Tyrannosaurus Rex Dinosaur - Free Amigurumi Pattern

Another famous dinosaur, widely known for its cute little arms and oversized body. This cute dino stuffed animal captures that charm with its big head and body in contrast to the tiny hands. You can make yours in one colour like I did, or embroider stripes, spots, or other patterns if you'd like! Check out my other dinosaur patterns with my ankylosaurus here, and my stegosaurus here!

Attaching Parts

 

Start by sewing the body to the head. Make sure the side where you did the increases on the head is the nose, and the end where you did decreases is the back of the head. Sew the body toward the back of the head.

Next, sew the arms to the body. I sewed them between rounds 16-17 of the body. They should be slightly behind where the eyes are.

Sew the legs to the bottom of the body. I sewed mine between rounds 3-6.

Finally, sew the tail to the back of the toy, centred between the legs.
