Hey all! Thanks for watching! Ive totally updated this pattern to be more beginner friendly and include a few new techniques! I highly suggest checking that one out instead. You can find it on my YT channel or at www.clubcrochet.com/triceratops
I have made 4 of these little guys. I lovw this pattern so much! Edit: finished 4. Making 5. Me and my mom made one together Edit 2: finished 5 and 6. I can’t stop making these. Got my sister roped in too Edit 3: my army is growing Edit 4: Hey it’s been a while, about a year and everyone is wondering how many i made. I made maybe about ten, and have not made one in a while, but these comments make me want to make some more so when i have time i will make some more!! I made them in purple and white because that is all i had a while ago
@@avasantiago9496 I saw a video like that, in the middle of the tutorial she started talking about what yarn she uses and I was like “That’s great and all but HOW THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO MAKE THIS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH”
From the pattern linked: Horns (make 3): [All in White] Ch 2, Working in the BLO of the 2rd ch from the hook, sc 1 Ch 1, cut the yarn and pull through to sew along the neck and back. Body: [All in Main color] Ch 2 or use the magic loop method Rnd 1: Work 4 sc in 2nd ch from hook or into magic loop (4) Rnd 2: sc 1, inc, working in BLO, sc 1, working in both loops, inc (6) Rnd 3: inc in each st (12) Rnd 4: [sc 3, inc] repeat 3 times (15) Rnd 5: [sc 4, inc] repeat 3 times (18) Rnd 6: sc 6, working in FLO, sc 1, [hdc 1, m.p, hdc 1] repeat 5 times, sc 1 (18 [+5 m.p]) Rnd 7: sc 6, working in BLO from Rnd 5, sc 12 (18) Rnd 8: sc 1, bo, sc 2, bo, sc 13 (18) Add eyes and horns Rnd 9 - 11: sc in each st (18 x 3) Rnd 12: sc 2, bo, sc 3, bo, sc 11 (18) Rnd 13: sc in each st (18) Rnd 14: [sc 1, invdec] repeat 6 times (12) Stuff slightly.

Ty and to all wondering, if it says Flo/blo that means from that point on! if a new row begins the stitches are meant to go in both loops again although not specified!
ok, i don't even crotchet, no idea why i am being recommended this video, but I have to give it a thumbs up because OH MY GOD LOOK AT THE TINY TRICERATOPS
Thank you so much! This actually did help, I accidentally closed the tab and couldn't find my place again, but you wrote it down, so thank you so much!
@@isfpimento yes!! I made a purple one in the same size as the video and then I used some chunky bright yellow/green wool to make a bigger one. I have them sitting in my shelf with the smaller one on top of the big one. When I get some more chunky wool I’m thinking of making another big one so there’s a whole family!
SAME! i tried to make it when i was a beginner and i STRUGGLED but after a year and a half its so much easier and it turned out much better than my first attempt lol
Hey! I'm a total beginner, I have been planning to learn crochet for a few years now, and in February my mom started teaching me how to do a potholder (basically just a square). I saw this video, and I knew I had to try! It took me around 4 hours to finish it, it's a little wonky and the horns look more like squares than triangles, but I'm really proud of myself and that's thanks to your video. The explanations are clear, I like your voice tone that's very soothing and comforting. So thank you!
I really like how he doesn't skip parts that are just 1sc in each stitch. He keeps going with you, so you don't have to constantly stop the video. This works out for me, but I know many of the faster crocheters are too quick for him and have to fast-forward the video to the next part. Thanks for the great video! ~A little advice~ I use a stitch marker for every row. I get lost if I don't have it, and I use a plastic piece or a bobby pin. Sometimes I just use a different color of yarn. I hope that this will help lots of beginners!
I bought a 120 pack of stitch markers on Amazon for $5!! They save my life with these little guys. I use chunky yarn so mine ended up the size of my forearm but I still think he’s little☺️
I actually found that it was a little too fast but much better than other tutorials, i agree that it’s really good that they do it with you and don’t cut out in the video like 50 sc. it’s an amazing tutorial and I managed to do it!
Your instructions are so clear! I’m new to crochet but was able to follow along and easily complete my triceratops. I’ll definitely join club crochet as I’d really like to be able design my Amigurumi when I get a little better. Thanks for the great tutorial!
I cannot tell you how happy I was when I didn’t mess up on any stitches I am experienced crochet artist but usually I get at least two stitches wrong but no NONE and the fact that this is my first video I have watched on your channel shows you are very easy to understand and I’m on the spectrum of autism and I find it hard to do “normal” day things and I’m so happy thank you👻👻👻🥰🥰
I just wanted to say thank you so much for this!!! I love how you don’t assume we know what you mean when you say half double crochet and you take the time to go back and teach us! Truly the most helpful tutorial I’ve seen. I learned that I’ve been doing so many things wrong and how to fix them just from this video so thank you!!!
