Triceratops

Let’s start with the most popular of my crochet dinosaurs, the triceratops! I have 3 different base triceratops crochet patterns to offer, including the full size version, mini version, as well as a lovey.

tanner the Triceratops

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! I love making this pattern in velvet and plush yarns like Parfait Chunky, which creates such a nice size plushie, with less time than the full size Tanner.

Mini Tanner the Triceratops is available for free on my blog, and also has an ad-free PDF available on Etsy and Ravelry.

Strawberry Triceratops

This free pattern modification to make a strawberry Triceratops is definitely a fan favorite! By making a few color changes, and substituting the strawberry pattern instead of the horns, Tanner the Triceratops becomes a fun and fruity dinosaur!

This pattern modification instructions and strawberry pattern are available for free on my blog, and save it to your Ravelry projects.

Hug Me Triceratops Lovey

If you’re looking for the perfect baby shower gift, look no further than this adorable Triceratops lovey! This free lovey pattern pairs beautifully with the amigurumi Triceratops above to makes a great matching set for new babies and their older siblings as well!

This Triceratops lovey pattern is available for free on my blog, with an ad-free PDF available on Etsy and Ravelry.

Tarbosaurus

These next free dinosaur crochet patterns are for the Tarbosaurus dinosaur. The Tarbosaurus can be compared to a Tyrannosaurus Rex (T-Rex) and Allosaurus, but these cute crochet patterns are nothing to fear!

Toby the Tarbosaurus

Meet Toby the Tarbosaurus, one of the largest dinos in my free dinosaur crochet pattern collection. Toby has spikes along his back, with embroidery around his eyes to give him a bit of a softer look.

Mini Toby the Tarbosaurus

This small Tarbosaurus pattern is a mini version of the larger Toby the Tarbosaurus. This small dinosaur is another one that I enjoy making in plush yarns to create a larger result in less time!

stygimoloch

The Stygimoloch is one of my son’s favorite dinosaurs, so I had to design one! You may remember “Stiggy” from Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom movie. She’s the dinosaur who headbutts the door open. The Stygimoloch is very similar to the Pachycephalosaurus, however, the Pachy was a bit larger.

Stevie the Stygimoloch

This Stygimoloch crochet pattern is one of my more detailed dinosaur crochet patterns, with the dome piece on her head, as well as the crown of horns.

Strawberry Lemonade Stygimoloch

This strawberry lemonade modification of Mini Stevie the Stygimoloch is one of my very favorite themed dinosaurs! I used Parfait Chunky with this design, and he turned out to be nearly as big as the full size Stygimoloch pattern.

Parasaurolophus

Now for my personal favorite dinosaur, the Parasaurolophus! The Parasaurolophus is another that you see throughout the Jurassic movies. Do you remember Ducky from Land Before Time? She was a Saurolophus, which is essentially a smaller version of the Parasaurolophus.

Parker the Parasaurolophus
