EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN:
-------------------------------------------------------
CROCHET TIP (chain stitch):
1 chain stitch should equal 1 double 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 double 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.

Beste, Kan deze dino in Drop snow gewassen worden ? Zonder dat deze vervilt ? met vriendelijke groeten Heidi
17.05.2023 - 15:37DROPS Design answered:
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 kl. 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?!
10.04.2023 - 19:16Hello, I’m making the DINO CUDDLES dinosaur but I’m having trouble with the NECK. Can you send pics? Or more instructions on how to crochet the neck onto the face. Thank you, Anita PS: I’m a seasoned crocheted but I can’t figure this out.
06.02.2023 - 22:03DROPS Design answered:
Dear Anita, you worked the face back and forth, in rows for 8 rows,you will now crochet the neck back and forth but along the 8 rows worked x 2 = 16 rows in total (neck will be worked top down from the head) increasing evenly to get 22 sts in these 16 rows. Happy crocheting!
07.02.2023 kl. 10:20I have crochet for many years and really have no trouble reading patterns or crocheting from just looking at a picture. Trying this several times with disappoint, it is the hardest pattern I have ever tried to follow.
02.10.2022 - 07:11DROPS Design answered:
Dear Mrs Cain, sorry to read you have so much troubles, please feel free to ask your question here, and tell us where you are stuck so that we can help you further. Happy crocheting!
03.10.2022 kl. 10:11I am a visual learner and would neeed some pictures to help me visualize what each phase (face, neck, legs, etc) look like so I know if I am doing it right. Can you post some pics, please?
01.10.2022 - 15:29DROPS Design answered:
Dear Patti, these are all the available pictures that we have of this project. Happy crocheting!

Dear Mrs Wilson, you now don't work over the 27 stitches of the head (these will be worked later together when you will work together the whole piece from the head towards the tail), you just crochet in the sides of the 8 rows starting on the left side of head (when nose is towards you): 2 dc in each row = 16 dc then down along the other side (under nose): 2 dc in each row = 16 dc = you have now 22 dc. you now work in rows increasing 1 dc on each side on every other row until you get 26 dc. Happy crocheting!

Hej Camilla-Louise, halen hækles rundt om bagenden, så du kommer ikke i nærheden af benene :)
29.04.2022 kl. 08:19Bonjour, Je vous ai posé une question concernant le nécessaire de rembourrage pour ce modèle. Je vais passer commande sur un site qui vend de la laine drops pour le nécessaire mais j'ai besoin de la quantité de ouate de remplissage à commander cela m'évitera de payer deux fois les frais d'envoi. merci Je vais le faire pour un cadeau proche donc relativement urgent votre réponse. Merci

26.04.2022 kl. 11:10Bonjour, Dans le matériel nécessaire pour faire le DINO il faut de la ouate de rembourrage . Pourriez vous m'indiquer la quantité approximative nécessaire svp 500 gr 1kg ou plus . Je dois la commander . Merci beaucoup.

Bonjour Mme Blain, la quantité va dépendre de la matière choisie et de la façon dont vous allez le rembourrer (plus ou moins ferme); il faut environ autant de rembourrage que pour un coussin d'ornement d'environ 50 x60 cm. Bon crochet!
