Brontosaurus Dinosaur - Free Amigurumi Pattern

An iconic, Jurassic staple! The brontosaurus is a dino famous for its long, graceful neck and herbivorous tendencies. The head, neck, and body are worked as one piece, so there's a little less sewing to do with this toy! The chubby body and short legs on this plushie are the cutest part, in my opinion. I decided to make mine in all blue, but you can use any colour you want!
