I am with you with the mini dino crochet pattern. I thank the pattern designer. I’m so grateful for this cute mini dino. He has put his signature under another very nice work. I will leave his link below. First of all, if I have to talk about this little dino pattern, all parts of the cute dino are processed separately and fixed last. When crochet dino, our designer prefers green, white and yellow threads. But of course you can change these colors. A 3.5 mm crochet hook will do the trick. Now let’s follow how to make this crochet amigurumi dino step by step below.
