2. Materials needed

Before we begin, let's gather all the materials necessary to complete this project. You will need:

• Yarn in white, yellow, and berry colors (Himalaya velvet is recommended)
• A 4.5 or 4-millimeter crochet hook
• A stitch marker
• Pins and needles
• 4-millimeter safety eyes
• A pair of scissors
• Stuffing

Once you have gathered all the materials, we can move on to crocheting the head.

3. Making the head

To create the head of our dino, we will start with a magic ring and gradually increase the stitches. Follow these steps:

1. Start with a magic ring and make six single crochets in the ring.
2. In the second row, make six increases all around, resulting in a total of 12 stitches.
3. In the third row, make the first stitch and place the stitch marker. The total stitch count for this row is 12 single crochets.
4. In the fourth row, remove the stitch marker, make the first stitch, attach the stitch marker, and then make three more single crochets. Next, make four increases and finish with four single crochets, totaling 16 stitches in the fourth row.
5. Continue crocheting as per the instructions provided in the pattern.

Continue following the pattern step by step, creating the neck, body, tail, and feet. Once all the pieces are crocheted, you can sew them together, ensuring proper positioning for stability. Finally, stuff the plushie firmly, giving it the desired shape.
