These adorable mini dinos are so fun and fast and easy to make. The free pattern is Mini Dino by MerryMakes. A member of my family gifted me this skein of bulky chenille yarn, so naturally I had to see how this pattern would work up in the bulky yarn using an 8mm hook. (There wasn't a label on the skein, so I don't know what brand or colorway this yarn is.)
For the eyes I used a pair of 20mm black buttons from this set I found on Amazon.
This mini dino is made by following the same pattern as the smaller dinos, same stitch and row counts. The only difference is the size of the yarn and hook, which produced a dinosaur about 12 inches tall.
