How many centimeters it is ?
It’s is so cute I have made so many of these for my friends thank you for making this patter, it’s adorable
Hi, I love this pattern, this is my second time making it, I think there is a mistake in Rnd 16.
Yeah i agree, do you know the solution, i can’t believe that i never noticed it
wait nvm im going blind ignore what i said
i love the mini dino i made! my friend asked me to make her a jumbo one for an upcoming birthday, but i’m not the most experienced crocheter, so does anyone know how i can upsize this pattern?
I hope someone gave you some tips before now. I just use 2 or 3 strings of yarn, or chunky yarn. Same pattern, larger results.
You can just use any yarn and hook bigger than a size four
To make your crochet plushie bigger just use a chunkier yarn and bigger hook for example I have used super bulky yarn and 5.5 mm crochet hook and it was bigger hope it helps
I made this and it is so cute. Love it.
