* Approx 35 yards of Medium / Category4 / Worsted Weight /Aran /10 ply yarn in a
contrasting colour (Pink) for the mouth and tongue.

* Polyfil (polyester / fiberfill) stuffing;


* 2 x 8 mm (or larger) glass beads for the eyes or 1 pair of 10mm or larger safety eyes
* 12 gauge (2.00 mm) wire – 12 ft (145 inches)

* Strong 12 gauge wire for the frame – I use 2 mm plastic covered gardening wire, but the
strength is more important than the thickness. You may find brown paper covered craft wire in
your local craft store or online. You can add strength to wire by wrapping it in duct or
electrical tape. Using tape also means you can easily tape folded over wire ends to make
sure they don’t poke through your work. If you find working with long lengths of wire too
difficult, or you can’t find rolls of wire near you, you can work with shorter pieces and add
more with tape as you go along, just make sure that you overlap the wire by several inches
where you connect it so that it stays in place and retains its strength.
NOTE : It is not advisable to use wire or weights if the T-Rex is intended as for a child.
You can omit the wire completely and just stuff firmly as you work, but the T-Rex may not
stand on its own without wire.

* (Optional) Pliers to help bend wire.

* Stitch markers – optional – I use thin yarn of contrasting color (attaching it at the last stitch
of each round )
ABBREVIATIONS

Rnd(s) = round(s) Sl = slip stitch Dc = double crochet stitch


Mc = magic circle Sc = single crochet stitch Inc = single crochet increase
Ch = chain stitch St. Sc = standing single crochet Hdc Inc = half double crochet
stitch increase
St(s) = stitch(es) Hdc = half double crochet stitch Dec = single crochet decrease

PATTERN NOTATIONS

Work in a spiral unless otherwise indicated.

Pattern is written in US Crochet terms.

A T-Rex made using this pattern with a 3.75mm (F) hook and Medium yarn ( Category 4)
will measure approximately 14 inches/ 36 cm tall and 27 inches/ 70 cm long

Inc - single crochet increase. Make two single crochet stitches into one stitch.
All Inc stitches are single crochet unless otherwise stated in the pattern.
Hdc Inc - Make two half double crochet stitches into the same stitch.

Dec - single crochet decrease. I prefer the look of the invisible crochet decrease (worked into
just the front loops of the two stitches being joined) but the pattern will not be affected if you
prefer to use a standard decrease stitch. When it appears without a number, Dec stands for
one stitch decrease; a number after this symbol indicates how many times decrease is to be
made; e.g. Dec x 3 means make 3 decrease stitches in a row.

Standing Single Crochet (St.Sc) – used to neatly reattach yarn at a new starting point. With
a slip knot already on your hook, insert hook into indicated stitch, yarn over and pull up a loop,
yarn over and pull through 2 loops. This creates a stitch with the same top shape as an
ordinary Sc that can easily be worked into in the next round. Tuck the yarn tail inside your
work. A St.Sc counts as 1 Sc for your stitch count.

Stitch Count – The number given in round brackets ( ) at the end of each round.

Shifting the end/beginning of rounds. In several rounds one or more stitches are added
after completing those rounds, but there is no increase in the number of stitches, this is done
to shift the starting point forward before the next round begins.

Examples notations:

Sc5 means make one single crochet stitch into each of the next 5 stitches
{Sc3, Inc} x 2 (10) means make 3 single crochet stitches followed by one increase twice in a
row (i.e. Sc, Sc, Sc, Inc, Sc, Sc, Sc, Inc). The total number of stitches at the end of the row is
10
Inc x 6 means make an increase (i.e 2 Sc stitches) into each of the next 6 stitches, meaning
you would make 12 Sc in total.

Crochet Pattern
Important: please note that some rounds have both increases and decreases – this is
not a mistake!

Add the wire to the feet at this point. Cut 2 sections of wire 26-27 inches (68-70 cm) each.
Bend wire to fit the toes but shorter than the toes. Or you can make a circle large enough to
fill the base of the foot and do not wire the toes. But I do feel that the T-Rex will stand better
with the toes wired.

Sneak peek:
This is how a finished leg will look, if you
start with 26-27 inches of wire.

