EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN:
-------------------------------------------------------
CROCHET TIP (chain stitch):
1 chain stitch should equal 1 single crochet in width. Make sure the chain-stitch loop is pushed up the hook so it is not tight. If the chain stitches are tight, the piece will also be tight in sections where there are a lot of chain stitches.
WORK 2 SINGLE CROCHETS TOGETHER:
Insert the hook through the first stitch and pick up the strand, insert the hook in the next stitch and pick up the strand (= 3 loops), make 1 yarn over and pull it through all 3 loops (= 1 stitch decreased).
LOOP STITCH:
Sew with a single strand and black. The eye is embroidered over rows 1 and 2 of the face with 5 stitches between each eye. See diagram which shows how to work loop stitch.

Dag Nel,
Kan je aangeven waar je precies tegenaan loopt bij het haken van de nek? Op welk punt loop je vast? Wellicht kunnen we je dan beter helpen...
15.10.2023 - 17:20I have only been crocheting for a month. I found this pattern fairly easy to follow.. there are times I had to re-read something to figure it out… but trust the process .. it all comes together!!
19.09.2023 - 06:07"BODY: Now the 2 front legs are attached to the body." Uhh? No. No they are not. At no point yet has it said to attach them and we've worked the nose, face, and neck, but not the body yet so where do they even go?? Whoever said this was the easiest pattern was the biggest liar after Trump.
11.09.2023 - 23:08DROPS Design answered:
Dear Lisamarie, with this sentence we mean that the front legs will be now attached on to the body while crocheting the ROW 1, you will crochet around the body and crochet at the same time the front legs working into the 3 layers (2 layers from the front leg folded double + the stitch on the next row on body). Hope it can help. Happy crocheting!
12.09.2023 - 09:16I dont understand how im supposed to do the neck. am i still going around the circle or am i only going across so many stitches? am i supposed o be going down the neck in the rows ive done before instead of the circle like i have been? if i do how do i continue working in a circle if im going down the rows instead of around in the stiches. am i not working in the stiches around anymore? the neck is really confusing me

Dear Courtney, you worked 8 rows for the head, you will now work the first row of neck crocheting in both ends of head, ie in the beg/end of the 8 rows of the head (on both sides = 16 rows). Neck is then worked back and forth (you turn at the end of each row) increasing on every other row. Happy crocheting!
18.08.2023 - 08:03Er staat dat er met 2 draden wordt gehaakt. Is het aantal gram gebaseerd op die 2 draden? Nel

Dag Nel,
Ja hoor, de benodigde hoeveelheid garen is gebaseerd op 2 draden.
10.08.2023 - 20:54Hej igen...det er de efterfølgende omgange jeg mener... 2...3...4 osv er det den første luftmaske der menes og erstatter den en fastmaske?..

Hej Annette, du hækler luftmasken for at komme op i højde. I denne opskrift erstatter luftmasken ikke fastmasken
22.06.2023 - 13:45Når I skriver...kædemaske i den første fastmaske...er det så luftmasken der menes? På forhånd tak...
19.06.2023 - 07:02DROPS Design answered:
Hei Annette. Nei, det menes fastmaske, slik det står. Under FORBEIN hekler man 2 luftmasker, deretter hekler man 5 fastmasker i den første luftmasken og for å avslutte sirkelen hekler man en kjedemaske i den første fastmasken (av de 5 fastmaskene). mvh DROPS Design
19.06.2023 - 12:52Hi. Just wanted to say that I finished the Dino in less than two days. The pattern is easy and well written. I'm very happy with the result. A word about fellow crocheters who had problems with the neck. I think the description could have been easier if the start of the neck had been pointed out as crocheting in the "ends" of the 16 rows. Instead of nose and face why not called it head? Just a thought. Thanks for the pattern. Will make another dino tomorrow. Jessy
02.06.2023 - 00:31Beste, Kan deze dino in Drop snow gewassen worden ? Zonder dat deze vervilt ? met vriendelijke groeten Heidi

Dag Heidi,
Als je de normale voorschriften volgt voor DROPS Snow, dan zou dat moeten kunnen. Het vervilten gebeurt als je expres te heet wast. DROPS Snow is wel heel gevoelig voor vilten, dus wees altijd voorzichtig met wassen. Hoe de vulling reageert op het wassen dat weet ik niet. Daarvoor zou je de informatie op de verpakking van de vulling moeten raadplegen.
17.05.2023 - 17:33Hi, I am really struggling with the neck! Whereabouts I do start the first chain?! And when you say alongside the face am I doing two separate pieces either side to stitch at the end?!
