This is a downloadable PDF knitting pattern only and not a finished dinosaur toy.

Introducing TONY TRIPLEHORN, the TRICERATOPS knitting pattern! This delightful dinosaur design is perfect for knitters of all skill levels looking to create a charming felted toy. Hello, my name is Tony Triplehorn, and I am a vibrant Triceratops who has just emerged from the lush, marshy undergrowth, keeping a watchful eye out for the mighty T-Rex!

When completed, this adorable Triceratops will measure approximately 30 cm long and 10 cm high, making it an ideal size for play or display. The pattern is knitted using DK yarn, providing a cozy and soft finish, perfect for cuddling. Whether you're an experienced knitter or new to the craft, you’ll find this pattern easy to follow with step-by-step instructions.

This beloved pattern was first published in My Weekly magazine on November 12, 1993, as part of the feature titled "Delightful Dinosaurs." Included is a picture of the original dinosaurs that were showcased in the magazine as proof of copyright. Over the years, we've heard many requests to bring this classic design back to life, so we decided that Triceratops deserved a fresh look!

To modernize this charming dinosaur, we've knitted it in an exciting new yarn that really makes Tony Triplehorn stand out! Doesn’t he look fantastic? This updated version follows the same pattern as originally featured in My Weekly, but my partner Georgina and I (Suzannah Holwell) have given it a splendid new look through updated images and a refined format.

Georgina and I now proudly work in partnership as designers with joint copyrights, proudly presenting our creations through The Old Toy Knitting Shop. We’re passionate about bringing joy to knitters and their families through our delightful patterns.
