What you need to know

Part Three of Nicola Valiji's dinosaur play bag knitting pattern brings three more knitted dinosaur toys. Here, you'll find easy knitting patterns for T-Rex, Stegosaurus and Pterodactyl. They’re all made with simple stitches, but there is quite a bit of shaping so make sure you count your stitches carefully after each row. Add details with embroidered chain stitch or knitted embellishments.

How to: decrease purl stitches (p2tog)

03:44

To decrease purl stitches, you may see pattern p2tog as an abbreviation meaning to purl two stitches together. This creates a right-leaning decrease on the front of stocking stitch fabric.
