I have a question about the pattern. Feet round 3,4,5 have a count of 24 stitches. Round 6 is to decrease by 10 and then have 10 left… but that doesn’t work. 24-10 is 14 stitches left. Please advise. Thank you.
Hi! I have a question on the tail. What are rounds 17, 19 and 21 supposed to be? Do you just continue doing single crochets to the same stitch count as the previous row? Thank you! 🙂
On round three of the tail is says “3rd and alt ends”. So yes, odd number rows are just sc around. I printed the pattern and write the numbers to cross off so I wouldn’t forget to do those.
Hi Sarah
I’m making the body of the dinosaur. Round 4 leaves us with 30 stitches. However your instructions on round 5 does not work it up to 40 stitches. I get 32??? Is this a misprint or am I missing something?
I think the “twice” is wrong both there and 6th and 8th round. Just do the (2sc in next st, 1sc in each of next 2 stitches) the whole way around and counts come out correctly.
Oh wow this is super adorable!
Round 25 of the head must also be written incorrectly. As written it wouldn’t decrease. I think it’s supposed to be sc2tog then 1sc in next st? There is no * or anything for a repeat but if you do the regular decrease type row, it gets you down to 20 stitches.
I made this pattern two years ago and it was a big hit with my great grandson and others who wanted me to crochet it for them. I never found any errors. This was my first attempt at making such a large animal. I found that stuffing it was easier to do as one crocheted along and as polyester tends to absorb air it is better to not stuff the object too much as it will get lumpy. Good luck !
Well, I was going to make this but with all the negative comments and unanswered questions I think I’ll skip it….
Hi,
One question in the body I didn’t understand when you say twice in round 5 as shown below but in round 3 it’s repeat like what is the difference because when I do it as round 3 which is repeat I get the same amount of stitches as needed:
3rd rnd: Ch 1. *2 sc in next st. 1 sc in next st. Rep from * around. Join. 30 sc.
5th rnd: Ch 1. (2 sc in next st. 1 sc in each of next 2 sts) twice. Join. 40 sts.
P.s love the pattern
Thank you

This pattern is great! I’ve made 3 and am working on a 4th!
One question, in the video, your Dino’s legs look longer than what I get following the pattern. Any tips?