You will add more wire later; then the wire


from one leg will eventually go up towards
the head and the wire from the second leg
will go down to the tip of the tail, making
both posable. When adding more wire,
make sure to overlap the join by several
inches and hold in place securely with tape
so it doesn’t come loose.

Stuff the leg gradually, but do not stuff the


toes (or stuff them very lightly): later you will
add glass gems and more stuffing before
sewing them shut.

The 3 chain stitches shape a rudimentary toe


in the next round: in Rnd 13 you can either
work Sc into each of the 3 chain stitches
individually or just work into the chain space.
It will work either way, but remember to do the
same on both legs!

On the left – first three stitches made on the Right Leg only. Continue to work around the leg
only; when you come to the stitch with yarn end, align the yarn with the leg’s edge and
crochet next stitch over this thread:

After making 21 Sc around the leg, skip 11 Sts


of the body and crochet Sc stitch in the next
body stitch (the red arrow points at this stitch):

Rnd 12 Inc, Sc12, Inc, Sc39, Inc, Sc38 (95)

In round 12 you will work around the


outer edge of the body and legs.
You can add wire at this point – add
27 inches of wire to each leg (make
sure the wires overlap by 3-4 inches
and tape them together with electrical
tape).

Bend the wires as shown: the wire from
one leg goes toward the neck and head;
the wire from the other leg goes to the tail.
You will need to attach another piece of
wire later (to the wire that points toward the
tail, the black arrows show where to attach
another piece of wire), when the back is
almost finished.

Connect open stitches between belly and legs. Align the open stitches
and crochet 13 Sc stitches through both belly and leg: there are 11 pairs
of stitches, but we are adding 1 st on each side, to avoid holes near the
first and last stitch: start with the pair of stitches to the right of the first
open stitch (the green arrows point at that pair) and finish with the pair to
the left of the last open pair:

Rnd 30 {Sc1, Dec} x 6 (12)

Rnd 31 Dec x 6, fasten off (6)

Add some stuffing; you will continue to stuff later, when some of the tail and the neck
are made, otherwise it would be difficult to stuff the piece with 2 openings on opposite
ends

Fold the work to form the jaw’s edge – along the increases and decreases.
Cut 2 sections of wire 14 inches (35 cm) each, insert one wire into the upper part of the head,
along the fold (edge of the jaw), push the wire close to the fold all around, and secure in place
by making a row of simple stitches, close to the edges, with body color thread, as shown
below.
Note that there are no folds or ridges on the inside of the piece.

Eyes
Make 2 round pads : Mc, Sc6, cut yarn leaving long end for sewing.
Sew glass bead/eye in the middle of the crocheted disk.
Pinch and create an eye socket space under the brow line (see photos). Sew on the circle if
you are using a glass bead or insert safety eyes

If you are using safety eyes, insert through the outer layer of the upper head only.

Safety eyes of any size between 8–20mm work well, depending on the type of expression you
wish to create.

If you wish, you can add additional defined shape to your finished head by using a needle and
body color yarn to soft sculpt the head by creating nostrils or ridges along the brow.

Cut yarn leaving long end, stuff the tongue just a little, fold flat at the last round and sew the
edges together. Sew the tongue to the middle of the round part of the mouth.
On the left – this is the shape of the mouth before it is sewn into the head; bring all yarn ends
to the outside, as shown. To sew the tongue, turn the mouth inside out, as show on the right:

And turn the mouth back to look like in the photo above,
left.

Teeth

Cut 2 strips of felt, 8 inches (20 cm) by 2


inches (5 cm) each.
Fold in half and glue each strip
lengthwise and let dry.

For each strip, mark the middle and cut


out triangular pieces on the fold side,
starting from the middle, first smaller, then
making teeth bigger, leaving 1-2 mm of
felt for the teeth points (so the 2 layers of
felt do not separate).

Trim the non-spiky edge , making the
strips narrower in the middle and at the
ends, as shown in pictures below.

Pin the teeth inside the jaws and sew along the edges with simple stitches.

Insert the mouth into the head, align and pin and then sew in place with simple stitches along
the edges of the jaws.

And now, for the final step – return to the feet: add more stuffing to the legs if needed, through
the open toes. To stuff the toes, first put glass gems into toes and then stuffing to cover the
gems.

Connect open stitches on the feet – you can do it with crochet hook as shown or carpet
needle. Tuck the yarn ends into the feet.
