Ankylosaurus Dinosaur Free Amigurumi Pattern

This armoured dinosaur is known for the club on the end of its tail! The ankylosaurus is one of my favourite dinosaurs, they're just too cute! I'm a big fan of herbivorous dinosuars in general. They're like an armoured car with legs! These adorable dinos lived in western North America, too.

Attaching Parts

Start by sewing the back patch on, making sure the smaller end is over the head. I recommend pinning it in place while you sew so it doesn't shift around too much. The front end on the head part of the patch should be covering round 4 of the body.

Sew all four of the legs to the underside of the dinosaur. The front legs should be over rounds 11-12, and the back legs over rounds 16-17 approximately.

Sew the tail club to the very end of the tail, between rounds 27-28.
