It’s a great day to make a baby dinosaur amigurumi toy and you can make the dinosaur amigurumi toy that I will share today using eye-catching colors. We will crochet the dinosaur T-Rex amigurumi toy using a very nice shade of green and orange. The crocheted dinosaur toy has very large legs and arms compared to its body. The T-Rex’s claws are made using white yarn. It is recommended that you crochet the toy using cotton yarn.
Mini T-Rex Crochet Pattern Step by Step
It is recommended that you crochet the crocheted T-Rex in different pieces and then combine and sew it. We will make the toy using a 2.5mm crochet hook and it is also recommended that you use 9mm safety eyes for the eyes of the toy.