Tip for anyone making this: use the yarn you trimmed off while adding things (like the horns and eyes if you sewed the eyes) to help stuff it. It’s only a little waste but it still helps plus you use a little less real stuffing.
You can also do this with fabric scraps if you sew! Just cut them up into little pieces so it's soft. Especially good to do with polyester/acryllic since natural fibers will at least decompose
Dino Saur While you are correct that pterosaurs aren’t dinosaurs, it isn’t because of a lack of backbone. All vertebrates (order: chordata) in fact have a spinal chord!
@@fossilizedcorvid Agreed, thanks for making that point; mammals, reptiles, birds, amphibians, fish... whether they live on land or in the water they've all got backbones. All reptiles, including dinosaurs, pterosaurs, crocodylomorphs, and marine reptiles, have backbones. In fact, "pterodactyl" isn't even the name of an animal; it should be "Pterodactylus," or whatever other pterosaur, like Pteranodon or Rhamphorynchus (whose tail is frequently added to mainstream representations of pterosaurs) is being referred to.
For anyone coming here for the first time, or if you’re fairly new to crocheting, USE A STITCH MARKER. If you don’t have any, a paperclip works just fine. This pattern is so UNBELIEVABLY hard to follow if you don’t. IMO he should use them too for tutorials like this, but regardless, use them!! They will make your life so much easier.
Just a tip I found, since I have made several of these, I put a stitch marker in the back loop of the first single crochet, before you start making the fins. When you come back around, there is no difficulty locating where that first loop is. Everyone loves this little dinosaur. Thank you SO much for the tutorial, and I hope my tip made sense.
I haven`t crocheted in 15 years or so, but I manage to finish one in 2 hours. Im so happy with it, I`ve named her Beep and I will create an army of them
It’s refreshing to see somehow not only have very easy to understand instructions but also shows us the little slip ups. Like no one ever shows them struggling to put the yarn though, letting go of the yarn etc. and it makes me feel like I’m failing so this was very comforting!! I’ve only been crocheting for a week so as soon as I can afford to buy more stuff I’ll be making this
dude i just started crocheting and failed at making a granny square earlier today, i think i'm getting ahead of myself a bit with this wizardry. even tho this sorta motivates me to try more, cause being able to do stuff like this sounds like so much fun. i'll stick to my tribble crochets for now but this is being booked marked for when i'm more competent.
Just so you all know I’m also new and trying to make a blanket. I’ve been working on it for a year and it’s hardly a scarf. However I’ve mastered how to make baby whale amigurimi and my triceratops is going well too. I hope you guys give this a try and make your own dinos💛💛💛💛
The first crochet project I actually finished!! Thank you for this great tutorial. I love the fact you don't edit and cut parts of the video, you show everything from the beginning to the end- makes it so much easier to understand!
Ahhh! This works PERFECT for my friend’s upcoming birthday!! She’s obsessed with dinosaurs at the moment and she’ll love this! Thanks for the easy to understand tutorial!
This lil man is the REASON I learned to crochet, and was my very first ever crochet project 💗💗 I started and finished him today and I'm so happy with my adorable little friend
super cute triceratops and very clear instructions. you're the first person to explain the invisible decrease in a way I can remember also, I'm impressed that you don't loose count even though you use no stitch marker and talk a lot!
I know this is old but I don’t care. This is officially my new favorite crochet channel. I’ve never found someone that explains so clearly before! You’re a blessing!
I’m a newbie to crochet, having successfully picked it up about a month ago. Your projects are adorable, and your instructions are so clear for any beginner to follow. Of course, the lighting on the video helps a lot to make watching how to do the unfamiliar stitches so much easier! I can’t wait to try some of these on my own! If you can do basic, and I mean BARE BASIC crochet stitches (chain, single, and double) you can follow along without TOO much difficulty while improving and picking up new stitches.
I wasn't looking for this, but now I am so grateful. I fell in love with your work, specially since I am a dinosaur lover. You are so freaking talented and a good teacher. God bless you and thank you so much for sharing this amazing gift.
My self taught, RUclips inspired, crochet journey started a few months after the lockdown began... since then I have made several bees, an army of whales, an among us guy, a snowman, and now come the dinos!!!!
I'm currently making an army of tiny triceratops. I just got some yarn today to make a super chunky one and some embroidery thread I had to make a super tiny one!
I am Russian and decided to tie such a dinosaur according to your video. Without subtitles it was clear and interesting. I'm glad that there are such videos on RUclips, this is my first toy!!!
I loved this so much, the way you describe how to do thing is really clear and helpful, and your small talk was interesting and friendly. My tiny Dino turned out perfect, thank you so much!! Definitely going to make more for my cat to play with!
My little cousin is in love with Dinosaurs! I’m just starting to learn how to crochet so I’m going to try to make this for her, I’ll try making her a few and I’ll update my comment after I attempt making one, this is during the whole pandemic stuff of 2020 so let’s see if I can learn how to crochet during Quarantine
Club Crochet I thankfully found a new pack of them that I hadn't opened yet so I was able to make these in all the colours of the rainbow. I'll soon have to order more again.
