About this pattern
Dash is a green dinosaur with a row of five amber spikes marching down his back and a sunny yellow belly. At 15 cm he has the most pieces in this set, with a separate head, tail, arms and feet. Take your time with the spikes, because they give him his character. A natural pick for a dino-loving child's birthday or a dinosaur party table.
It makes a sweet baby shower gift, a birthday surprise or a little shelf friend, and you are welcome to sell the toys you make from it.

Questions
Which yarn colors do I need for Dash?
You need 3 colors of worsted weight (4) yarn: about 70 g (125 yd / 115 m) of green for the body, head, tail, arms and feet, about 5 g (10 yd / 5 m) of butter for the belly and about 10 g (15 yd / 15 m) of gold for the spikes. You also need about 25 g of fiberfill and 2 safety eyes (10 mm).
How tall is Dash, and how many parts are there?
About 6 in (15 cm) tall. You crochet 7 parts (body, head, belly, 5 spikes, tail, 2 arms and 2 feet), 81 rounds in all, then follow 9 assembly steps to put Dash together.
Is Dash a good first amigurumi?
Yes, if you are happy with a slightly longer project. Dash uses only basic stitches (single crochet, increases and decreases in the round), but with 7 parts and 81 rounds it takes longer than our easiest toys. For a very first toy, a shorter one from our easy amigurumi patterns for beginners is quicker.
Which languages are included?
You get four PDFs: English, French, German and Spanish. The English version uses US crochet terms, and the stitch page lists the UK names too.
How do I get the pattern?
Right after checkout you get an email with your download links. You can download your PDFs again from that email any time.
