breeze. The finished dinosaur is approximately 12 cm (4.7″) tall. The exact size of your toy will depend on what yarn and hook are used.
