Ankylosaurus Bruno Amigurumi with Popcorn Bucket

Meet Bruno, a chubby little crochet ankylosaurus with spikes on his back and a massive club tail. He is serious as a samurai but very cute, like a turtle, and he loves to go to the cinema, so the pattern includes a bonus popcorn bucket. Bruno is worked in sport-weight yarn with a tiny hook and has jointed legs that you can move.

A 25-page photo pattern for a jointed crochet ankylosaurus, with a bonus popcorn bucket.

Who this pattern is for

This pattern is for experienced crocheters. It uses a tiny hook, turning rows and a moving-joint assembly, so it takes patience.

Tips for making it

• Follow the numbered photos as you go, as each one matches a step in the text.
• Stuff the head and body firmly before you attach the legs.
• Change colors in the middle of a stitch where the pattern says, to get the clean line between dark and light brown.

Why you'll love this pattern

Bruno looks like a collector's toy, and the photo steps make the complex joints much easier to understand. The popcorn bucket adds a fun extra project to the same PDF.