I absolutely love this tutorial, especially how you described all the different kind of stitches and walked the viewer through, instead of fast forwarding, and this really helped me a ton! Wonderful job!❤️😌
Club Crochet it’s been a few years since I’ve crocheted and so I’m getting back into the hang of it, but practice makes perfect, so I believe that you have improved!
Oh my I'm so excited for learning how to design and make my own creatures! Most crocheters just want to show you how to make a pattern. But what's a crocheter without a pattern. I have been searching for a designer and teacher, to teach me how to make shapes, design, and the whole process! Yay. I'm going to get my paid subscription right now.❤
Oh my - this saved me from pure boredom. Finally catched Corona after two years clear and needed something small to do in between the many, many naps. I just finished my first little one in about eeehhh, two and a half hours with lots of breaks. Loved it, will create many more to give to all my friends. Thank you!
I've made 3 of these in different colours for friends and everyone absolutely LOVES them! Having these videos is a lifesaver since I'm new to crochet and the visual is sooooo helpful! I've also made the seahorse and now moving on the bumblebee 😁 keep em' coming!
You should totally consider becoming a member on the site! Every pattern I make there has a full video tutorial just like this one and a full PDF, expertly designed webpage, plus you can even get the same materials I use in the videos mailed to your door! www.clubcrochet.com
Made two of these as my first attempt at crocheting. One for my cat and one for my baby cousin. Both can't stop chewing on them so I'll call it a success.
Oh that’s so cute! I will make it for my cats also :) Might need something different for the eyes though, they are too crazy and might pull it out and eat it 😂
@@juliadandy6019 I knotted up some black yarn and attached it the same way you would for the horns since I don't have the eyes that Louis uses. If you wrap the yarn two or three times (depending on yarn and tension) when making a normal knot instead of the standard one, then the knot ends up being about the same size as the 6mm found in most patterns. For anything larger, I'd magic loop it and attach the tiny round as a flat button eye instead. Hope this helps!
Lately i have been feeling kind of lonely, and I know my grandma has too, and she has been crocheting for years, so i decided to take it up too. I havent told her yet, but I am making this for her as a surprise to show her that I’ve started doing something she loves! Thank you so much for this tutorial!
I didn't know anything about crochet before starting this cute dinosaur. It was lucky I even had a hook at home. Even though it took me about a week to finish this half an hour piece, it really was fun! I watched the video on 0,5 speed and still stopped it every two seconds to watch exactly what he was doing. Englisch isn't my first lenguage so I didn't even know the words he used, but he still managed to make me understand what I had to do. During the whole process there was only one time where I had to look something up, but everything else was explained so well and step by step that even a beginner like me understood what to do. Thank you very much, thanks to this video I turned out to make a beautiful, not quite perfect, but decent birthday gift for a close friend of mine. My dinosaur doesn't look quite as refined as the one in the video and has kind of a tilted face, but I am so happy with it. I just saw the thumbnail of the video and randomly wanted to give it a shot and now I'm so happy and proud to have my finished piece. This is a great video! :)
this is the first time i've seen one of your videos, and it's already super clear that you have a real passion for what you're doing. it makes me so much more invested in your videos because you're happy and give thorough explanations :)
I started crocheting thanks to this video. Great tutorial even for begginers but i reccomend learning all of the elements from the discription. It's much easier ;)
This is the MOST HELPFUL tutorial I have ever used. Nothing went wrong 😅 and everything was clearly explained. Me and him also croshet at the same speed so I didn’t have to pause the video once ❤ thank you so much! I’m also new to amagurumi so it’s so rewarding to finish my first peace!
What I love about this pattern is besides the horns, there is no sewing on major pieces like the legs and tail, sewing on parts is my least favorite part of crochet projects lol any chance you could do a mini Dragon like this? Thank you for this free tutorial!
I know this is two years after this video came out and i know some other people have done this Dino but i would very much like to see you crochet a Parasaurolophus. Its my favorite...even if you don’t I’m sure ill be making a little Dino friend anyway! Loved the video
I just learned how to crochet through this video. I wasn't planning on learning how to crochet but when RUclips blessed me by recommending this lovely video to me I couldn't help it. 10/10, cute video, my triceratops boi looks a little wonky but I love him. Thank you.
Tip: no need to clip the end of the horns after attaching them, the extra yarn can help to fill in the head. I use scraps to stuff my stuffies all the time
I have decided to learn to croquet. Edit: Just realized how complicated yet simple this is so imma practice and when I'm good enough I'll make this so its bookmarked for now I'M BACK I ALMOST FORGOT BUT I'VE LEARNED LET ME TRY THIS RQ
I made one for q friend who loves dinos, the look on her face was priceless. Can't wait to learn to how to make my own patterns! Something I have always wanted to learn
This baby was the reason I tried crocheting!! Took me many attempts and your baby octopus came first (for some reason he was easier), but today I finished the dino! he’s small and fat and adorable and I love him Thanks for the tutorial :D
Hi there! I'm not sure if you'll see this comment, but you're very helpful when explaining on how to do the stitches. I struggle with trying to read out patterns, and seeing you do the stitch helps immensely. Hopefully I'll be able to make a triceratops and make you proud 🥺
This is the first pattern I follow on my own, and it was so much fun to make!! I'm incredibly pleased with my little smolcerotops, I love it!! Thank you so much!!
