Baby Dino Stacking Toy with Egg Crochet Pattern

This baby dino is a crochet stacking toy: a blue pole stands on a round base, and chunky rings stack up to form the long neck and body. The head, arms, legs and tail attach to the rings, and a big ivory egg with beige spots can hold the whole toy. It is a fun toy that helps small children to develop fine motor skills.

Who this pattern is for

This pattern suits crocheters who know how to work in the round with two different hook sizes, and who are comfortable with sewing parts together.

Tips for making it

• Use the two hook sizes as in the pattern, because the dino and the egg use different yarn weights.
• Burn the tip of the fishing line to make a ball before you crochet the egg around it.
• Fill the base with stuffing as you sew the two parts together.

Why you'll love this pattern

It is a toy and a decoration in one, and the egg storage makes it easy to tidy away.
