Beg every sc round with 1 ch (this does not replace first sc) and finish with 1 sl st in first sc from beg of round.
Turn every sc row with 1 ch - this ch does not replace first sc on row.
DECREASE TIP:
Dec 1 sc by working 2 sts tog.
This is done as follows: Insert hook in first st and pull thread through, insert hook in next st and pull thread through, make 1 YO and pull thread through all 3 sts on hook.

Dag, Vind het een moeilijk patroon om te lezen.. Ben nu bij toer 17 en daar staat 14 vasten haken keer met 1 losse haak dan heen en weer de borst maar hoe vaak moet je heen en weer haken voor de borst??

Dag,
De zin over dat je dan heen en weer haakt voor de borst is als extra informatie, dus je kunt gewoon verder gaan met toer 18. Bij toer 21 staat dat je weer verder gaat in de rondte.

07.12.2022 - 18:06I am trying to complain about this poorly made tutorial but you cannot do that :) add pictures
07.12.2022 - 14:45Round 4-6 what does any of this mean

Dear Aaaaar, after you have worked round 3, turn and work now row 4 from WS with 1 st in each st all the row, turn and work 1 st in each st from RS (row 5), turn and work 1 st in each st all the row from WS (row 6), turn and work now round 7 (= as explained, joining with a sl st at the end of this round). Happy crocheting!
28.02.2022 kl. 10:58Hi I have been following the pattern as written, dc double crochet, and arrived at row 18 only to find that the filling is very exposed due to the open nature of the double crochet. when double checking with the photo it looks like a single crochet, sc throughout. Please clarify. Thanks
27.09.2021 - 23:20DROPS Design answered:
Dear Sb, correct, the pattern is worked with double crochets UK-terminology this means single crochet in US-terminology, edit language by scrolling down the menu below the photo if needed and chosse English (US/in). Happy crocheting!

Bonjour Mme Rosanis, tout à fait, à la fin de chaque tour, plutôt que de terminer par 1 maille coulée dans la 1ère maille du début de ce tour, déplacez votre marqueur (pour repérer la transition des tours) et crochetez 1 maille serrée dans la 1ère maille du tour précédent et continuez ainsi jusqu'à ce que le tour 14 soit terminé, puis crochetez encore 5 mailles serrées pour que les tours commencent désormais au milieu du cou pour le tour 15. Bon crochet!
15.09.2021 kl. 07:13Jeg forstår ikke hekletipset: «Hver omg med fm starter med 1 lm (denne erstatter ikke første fm) og avsluttes med 1 kjm i første fm på beg av omg.» Hvis man hekler en kjm i fleste fm på begynnelsen av omgangen: vil ikke den første fm av omgangen bli forskjøvet bortover til venstre? Eller skal man strikke en kjm OG fm i første maske på beg av omg?
22.08.2021 - 22:41Bij toer 21 staat haak dan tot midden onder de buik moet je dan nog een paar toeren rondhaken? Hoeveel toeren
13.07.2021 - 19:25DROPS Design answered:
Dag Eline,
Nee, je hoeft geen extra toeren te haken, maar je haakt na toer 21 verder tot midden onder de buik. Vanaf toer 22 haak is het begin van de toer dus steeds midden onder de buik.
20.07.2021 kl. 17:38Wat een leuke dino, ik ben helaas al tweemaal opnieuw begonnen, maar de borst komt bij mij op de rug te zitten… ik snap er niks van! Het lijkt mis te gaan doordat je vanuit het midden van de hals heen en weer gaat haken, dan komt de borst toch automatisch op de rug? Ik zou eigenlijk vanuit het midden van de nek heen en weer moeten haken?
15.06.2021 - 20:52I have tried make this dinosaur twice and each time it’s misshapen from the neck onwards, and the tail ends up where the back legs should be. The instructions are not straightforward and confusing there’s no photos to help either. , I wanted to make a few of these and I’ve been making amigurumi animals for years, But after pulling it out twice I give up.