Ah I love it!!! Thank you! I have a 4 hour commute 4 days a week and I’m thinking of taking my crochet supplies and just making little dinos and other little toys to give to students around campus.
I actually hate most crochet tutorials because they skip through lots of the steps, but your video was so easy to follow. Definitely going to make myself a collection of dinosaurs.
And I actually decided to get a membership due to this video because I wanted to make the other dinosaurs as well and now I’m working on a stegosaurus. Once I have one of each I’m going to make some as cat toys for my fur babies.
Unbelievable thank you for sharing that my grand daughter will love it, you are very easy to listen to as well. Some people's voices are hard to listen to, but yours is nice.
Omg this channel is perfect I’ve been looking at crotchet for a while and my mum bought me a magazine full of everything I need to begin crotchet I have no clue where to begin and my six year old sister has decided that I need to make her a dinosaur and a snoopy dog so wether she wants one or not she’s getting one of these 😂
@@sofastuffing i used an old key ring and took the toy thing off it and looped yarn through the triceratops back and through the lil chain thing on the key ring i think i did it before stuffing can’t quite remember sorry
My grand daughter wanted to learn how to crochet from a "professional." She and Me`me` sat down together to make this. Very easy and simple directions for 12 year old to watch, rewind and repeat to learn and make a "stuffie" for herself.. Half done in one sitting and now can crochet, count and read her yarn and work. Now just practice so she can make with or for friends.
I've only been crocheting for a couple weeks with your 101 videos, and the motivation to start was this little guy showing up on my feed! It took me a day or so but I was able to struggle through making this dino, my first amigurumi and non-101 project. I spent Xmas eve laboring and had him ready for xmas day. Turned out pretty good I think. Thank you so much for the patterns and clear tutorials!
Great video! I love how conversational you are as you crochet along with us! Thank you so much =) I like the part you're like "My kids would have a lot of crochet things" , I am a mom and this is my life lol. And I do also like the idea of making things for my cats too!
Completed the Chubzilla last night, did the triceratops this evening! They're all so adorable and fun, thanks again for the tutorial!! Had a lot of fun making both of these. Your instructions are great! I can't believe you don't use a stitch marker though!! I'd be so lost without it haha
I finally attempted this and other than my poor choice of yarn color for the body it came out great! This is my most favorite amigurumi video tutorial so far. The yarn choice for the video is VERY readable so I could make sure I was on track.
Such a cute little dude! Well written pattern and narration was easy to listen to. I love the written along with the video to double check my work but otherwise great!!
Hi! I only started crocheting a month ago. So far I’ve just made handbags for friends and this cute little triceratops was my first attempt at amigarumi. Your video is so clear and precise that I was successful on my first attempt! I just bought a few patterns from your website and I wanted to say a big thankyou for being such a calming presence and your videos are the most in depth tutorials I’ve seen. If I could give you a medal I would!
If you want more dinos I have a bunch more video tutorials and patterns, and even a crochet kit with all the materials needed right here: www.ClubCrochet.com/DINO
Im really excited to make one for each of my students (20!) with colorful variegated yarn! I also bought colour eyes to give them extra personality! ♥️ thank you
I just did it with you!!!! Lol I just learned how to crochet 2 days ago. So.. I don't really want to post a picture... but it's so cuteeeee!!!! It was so easy to follow your instructions and it's definitely the best thing I've made so far!!!!
This is the hardest crochet pattern I’ve ever tried for no reason. My autistic ahh bf loves triceratops so we wanted to make them together little did we know that these absolute hell creatures will come to haunt our nightmares. the triceratops of doom will always be a cherished memory 😭🩷
I'm impressed with your explaining skills because I came to this video with no clue how to do this and I have a learning disability so the fact that this is making sense to me while I'm making this is amazing. I'm definitely gonna subscribe

I just wanted to say thank you so much for this!!! I love how you don’t assume we know what you mean when you say half double crochet and you take the time to go back and teach us! Truly the most helpful tutorial I’ve seen. I learned that I’ve been doing so many things wrong and how to fix them just from this video so thank you!!!
I’d like to announce that the only thing I managed to do without failing was the horns! I’m going to retry the triceratops now. Tata.
Good luck!
so how'd it go?
I failed the horns....
SAME
Yes I tried the horns and I was like- HA THIS IS SOOOOO EASY
Tip for anyone making this: use the yarn you trimmed off while adding things (like the horns and eyes if you sewed the eyes) to help stuff it. It’s only a little waste but it still helps plus you use a little less real stuffing.
