Dear Friend, Thank you very much for appreciating and supporting the efforts of an independent crochet designer. It is my mission to bring you exciting, fun, top-quality designs with detailed instructions to help you get maximum enjoyment from your crochet hobby. Now, on a more serious note. This is an original crochet pattern, joyfully created by me—an independent, self-employed crochet designer. This pattern holds a registered United States copyright with world rights retained. Please do not copy, scan, share, email, post, or otherwise distribute this pattern in any manner. To do so is equivalent to stealing from me. It is a federal offense, and an international crime. Internet pattern sharing has put many designers out of business and this makes me incredibly sad. Every designer | know feels the same sadness and betrayal when this happens. I'm appealing to you, as purchaser of this pattern, to support the efforts of independent crochet designers by NOT sharing, emailing, posting or otherwise distributing my patterns. Refraining from doing so is the first step in breaking the chain of unlawful distribution. Why is sharing such a problem? I'll explain. Say you copy and email this patter to your three closest crochet friends. The next day they each email it to three of their crochet friends. The next day those people do the same. At the end of a week, the pattern will have been emailed to over 3,000 people. And that is not even considering that somewhere in there, there is bound to be at least a handful of crocheters who send the pattern out to dozens of people at once. Thanks very much for reading this all the way to the end@And thanks again for purchasing this pattern. Best wishes and happy crocheting!

After round two is completed, pull on yarn tail of round one to close opening; thread tapestry needle with yarn tail and weave in end securely so hole will not reopen; then continue crocheting. Most body parts are made by working in rounds without joining. To make this easier, use a scrap of yarn between the last stitch of one row and first stitch of the next row. Flip the end of the scrap yarn to the front on one row, then to the back on the next row and so on, weaving scrap yarn through work as you stitch. When counting rows, count just to the right of the scrap yam. Changing colors To change colors, in last sc before color change, do not complete sc. Do not pull yarn through last 2 Ips on hook; pull new color through last 2 Ips on hook. Make next sc with new color. 2 Amigurumi Dinosaurs - Sewing parts together Leave tails for sewing body parts together when fastening off. Thread tapestry needle with yarn tail, and sew pieces together as neatly as possible, adding extra stuffing if needed right before closing seam. For the most attractive amigurumi, position body parts so that color changes are at center back of body. Safety for children Buttons and small parts can be a hazard to small children. To be safe, all items intended for use as toys should have embroidered eyes, not button eyes. To embroider eyes, make French knots or straight stitches using yarn or embroidery floss. Basic materials Worsted weight yarn in colors specified in each pattern, or colors of choice F (3.75 mm) or G (4 mm) crochet hook Half-ball shank buttons or other eyes as desired Tapestry needle Sewing needle and thread for attaching eyes Polyester fiberfill Gauge All amigurumi in this pattern are made with size F or G hook and worsted- weight yarn. Gauge is roughly 4 sc and 4 sts per inch. Exact gauge is not important; however, work should be close enough that stuffing should not show through stitches.
