Brontosaurus Amigurumi
Easy
In this lesson we’ll be crocheting a Brontosaurus (also known as the Apatosaurus)! In the real world they could grow up to 75 ft long and weigh almost 50,000 pounds. We’ll be making one a little bit tinier and arguably cuter.

If you want to counter-balance the head a little, adding a row of sc between each decrease row makes the tail longer and helps balance the whole plushie
I love this pattern and all your others. I would love to see a Brachiosaurus pattern.
And by the way brontosaurus is not a real dinosaur.
Some scientists found a brachiosaurus body with a apatosaurus head and thought it was a new Dinosaur.
Technically I believe it’s back now? They found a species of brachiosaurus that is now brontosaurus or they changed it to a higher class that has apatosaurus and brachiosaurus under it? I was doing my research last year I may be out of date! They can’t keep it straight themselves. lol
Adorable little fella. I love your patterns
Is there a video for the spikes and longer legs?
The spikes and long legs special video isnt working
Great pattern! This one says hard, but for me it was easier than the t-rex.
Hey! I would love an updated legs video. Currently the link isn’t working. Thank you!!
Cute pattern, but the link to “See special video here for Spikes and Long Legs here.” is broken. 🙂