Thank you for the tip! Also try fluffng up the yarn by splitting it multiple time to make it feel like stuffing!
You can also do this with fabric scraps if you sew! Just cut them up into little pieces so it's soft. Especially good to do with polyester/acryllic since natural fibers will at least decompose
PLEASE more dinos!! Any Dino, they're all great, just like the tutorial :) (okay but maybe a Pterodactyl first)
Yes. Dinos are the greatest of friends.
Bracciosaurus :)
Dino Saur While you are correct that pterosaurs aren’t dinosaurs, it isn’t because of a lack of backbone. All vertebrates (order: chordata) in fact have a spinal chord!
@@fossilizedcorvid Agreed, thanks for making that point; mammals, reptiles, birds, amphibians, fish... whether they live on land or in the water they've all got backbones. All reptiles, including dinosaurs, pterosaurs, crocodylomorphs, and marine reptiles, have backbones.
In fact, "pterodactyl" isn't even the name of an animal; it should be "Pterodactylus," or whatever other pterosaur, like Pteranodon or Rhamphorynchus (whose tail is frequently added to mainstream representations of pterosaurs) is being referred to.
Dino Saur Love that your name matches your vibe 😝
For anyone coming here for the first time, or if you’re fairly new to crocheting, USE A STITCH MARKER. If you don’t have any, a paperclip works just fine. This pattern is so UNBELIEVABLY hard to follow if you don’t. IMO he should use them too for tutorials like this, but regardless, use them!! They will make your life so much easier.
Just a tip I found, since I have made several of these, I put a stitch marker in the back loop of the first single crochet, before you start making the fins. When you come back around, there is no difficulty locating where that first loop is. Everyone loves this little dinosaur. Thank you SO much for the tutorial, and I hope my tip made sense.
This is a great tip!!
I haven`t crocheted in 15 years or so, but I manage to finish one in 2 hours. Im so happy with it, I`ve named her Beep and I will create an army of them
It’s refreshing to see somehow not only have very easy to understand instructions but also shows us the little slip ups. Like no one ever shows them struggling to put the yarn though, letting go of the yarn etc. and it makes me feel like I’m failing so this was very comforting!! I’ve only been crocheting for a week so as soon as I can afford to buy more stuff I’ll be making this
dude i just started crocheting and failed at making a granny square earlier today, i think i'm getting ahead of myself a bit with this wizardry. even tho this sorta motivates me to try more, cause being able to do stuff like this sounds like so much fun. i'll stick to my tribble crochets for now but this is being booked marked for when i'm more competent.
Just so you all know I’m also new and trying to make a blanket. I’ve been working on it for a year and it’s hardly a scarf. However I’ve mastered how to make baby whale amigurimi and my triceratops is going well too. I hope you guys give this a try and make your own dinos💛💛💛💛
Wasn’t actually watching, just wanted company while I worked on my project. Your voice is so comforting
The first crochet project I actually finished!! Thank you for this great tutorial. I love the fact you don't edit and cut parts of the video, you show everything from the beginning to the end- makes it so much easier to understand!
Finally! A very clean and clear crochet tutorial! I love how you show each different stitch slowly, great for learning!
Ahhh! This works PERFECT for my friend’s upcoming birthday!! She’s obsessed with dinosaurs at the moment and she’ll love this! Thanks for the easy to understand tutorial!
This lil man is the REASON I learned to crochet, and was my very first ever crochet project 💗💗 I started and finished him today and I'm so happy with my adorable little friend
Im so amazed with your confidence in not using a marker. Youre the first crochet master that dont use marker in their video👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 so awesome
super cute triceratops and very clear instructions. you're the first person to explain the invisible decrease in a way I can remember
also, I'm impressed that you don't loose count even though you use no stitch marker and talk a lot!
I know this is old but I don’t care. This is officially my new favorite crochet channel. I’ve never found someone that explains so clearly before! You’re a blessing!
It's not that old! Hahaha. We're actually voting on this months theme now and more dinos are on the list! You should vote! members.clubcrochet.com/
I’m a newbie to crochet, having successfully picked it up about a month ago. Your projects are adorable, and your instructions are so clear for any beginner to follow. Of course, the lighting on the video helps a lot to make watching how to do the unfamiliar stitches so much easier! I can’t wait to try some of these on my own! If you can do basic, and I mean BARE BASIC crochet stitches (chain, single, and double) you can follow along without TOO much difficulty while improving and picking up new stitches.
Wow!! Thank you so much for this wonderful review! I really appreciate it and I'm so glad my pattern was so well received!
I wasn't looking for this, but now I am so grateful. I fell in love with your work, specially since I am a dinosaur lover. You are so freaking talented and a good teacher. God bless you and thank you so much for sharing this amazing gift.
I have no clue how to crochet but I feel the need to watch this video multiple times. This is my version of therapy.
As a beginner to crotchet this pattern was surprisingly easy to follow. I love my little Dino so much. Thank you.
