Dinosaur Amigurumi Pattern

Here’s a wee Baby Dinosaur amigurumi pattern for all the dino fans out there. We go back to prehistoric times when dinosaurs ruled the earth during the Mesozoic Era! But here they are first as small and adorable babies before they get all mighty, big, and ferocious!

Amigurumi Dinosaur Crochet Pattern

I didn’t particularly model this Baby Crochet Dinosaur Amigurumi after any specific dinosaur but I would say it’s most similar to a baby T-Rex amigurumi since its features also include short and stubbby arms. And of course a big wide open mouth where all the sharp teeth can grow!

You can also crochet the dinosaurs with or without a belly patch. They look cute either way!

    Are the pieces just sewn on? The video just speeds through that section and that is the part I’m most confused about.

      Yes, the pieces are sewn on with a yarn needle. I’ll try to show the assembly a bit slower next time!

    Ami, I’ve just discovered your patterns and I LOVE them! The open mouth of the baby dinosaur caught my eye- he’s my first of your patterns. I made him for a newborn- he was ADORABLE, now all 4 of my grandchildren want one. I’ve been crocheting only about 3 months, your patterns are easy enough for even me! Thank you!

      Hi Vix, aww I’m glad the Dino worked well as a gift for your best friend’s baby. I feel like handmade gifts always feel so much more personal and special. And you are free to do as you wish with the amigurumis you make yourself. Just please make sure to use your own photos and best of luck to you!
