Triceratops Amigurumi Workshop

Take your crochet skills to the next level with this cute dinosaur plushie. Don't worry if you've never created amigurumi before. As long as you have mastered basic crochet stitches, you can make this little sweetie for yourself or a friend. While reinforcing what you already know, we will focus on developing new skills: reading both narrative and graphic patterns, color combining, consistent tension, attractive joins, and more. The pattern calls for fingering weight yarn, which results in a dino about 5.5" tall and 11" long. However, the size of your plushie will be determined by the size of the yarn that you choose, so if you'd like to experiment with a different weight, this is your chance.