We watching this knowing damn well, I don’t know how to crochet
Hahahaha if you wanna learn I made this free series! www.crocheting101.com
Leilani Rodriguez it not hard you could learn really easily
Same
Same, I've been binge-watching crochet videos (mainly Amigurumi) however, I plan on learning
Same but it's 1am and I'm planning on attempting crochet tomorrow. I'm doing it because I just got gifted crochet hooks, knitting needles and wool :)
T rex is my favorite. Im not handy enough to do these, but i just like watching
Just finished editing the video for the Trex today! Coming soon!
My self taught, RUclips inspired, crochet journey started a few months after the lockdown began... since then I have made several bees, an army of whales, an among us guy, a snowman, and now come the dinos!!!!
Me too!!!🙂😎
I'm currently making an army of tiny triceratops. I just got some yarn today to make a super chunky one and some embroidery thread I had to make a super tiny one!
Same! I learned the same way and time- so many hats, scarves, some blankets, little whales and octopus and jellyfish!
I am Russian and decided to tie such a dinosaur according to your video. Without subtitles it was clear and interesting. I'm glad that there are such videos on RUclips, this is my first toy!!!
I loved this so much, the way you describe how to do thing is really clear and helpful, and your small talk was interesting and friendly. My tiny Dino turned out perfect, thank you so much!! Definitely going to make more for my cat to play with!
My little cousin is in love with Dinosaurs! I’m just starting to learn how to crochet so I’m going to try to make this for her, I’ll try making her a few and I’ll update my comment after I attempt making one, this is during the whole pandemic stuff of 2020 so let’s see if I can learn how to crochet during Quarantine
:ooo
how ya doing
update??
Update failed 😞
Its been 3 years, how is it going?
This Triceratops is absolutely amazing and so adorable! I crocheted along with your video and I love my little dino (Triceratops is my fav dino
I just ordered like 600 of them O.o
Club Crochet I thankfully found a new pack of them that I hadn't opened yet so I was able to make these in all the colours of the rainbow. I'll soon have to order more again.
I absolutely love this tutorial, especially how you described all the different kind of stitches and walked the viewer through, instead of fast forwarding, and this really helped me a ton! Wonderful job!❤️😌
Thank you so much!! I feel like I’ve gotten even better since this video but I’m not sure haha
Club Crochet it’s been a few years since I’ve crocheted and so I’m getting back into the hang of it, but practice makes perfect, so I believe that you have improved!
Oh my I'm so excited for learning how to design and make my own creatures! Most crocheters just want to show you how to make a pattern. But what's a crocheter without a pattern. I have been searching for a designer and teacher, to teach me how to make shapes, design, and the whole process! Yay. I'm going to get my paid subscription right now.❤
Oh my - this saved me from pure boredom. Finally catched Corona after two years clear and needed something small to do in between the many, many naps. I just finished my first little one in about eeehhh, two and a half hours with lots of breaks. Loved it, will create many more to give to all my friends. Thank you!
I've made 3 of these in different colours for friends and everyone absolutely LOVES them! Having these videos is a lifesaver since I'm new to crochet and the visual is sooooo helpful! I've also made the seahorse and now moving on the bumblebee 😁 keep em' coming!
You should totally consider becoming a member on the site! Every pattern I make there has a full video tutorial just like this one and a full PDF, expertly designed webpage, plus you can even get the same materials I use in the videos mailed to your door! www.clubcrochet.com
i’m two years late but these dinos are adorable and i really like the way you explain things, it’s very clear on what to do and how to do it
Thank you so much :) Never too late to crochet dinosaurs lol
Made two of these as my first attempt at crocheting. One for my cat and one for my baby cousin. Both can't stop chewing on them so I'll call it a success.
Oh that’s so cute! I will make it for my cats also :)
Might need something different for the eyes though, they are too crazy and might pull it out and eat it 😂
@@juliadandy6019 I knotted up some black yarn and attached it the same way you would for the horns since I don't have the eyes that Louis uses. If you wrap the yarn two or three times (depending on yarn and tension) when making a normal knot instead of the standard one, then the knot ends up being about the same size as the 6mm found in most patterns. For anything larger, I'd magic loop it and attach the tiny round as a flat button eye instead.
Hope this helps!
@@AuhidaChowdhury it helps so much!! Thank you!! Can't wait to try it =D
Lately i have been feeling kind of lonely, and I know my grandma has too, and she has been crocheting for years, so i decided to take it up too. I havent told her yet, but I am making this for her as a surprise to show her that I’ve started doing something she loves! Thank you so much for this tutorial!
I didn't know anything about crochet before starting this cute dinosaur. It was lucky I even had a hook at home. Even though it took me about a week to finish this half an hour piece, it really was fun!
I watched the video on 0,5 speed and still stopped it every two seconds to watch exactly what he was doing. Englisch isn't my first lenguage so I didn't even know the words he used, but he still managed to make me understand what I had to do. During the whole process there was only one time where I had to look something up, but everything else was explained so well and step by step that even a beginner like me understood what to do.
