Assembly
1 – glue the eyes between 11th and 12th rounds on sides of the head, embroider nostrils on 5th round, embroider a smile on 6-7 rounds (I embroidered a smile only on one side).
2 – sew the head to the body.
3 – attach arms using thread attaching (or sew) 1 round below the seam between head and body.
4 – attach legs using thread attaching (or sew) between 4th and 5th rounds of the body on the sides.
5 – sew on the tail at the back of the toy approximately on 4-7 rounds (position it so the dino can rest on the tail while sitting).
6 – now you need to make the dino thorns with yarn of a different color (I have yellow): insert the hook under the central stitch of the 11th round of the head, make 2 ch, then work 3 hdc under the central stitch of the next (12th) round, make 2 ch, a slst under the center stitch of the next round. Again 2 ch, 3 hdc under the stitch of the next round, 2 ch, a slst under the stitch of the next round. Thus, continue over the head, then move on to the body. When you reach the tail, the scheme changes slightly: * make 3 ch, skip one round, a slst * so repeat 3 times altogether to the tip of the tail. Cut the thread, secure it, weave in the ends.
