Let’s start with the T-rex legs, then move on to the arms.
Legs: (make 2)
R1: 6sc in MR (or ch 2 and make 6sc in the second chain from the hook) (6)
R2: 6inc (12)
R3: (3sc, 3inc) x 2 (18)
R4: 18sc (18)
R5: 2sc, 4dec, 8sc (14)
R6: 1sc, 3dec, 3sc, dec, 2sc (10)
R7: 2dec, 6sc (8)
Start stuffing the leg.
R8-R9: 8sc (8) (2 rounds)
Slst in the next stitch and FO, there is no need to leave a long yarn tail. Stuff the leg tightly.
Arms: (make 2)
R1: 5sc in MR (or ch 2 and make 5sc in the second chain from the hook) (5)
R2: sc, (inc, sc) x 2 (7)

Ch1, fold the piece together and make 2sc through both sides. FO, there is no need to leave a long yarn tail. Don’t stuff the arms.
Now we’re moving on to the T-Rex’s fuselage. This part will take a while, but don’t worry. You can manage it by using the helpful images.
Body:
R1: 6sc in MR (or ch 2 and make 6sc in the second chain from the hook) (6)
R2: 6sc (6)

R10 R11: 15sc (15) (2 rounds)
R12: 3inc, 3sc, 6hdc, 3sc (18)
R13: 6slst, 3sc, 6hdc, 3sc (18)

R16: (2sc, inc) x 3, 5sc, 6hdc, sc (24)
R17: 3sc, 9slst, 5sc, 6hdc, sc (24)
We will now turn the piece 2 times and crochet in rows to make the belly of the t-rex a little bit higher:
After R17 turn the piece and make 1sc, 6hdc, 1sc.
Turn the piece again and make in the original direction 1sc, 6hdc, 1sc.
You should now be at the place where you ended after R17.
This is what your piece should look like now:
This is your piece after R17 when you turn it.
This is your piece after 1sc, 6 hdc, 1sc:
You now have a little bit space to the first stitch of the next round. To straighten it, make 2sc into this space (see picture below).
Your new R17 has now 26 stitches.
R18: 2sc, 11sist, 3sc, 2sc on the other side of the extra part (see picture on the right), 1sc, 6hdc, 3sc (28)
R19: 2sc, 11slst, 2sc, 4sc with first leg (fold the leg together and insert your hook through 2loops of each side. Make sure the leg points in the same direction you crochet), (2sc, inc) x2, 1sc, 2sc with second leg (leg should point in the same direction as the first leg) (30)
R20: 2sc with second leg, 13slst, 15sc (30)
Start stuffing the tail now.
If you want you can use beads or cherry pits in the lower part of the tail to make it a little easier for t-rex to balance later, he might fall over otherwise.

R25: (8sc, dec) x 3 (27)

Make sure the arms align with the legs, otherwise adjust the placement.
R33: (sc,dec)x6 (12)
R34: 12 sc (12)
FO and leave a long yarn tail for sewing.
Stuff the rest of the body tightly.

R14: 2sc, B03, 8sc, B03, 12sc (24)
The BO3 should be on the edges of the head (see picture on the right) if not adjust the placement!
R15: 24sc (24)
Insert the eyes right beneath the BO3 on R14. The BO3 should act as eyebrows.
R16: (2sc, dec) x 6 (18)
Start stuffing the head.
R17: (sc, dec) x 6 (12)
R18: 6dec (6)
FO and leave a long yarn tail for closing.
Suff the head tightly.
Sew the hole closed.
Sew the head to the body, use the rear half of the head where the red circle is on the picture. Stuff the neck before closing completely.
Mouth:
With black cotton yarn embroider a straight line from one side of the head to the other slightly under the middle. I embroidered the mouth till R7 on both sides. Out of white sponge rubber cut little triangles for the teeth. Start in the middle of the mouth and glue 2 teeth on. Then going to the left and right glue the rest of the teeth on until you reach the end of your embroidered mouth. I used 12 teeth totally.
If your t-rex tends to slip away when he stands, sew the legs to the body a little bit on the inside of the legs.