Thank you very much, thanks to this video I turned out to make a beautiful, not quite perfect, but decent birthday gift for a close friend of mine. My dinosaur doesn't look quite as refined as the one in the video and has kind of a tilted face, but I am so happy with it. I just saw the thumbnail of the video and randomly wanted to give it a shot and now I'm so happy and proud to have my finished piece. This is a great video! :)
this is the first time i've seen one of your videos, and it's already super clear that you have a real passion for what you're doing. it makes me so much more invested in your videos because you're happy and give thorough explanations :)
THIS IS THE CUTEST THING IM ORDERING YARN RIGHT NOW JUST TO DO THIS
I swear in this holidays I will give to EVERYONE mini crochet dinosaurs, I don't care if my hands will fall off, i'm in love with this
I started crocheting thanks to this video. Great tutorial even for begginers but i reccomend learning all of the elements from the discription. It's much easier ;)
This is the MOST HELPFUL tutorial I have ever used. Nothing went wrong 😅 and everything was clearly explained. Me and him also croshet at the same speed so I didn’t have to pause the video once ❤ thank you so much! I’m also new to amagurumi so it’s so rewarding to finish my first peace!
This video got me "hooked" I have had so much fun with this hobby!
What I love about this pattern is besides the horns, there is no sewing on major pieces like the legs and tail, sewing on parts is my least favorite part of crochet projects lol any chance you could do a mini Dragon like this? Thank you for this free tutorial!
Tamara Rose anything can be a dragon if you believe hard enough
I know this is two years after this video came out and i know some other people have done this Dino but i would very much like to see you crochet a Parasaurolophus. Its my favorite...even if you don’t I’m sure ill be making a little Dino friend anyway! Loved the video
I'm working on new dinos now actually so I'll give it a shot!
Club Crochet I can't wait!
Club Crochet yay! I’m sure you’ll do great!
@@ClubCrochet Please please please! more little dinos so i can make them for my nephew!
I just learned how to crochet through this video. I wasn't planning on learning how to crochet but when RUclips blessed me by recommending this lovely video to me I couldn't help it. 10/10, cute video, my triceratops boi looks a little wonky but I love him. Thank you.
Tip: no need to clip the end of the horns after attaching them, the extra yarn can help to fill in the head. I use scraps to stuff my stuffies all the time
Great tip!
I used to knit and jjst started crocheting but when i woukd knit stuff o did this too!! Yarn scraps can be great fillers
It's nice to see another male that likes crochet.
My motto is "Anyone can be a hooker" haha
Club Crochet I cant believe I read that quote the wrong way- 🤡🤡 that’s a very good motto to live by though!
I have decided to learn to croquet.
Edit: Just realized how complicated yet simple this is so imma practice and when I'm good enough I'll make this so its bookmarked for now
I'M BACK I ALMOST FORGOT BUT I'VE LEARNED LET ME TRY THIS RQ
Evelin -_- same good luck 👍
Good luck!! :D
I made one for q friend who loves dinos, the look on her face was priceless. Can't wait to learn to how to make my own patterns! Something I have always wanted to learn
This baby was the reason I tried crocheting!!
Took me many attempts and your baby octopus came first (for some reason he was easier), but today I finished the dino!
he’s small and fat and adorable and I love him
Thanks for the tutorial :D
Hi there! I'm not sure if you'll see this comment, but you're very helpful when explaining on how to do the stitches. I struggle with trying to read out patterns, and seeing you do the stitch helps immensely. Hopefully I'll be able to make a triceratops and make you proud 🥺
This is the first pattern I follow on my own, and it was so much fun to make!! I'm incredibly pleased with my little smolcerotops, I love it!! Thank you so much!!
Smolcerotops 🥰
Ah I love it!!! Thank you! I have a 4 hour commute 4 days a week and I’m thinking of taking my crochet supplies and just making little dinos and other little toys to give to students around campus.
I actually hate most crochet tutorials because they skip through lots of the steps, but your video was so easy to follow. Definitely going to make myself a collection of dinosaurs.
And I actually decided to get a membership due to this video because I wanted to make the other dinosaurs as well and now I’m working on a stegosaurus. Once I have one of each I’m going to make some as cat toys for my fur babies.
Unbelievable thank you for sharing that my grand daughter will love it, you are very easy to listen to as well. Some people's voices are hard to listen to, but yours is nice.
I have no CLUE why this showed up in my feed, but it was very interesting and I might even try it!
Omg this channel is perfect I’ve been looking at crotchet for a while and my mum bought me a magazine full of everything I need to begin crotchet I have no clue where to begin and my six year old sister has decided that I need to make her a dinosaur and a snoopy dog so wether she wants one or not she’s getting one of these 😂
This suddenly pop into my RUclips recommendation and to be true I'm glad. ❤
made one of these into a key ring for a friend it’s so cute and the pattern is amazing thank you for this!
