Dinosaur Crochet Patterns

Hey there!

Come with me, far back in time, to the era of dinos, to a Land Before Twine! 🦖

In this series of amigurumi crochet patterns designed to go with our board game, Lava Run, we’re taking it all the way back to the Jurassic and crocheting a heard of mini dinosaurs and a volcano bag to put them in!

If you’re new to crocheting, check out Crocheting 101: How to Crochet for Complete Beginners or start with the beginner-friendly Triceratops project. The dinosaur projects have varying difficulty levels so you can improve your skills as you go; be sure to check the difficulty level before starting and use the video tutorials for help.

Thank you for supporting Lava Run and Club Crochet®!

Happy hookin!

Bonus Projects

Here are some additional dinosaur patterns might enjoy. Unfortunately these dinosaurs will likely crochet too large for the classic Lava Run board, but are fun to make non-the-less!

These are collaboration patterns with other designers, or live during a crochet along (see next section for more info)!
