Chubby Stegosaurus Dinosaur Toy

Explore your creativity by knitting a squeezable Stegosaurus toy in soft pastel colours; with its delightful little orange spines and chubby legs, this adorable dino makes for a perfect summer project using chunky yarn.

This charming Stegosaurus is worked flat on 4.5mm knitting needles, eliminating the need for knitting in the round. Our detailed step-by-step pattern will guide you through every part of the knitting and assembly process, making it an enjoyable experience even for beginners. Not only is he a fun project to work on, but he also serves as an ideal companion to our Rainbow Dinosaur pattern, making a thoughtful and unique gift for boys and girls alike.

To knit this cute Stegosaurus pattern, you will need to use a few essential knitting techniques:

kfb: Knitting in the front and back of a stitch to create an increase. ssk: Slip the next two stitches to the right needle. Insert the left needle into the fronts of these two slipped stitches and knit them together to decrease. K2tog: Knit two stitches together to decrease size. K3tog: Knit three stitches together for a more significant decrease.

For optimal results, we recommend using a ball of Stylecraft Special Chunky in Aspen (colour 1422) for the Stegosaurus body. You'll also need small amounts of Stylecraft Special Chunky in Spice (colour 1711) to finish off the adorable spines. To add extra charm, we suggest using a tiny amount of Peter Pan Dk in Coral for the delightful rosy cheeks.

This knitting pattern is perfect for crafters looking to create a memorable, handmade toy that kids will cherish. Whether you're preparing for a baby shower, a birthday, or just a special surprise, this lovable Stegosaurus makes for a perfect gift. Dive into your next knitting adventure today!
