Rnd 6: sc 6, working in FLO, sc 1, [hdc 1, m.p, hdc 1] repeat 5 times, sc 1 (18 [+5 m.p])
Alternate Frill Option
Use the following Rnd to create an alternate version of the frill crown which is slightly larger and has a white edging. I’ve even made a second full length video for it which you can watch here!
*Note: dcinc = Double Crochet Increase (2dc in the same stitch)
Rnd 6*: sc 6, working in FLO, sc 1, hdc 1, dcinc 1, dc 1, dcinc 1, dc 2, dcinc 1, dc 1, dcinc 1, hdc 1, sc 1 (22)
Using a strand of white yarn begin going around the outer stitches of the frill towards the center. When you reach the center hide the end down through the center of the frill and into the body. Repeat this same process on the opposite side of the frill so that the white stitches are both pointing inward towards the center of the face.
Alternate Frill Photos
Rnd 7: sc 6, working in BLO from Rnd 5, sc 12 (18)
Rnd 8: sc 1, bo, sc 2, bo, sc 13 (18)
Add eyes and horns. Eyes go into Rnd 3 stitch number 6 and 11.
Horns are sewn on into the center (using the unused FLO from Rnd 1 as a guide), and just under the frill in Rnd 5 over stitches 10 and 14. See video at (08:18) for detailed instructions.
Rnd 9 - 11: sc in each st (18 x 3)

hey louie! it says that you need 3 fuzzy browns and one purple color at the top of the page

Its adorable!!!! Its so tiny and was quick to make! i love this pattern so much i’m going to make a whole pack of them!!
O inc é 2 pb no mesmo ponto de base,
então: (3+2) x 3 = 15
Veja se é isso
Am I the only one who find the math on this weird. If you sc 3, inc] repeat 3 times does this not = 12 (3+1)x3=12 and then the round 5 is 15. What am I missing here.
an increase is 2 stitches so it’s (3+2)x3=15
[sc 3, inc] repeat 3 times (15)
Take the sc 3 and multiply it by 3(this is the number of times you repeat. So 3 × 3 = 9. Next take the increase of 2 each stitch and multiply by the 3 from the number of times you repeat. So 2 × 3 = 6. Then take 9 + 6 = 15.
[sc 4, inc] repeat 3 times (18)
Same as the last one…take the sc 4 and multiply it by the number of repeats which is 3. So 4 × 3 = 12. Next take the increase of 2 and multiply it by the number of increases of 3. So 2 × 3 = 6. Take the 12 + 6 = 18. I hope this helps.
It’s because an increase is 2 stitches, not one. So the math would be (3+2)x3=15. Hope this helps
Sorry for pointing this out, but in round seven it says to work in blo from round five but aren’t you supposed too work in the blo from round six?
Good question. Round six is the frill on the dinosaur and in order for that to stick out of the top like it is supposed to, you need to work in the round below it; round five. Sorry if that didn’t clear things up I tried to explain it the best I could
Easy to follow and the video helps as well! I’m new to amigurumi so it’s fun to learn new thing like the bobble legs and the frill.
Guess what my boyfriend is getting for Valentines day?
