Keep reading our free amigurumi pattern instruction to make a crochet dinosaur out of plush yarn. The completed size of the crocheted dinosaur is 22-24 cm. Our designer used Himalayan Dolphin Baby yarn and a 3.5-5mm crochet hook to make such a dinosaur. The texture of the plush dinosaur is very soft, so it will fit securely in your children’s hands. While entertaining them, you can get them to know dinosaurs at the same time.
