Description
This dinosaur crochet kit holds the yarn, tools and pattern to make your own stitched stegosaurus, with a row of pointed plates along its back and round spots on its sides. The finished dinosaur measures about 16cm long, 9.5cm tall and 5cm wide, a cheerful size that sits comfortably in one hand. Inside the brown card pack are two balls of yarn, a turquoise one for the body and an orange one for the plates and spots, together with a crochet hook, a needle, two plastic eyes, two stitch markers and a bag of soft stuffing.
We recommend it for intermediate crocheters who already know their basic stitches and want a satisfying project to keep their hands busy and their skills sharp. The printed instruction sheet sets out the pattern in rounds, with a list of abbreviations such as magic ring, chain, single crochet and slip stitch, along with tips on keeping an even tension and changing colour neatly as you go. Once stitched and stuffed, the dinosaur looks at home on a bookshelf, a desk or a bedroom windowsill, bringing a friendly splash of colour to any corner of the house.
The instructions advise sticking with the included hook so the finished size comes out as intended, and note that your own tension may change it slightly. You will need a pair of scissors from your sewing box to trim the yarn ends, as these are not part of the kit. The two stitch markers help you keep track of where each round begins, and the plastic eyes give the finished face its bright, friendly look. When it is made, a gentle wipe with a damp cloth keeps the dinosaur looking fresh. Packed in its sturdy card bag with the dinosaur printed on the front, the kit makes a thoughtful present that is ready to give just as it comes.
