Free Pattern Friday: Little Dino Amigurumi

Hello, and welcome to Free Pattern Friday, where I every Friday I upload a pattern completely for free. This week's item is a 4" tall amigurumi of a little dinosaur. The PDF version of the pattern is available on Ravelry. If you have any questions, feel free to email me at icrochetthings@gmail.com.

This little guy was just some random thing I decided to make one day, nothing special. I think he's pretty cute. He looks a bit odd when you look at him head-on, but from the side he's adorable.

Also, I'm finally done updating all of the patterns to the new design (hallelujah). You can visit the pattern update page to see more information about that.

Materials:

▪  Worsted weight yarn in green, blue, white, black
▪  E hook (3.50 mm)
▪  Stuffing
▪  6 mm safety eyes
▪  Scissors
▪  Tapestry needle

Difficulty: Easy

You should know how to work in the round, increase, decrease, half double crochet, and change colors.
