Today we are introducing my new pattern and kit for Little Dino! This adorable pint-sized and seamless project is pure fun to knit up in no time at all. It’s the perfect summer project and everyone will love your finished dinosaur, young and old.
Included in the Little Dino Kit:
* Enough of our Home Worsted to make at least one Little Dino, either striped or solid, in the following three kit colorway choices: Grassland (light green) and Big Woods (dark green) with an orange accent, Morning Sky (icy light blue) and Bluff (medium blue) with a yellow accent, or Strawflower (blush pink) and Picket Fence (creamy white) with a green accent.
* Black cotton embroidery thread for the eyes and mouth.
* The pattern is included for free with the kit purchase and comes in the form of a code printed on a card found inside your kit bag.
* Printed canvas project bag with an illustrated tag by Susan
Construction Notes:
The base is worked flat in garter stitch. The body stitches are picked up around the base edge and is worked in the round from there. The body is worked either in a single color or in simple stripes. The tail and neck stitches are placed on waste yarn while the back is grafted closed. The tiny tail is worked in I-cord, the neck and head are worked in the round. The top of the head is grafted closed. The plates and legs are picked up and knit onto the toy. The optional spots are embroidered on using the spider web technique (video tutorial link included).
The Little Dino Kit comes in three different colorway choices. Each kit provides enough Home Worsted Weight yarn to make ONE dinosaur toy, either striped or solid. A Ravelry pattern download code, embroidery thread for the face and stuffing is also included.
