Thanks so much to everyone who commented on my ring-tailed lemur<\/a>! It looks like there is demand for a pattern, so I’ll get started on that shortly. <\/p>\n

In the meantime, I thought it was time to try something a bit different, so I’ve been making… Dinosaurs! I think a lot of my patterns are more appealing to girls than to boys, and I wanted to redress the balance a bit here:<\/p>\n

These dinosaurs are: Brachiosaurus<\/strong> (green), Stegosaurus<\/strong> (blue\/grey), and Triceratops<\/strong> (orange). They are all herbivores – in fact, you might remember the brachiosaurus as the ‘veggiesaurus’ from Jurassic Park. They are nice and chunky so they would be good as toys to play with, and they are all between 9″ and 11″ long.<\/p>\n

I’ve tried to make each species as distinct as possible, without adding too much detail that would be difficult to crochet. These will definitely not<\/strong> be advanced patterns! I’m especially pleased with the head and neck of the brachiosaurus – it’s all crocheted in one piece! And the body and tail of each are worked in one piece too, which helps to reduce the amount of sewing required.<\/p>\n

I used Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice<\/em><\/a> yarn for the first time in these designs. I love the muted colours in the range, and it’s nice and heavy for a worsted weight yarn, so it makes a good firm fabric (great for amigurumi!)<\/p>\n

I’m hoping to have the dinosaur patterns up in the next few days. The lemur will take a bit longer. If you’d like to know when either are available, sign up for my mailing list<\/a> and you’ll be among the first to know \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

There’s potential for quite a few more designs in this range, but I’ll see how popular these initial three are before I design any more. What do you think of them?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
