This Triceratops crochet pattern is by far my most popular dinosaur pattern. Tanner works up great in a variety of yarns, and is especially popular for creating various themed triceratops. You can see a few of those theme variations below. My favorites have been the Strawberry Triceratops, Blueberry Triceratops, and Sunflower Triceratops!

You can find this pattern for free on my blog, with the ad-free PDF available on Etsy or Ravelry.

Mini Tanner the Triceratops

This smaller Triceratops crochet pattern is just a mini replica of the larger Tanner the Triceratops pattern. Mini Tanner is one of my personal favorites!
