Tyrannosaurus Rex, Stegosaurus, Triceratops – we’re busy here at Let’s Knit HQ recapping our dino knowledge in time for the release of Jurassic World! Why not join us? We promise there will be yarn, knitting and crochet involved!
1. Terrifying Tyrannosaurus
Complete with fake teeth, this fake taxidermy head is sure to scare away unwelcome guests! (Pattern originally from Sincerely Louise on Etsy)
2. Tremendous Triceratops
Hone your amigurumi skills by making yourself a pair of friendly plant eaters to adorn your home. (Pattern originally available on LoveCrafts)
The real thing is said to have grown to 33 metres long, but don’t worry – these little guys are only a few centimetres tall. (Purchase the pattern over on Etsy)
4. Vibrant Velociraptor
Alive and roaming the Earth around 75 million years ago, this Velociraptor once made an outing in Let’s Knit magazine.
With a name meaning ‘plated lizard’, these reptiles had teeny-tiny brains the size of a walnut. (You can get this pattern for free from Just Crafty Enough, or pick up a copy of Knitted Dinosaurs by Tina Barrett for more fun projects)
Soar the skies with the help of this sweet and snuggly crochet friend! (Buy the pattern over on Etsy)
A peaceful herbivore with a now infamous club-like tail, this reptile grew to be 30 feet long! (Purchase this pattern from Planet June)
8. Perfect Plesiosaur and Amazing Apatosaurus
Two patterns in one! Quick and easy to knit, you’ll be on the road to making your own pair of dino friends in no time. (Pattern originally featured on Craftsy.)
