------------------------------------------------------- EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN: ------------------------------------------------------- CROCHET TIP (chain stitch): 1 chain stitch should equal 1 double crochet in width. Make sure the chain-stitch loop is pushed up the hook so it is not tight. If the chain stitches are tight, the piece will also be tight in sections where there are a lot of chain stitches. WORK 2 double crochets TOGETHER: Insert the hook through the first stitch and pick up the strand, insert the hook in the next stitch and pick up the strand (= 3 loops), make 1 yarn over and pull it through all 3 loops (= 1 stitch decreased). LOOP STITCH: Sew with a single strand and black. The eye is embroidered over rows 1 and 2 of the face with 5 stitches between each eye. See diagram which shows how to work loop stitch. ------------------------------------------------------- START THE PIECE HERE: ------------------------------------------------------- DINOSAUR – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE: The whole piece is worked with 2 strands, from nose to tail and with 1 seam under the body. 4 legs are worked separately, then the head is worked, continued to the neck and body at the same time as the front and back legs are attached.

Hi, I have tried this neck part like 8 times and still not getting it right. This pattern really needs pictures to follow. As much as I’ve tried to make sense from the kid holding the dino, I still can’t make sense of first, where to do 8 extra rows, then the next part saying do all these other rows ending up with 26. I’ve been crocheting for a good while and this pattern has me so lost!! About to frog the lot for good. About to pull my hair out!

Dear Chrissi, for the head you worked 8 rows back and forth, to work the neck you will now work along the both sides of these 8 rows, ie 16 rows in total., increasing as stated under row 1 to get 22 sts, then increase 2 sts on every other row until you have worked 6 rows and you get 26 sts. Happy crocheting!

Is it ok if I sell the finished product of this pattern? I recently made one for my son's 2nd birthday and he absolutely adores it. But even moreso, I loved making it. It was one of the quickest, easiest patterns I've ever followed and I love the fact that I don't have to stitch pieces together at the end of it. I'd love to make more, and thought it might be a good way to earn a little side money, as long as that's approved by the author of the pattern.

Kan iemand mij svp helpen met het patroon vanaf de nek. Ik heb van alles geprobeerd maar kom er niet uit! Vr groet, Nel

Dag Nel,
Kan je aangeven waar je precies tegenaan loopt bij het haken van de nek? Op welk punt loop je vast? Wellicht kunnen we je dan beter helpen...

I have only been crocheting for a month. I found this pattern fairly easy to follow.. there are times I had to re-read something to figure it out… but trust the process .. it all comes together!!

"BODY: Now the 2 front legs are attached to the body." Uhh? No. No they are not. At no point yet has it said to attach them and we've worked the nose, face, and neck, but not the body yet so where do they even go?? Whoever said this was the easiest pattern was the biggest liar after Trump.
11.09.2023 - 23:08DROPS Design answered:
Dear Lisamarie, with this sentence we mean that the front legs will be now attached on to the body while crocheting the ROW 1, you will crochet around the body and crochet at the same time the front legs working into the 3 layers (2 layers from the front leg folded double + the stitch on the next row on body). Hope it can help. Happy crocheting!

I dont understand how im supposed to do the neck. am i still going around the circle or am i only going across so many stitches? am i supposed o be going down the neck in the rows ive done before instead of the circle like i have been? if i do how do i continue working in a circle if im going down the rows instead of around in the stiches. am i not working in the stiches around anymore? the neck is really confusing me
17.08.2023 - 16:37DROPS Design answered:
Dear Courtney, you worked 8 rows for the head, you will now work the first row of neck crocheting in both ends of head, ie in the beg/end of the 8 rows of the head (on both sides = 16 rows). Neck is then worked back and forth (you turn at the end of each row) increasing on every other row. Happy crocheting!

Hej Annette, du hækler luftmasken for at komme op i højde. I denne opskrift erstatter luftmasken ikke fastmasken

Hei Annette. Nei, det menes fastmaske, slik det står. Under FORBEIN hekler man 2 luftmasker, deretter hekler man 5 fastmasker i den første luftmasken og for å avslutte sirkelen hekler man en kjedemaske i den første fastmasken (av de 5 fastmaskene). mvh DROPS Design
