DESIGNING THE BACK

Take a cut of wine-red yarn and make a row of back-stitches 3-5 mm
each, starting approximately from the head center to the tail, making a
false row of stitches. Cut the yarn.

My dino faces right so I begin
crocheting from the head down so
that the front side is at the front.

Make a sc in the very first stitch,

next make 3 chain sts and one more
sc in the same stitch. Proceed in this
manner up to the end.

embroider the mouth and
eyebrow using a single strand of
mouline thread.

thread to embroider the stripes on
the belly, embellish the body with
French knots or beads.
