Krawka Dino the dinosaur puppet

DINO-PUPPET

( Since my son was born I intended to buy him a hand puppet, but in all puppets in shops something did
not suit me (I admit that often the price ...). So I decided to make my own puppet and it was a great
desicion. Already for the first time when I showed Dino to Alex (son then had a year and three months
than) he began to point out the tongue and open jaws just like a dinosaur, which brought a lot of fun for
the whole family. Since then dino was on vacation with us and even went on a trip to the dino-park in
Leba ... I hope that someone will make another puppet from the pattern below, and the world will gain
one more tongue-out-sticking baby.... :)

Sew the upper and lower jaw on the inner side.

Cut the inside of upper and lower mouth from a deep red material, than throat from black fabric.
Cutting the shape in paper first will allow you to see if it fits accurately or you can cut the corresponding
shape using my model from the photo below.

When finished, drag the thread through the center of needlework and tie a knot firmly with the initial
thread.

All inside parts of the mouth are ready, sew parts cut of the material first than tongue and teeth as in
the pictures below.
Body - continuation of the jaws

( Assign the dark-gray-blue yarn to sewn together jaws and do sc in the outer side of both jaws to form
a circle. Number of sc may vary depending on the jaws is my case it is 62 sc. Continue sc around until the
desired length of the puppet. Doing my dino I was thinking it should fit both my and my husband's hand
so I continued sc 26 rows. At the end FO.)

Cut the center of the eye from black material, and two white dots, one small and one larger. Then sew
them to white crocheted eye. At the end sew eye into the eyelid as shown in the picture.
I admit that the assumption was that it was the end of the work, but after sewing eye to almost finished
puppet, effect was not satisfactory enough for me. I decided therefore to make yet another part of the
eyelid just like the shown on the pictures below. If you think that such eyes suit you skip the next steps.
