---- About the Pattern ----
The Rainbow Stegosaurus pattern is a completely no-sew amigurumi dinosaur that works up quickly! This fast and easy project includes two sizes: the original (a bigger 10” plush) and the baby (a smaller 6” pocket size). You can make a Mother and Child duo using this 2-in-1 pattern. This cute steggy stuffed animal is able to stand up on its own, making it a great desk buddy and home decor, office decor, or nursery decor. It is highly customizable with different yarn color combinations, so you can crochet it in the colors of a rainbow, sports team, school team, pride, and more. Since it’s a fast project, it’s suitable as last-minute gifts and stocking stuffers, or for craft fairs and markets. The PDF pattern includes progress photos as part of a photo tutorial to help guide you through the doll-making process.
