Note:
1. The toy is knitted in a spiral pattern without lifting loops, unless otherwise specified.
2. At the beginning of the row, use a marker or other colored thread to help mark the first loop of each new row.
Required materials and tools:

Scarf:
Yarn art jeans yarn, hook number 1.5.
202 CH, we knit, starting from the fourth loop from the hook, HDC in each loop.
Parts assembly and decoration:
Sew the paws to the body. In turn, we pin the legs with pins to the body
(one at a time), then sew on. In the course of sewing, add to the paws filler.
Then we sew on the tail:
Then we sew thorns to the body. I got 2 spikes on the tail, 1 on back (between the tail and the neck), 2 on the neck. You may end up with two thorns will fit between the tail and the neck, then you can sew two (this depends on where the tail is sewn). At the top of the neck must be left some space for a scarf (if your dinosaur is wearing a scarf).
Now try on your head to your neck. If you want a head the dinosaur was directed a little down (like mine), then you need to on the neck knit additional rows. To do this, mark 14 loops – from one the side of the neck to the other on the back – as shown in the photo between fingers:
We knit: 1 SL-ST, 12 SC, SL-ST, cut the thread, fasten.
We will tie another row – we return to the place from which we started knit the previous row, retreat one loop to the right:
We knit: SL-ST, 14 SC, SL-ST, cut the thread, fasten.
Now on the head we mark 2 points that will be useful to us for sewing to the body. The first point will be sewn on the center of the front of the neck, the second is in the center of the neck at the back. First, we define the bottom of the head (if you used a thread as a marker, then this marker line is now like times and is needed). We put 2 pins, one after 12 rows, the second after 21 rows:
Now we will sew on the eyes. First, he will outline them with pins:
Now we will sew on the pupil buttons, for this we need a large needle.
We introduce a needle with a white thread between the two pins with which we have outlined the places where the head is sewn to the neck, we leave one edge sticking out, the second is displayed in one of the eyes:
Sew on a button, put the needle in the second eye, sew on a button, we withdraw the needle to the place where the second end of the thread remains sticking out. Igloo remove, tie two threads in a knot, hide the threads inside the head.
Now we outline the mouth with two pins (beginning and end):
This is how one of the pins for the mouth is located relative to the eye:
We introduce a needle with a thread “Children’s novelty” in black at the bottom of the neck (there where we introduced the white thread for the pupils), we leave one of the ends of the thread stick out, the second is drawn at one of the pins with which we marked the mouth.
We embroider the mouth with a chain stitch along the row from one pin to another. This we embroider the nostrils with a thread. At the end, we take the needle to the place where we have left stick out the second end of the thread. Remove the needle, tie a knot, hide the threads inside the head, more details in the photo:
Now we sew thorns to the head. If you sewed between the tail and the neck two thorns, then you can sew three on the head, instead of four, or knit more one thorn.
If desired, we tint the cheeks with a pastel pencil of pink or Red.
It remains to sew the head to the neck. Insert a thread of a contrasting color in front of the neck in the center:
We attach the same thread to the place of the pin, which marked the place
sewing to the body in front (making a stitch) and tying both ends of the thread bow.
We do the same on the back of the neck. Then we sew, the threads along the way we remove sewing. Add filler to the neck. Your dinosaur is ready!