How did you attach the keyring? I'm thinking of doing the same thing
@@sofastuffing i used an old key ring and took the toy thing off it and looped yarn through the triceratops back and through the lil chain thing on the key ring i think i did it before stuffing can’t quite remember sorry
@@charlottes1786 thank you
My grand daughter wanted to learn how to crochet from a "professional." She and Me`me` sat down together to make this. Very easy and simple directions for 12 year old to watch, rewind and repeat to learn and make a "stuffie" for herself.. Half done in one sitting and now can crochet, count and read her yarn and work. Now just practice so she can make with or for friends.
This is such a great video. As a crocheter I would recommend including a stitch marker during those rounds of sc the whole way round.
This is too cute! I can’t crochet but I must learn now. My whole family will be getting mini triceratops for Christmas now.
This is so cute
I just finished one.. it took me about an hour and a half but it was soooooo easy and I enjoyed it.. thank you for this lovely pattern..
I litrally celebrated on row 7 when I counted back and found 18 stitches. That round was so hard!!!!
I've only been crocheting for a couple weeks with your 101 videos, and the motivation to start was this little guy showing up on my feed! It took me a day or so but I was able to struggle through making this dino, my first amigurumi and non-101 project. I spent Xmas eve laboring and had him ready for xmas day. Turned out pretty good I think. Thank you so much for the patterns and clear tutorials!
this is probably one of the sweetest and most understandable crochet tutorials i've ever seen, tysm :)
Great video! I love how conversational you are as you crochet along with us! Thank you so much =) I like the part you're like "My kids would have a lot of crochet things" , I am a mom and this is my life lol. And I do also like the idea of making things for my cats too!
Hahaha they really will. I'm gonna still end up buying TONS of Legos though. Some day.... (sooner rather than later probably at my age lol)
Yes we are a lego family as well! It's the way to be!😁
Completed the Chubzilla last night, did the triceratops this evening! They're all so adorable and fun, thanks again for the tutorial!! Had a lot of fun making both of these. Your instructions are great! I can't believe you don't use a stitch marker though!! I'd be so lost without it haha
that's the cutest thing I've ever seen and I made myself one. that was so helpful thank you
help how do I make the horns? Do I SC into the loop closer to the hook or slip stitch????
Awesome video! I'm just getting started with Amigurumi but you're instruction were so clear that getting through the project was no problem.
I finally attempted this and other than my poor choice of yarn color for the body it came out great! This is my most favorite amigurumi video tutorial so far. The yarn choice for the video is VERY readable so I could make sure I was on track.
i’ve been wanting to learn, i guess this is my sign. love this 🥺
Here's something to help get you started: www.crocheting101.com
these are so cute! my friends and family absolutely love them. i’ve made 14 now!
Oh wow.. 14!!? I probably couldn't even make 1 (if i had the tools to do so)
How long did it take you to finish one? 😰
After a long 2 weeks I made 60 of these guys and now I throw them at random kids at my school
Lol maybe you should sell them or something
😂😂
I should totally do this 😂
NICE
Such a cute little dude! Well written pattern and narration was easy to listen to. I love the written along with the video to double check my work but otherwise great!!
Hi! I only started crocheting a month ago.
So far I’ve just made handbags for friends and this cute little triceratops was my first attempt at amigarumi.
Your video is so clear and precise that I was successful on my first attempt!
I just bought a few patterns from your website and I wanted to say a big thankyou for being such a calming presence and your videos are the most in depth tutorials I’ve seen.
If I could give you a medal I would!
I'm crying this is legit so cute😭😭
If you want more dinos I have a bunch more video tutorials and patterns, and even a crochet kit with all the materials needed right here: www.ClubCrochet.com/DINO

Loved it. I subscribed. I love how talented and ingenious you are.

@@mileslol8457 zum hhhhh
I don’t have those eyes what should i do?? :(
just finished mine and i love it it’s so cute, my moms stealing it for car decor
Im really excited to make one for each of my students (20!) with colorful variegated yarn! I also bought colour eyes to give them extra personality! ♥️ thank you
I just did it with you!!!! Lol I just learned how to crochet 2 days ago. So.. I don't really want to post a picture... but it's so cuteeeee!!!! It was so easy to follow your instructions and it's definitely the best thing I've made so far!!!!
This is the hardest crochet pattern I’ve ever tried for no reason. My autistic ahh bf loves triceratops so we wanted to make them together little did we know that these absolute hell creatures will come to haunt our nightmares. the triceratops of doom will always be a cherished memory 😭🩷
HEHEHE you have no clue how long I scrolled looking for this comment It will be a beloved memory for ever mi amor~ 🩷
From pine needle weaving baskets to dinosaur crochet I love RUclips
Literally the cutest thing ever, love it
I'm impressed with your explaining skills because I came to this video with no clue how to do this and I have a learning disability so the fact that this is making sense to me while I'm making this is amazing. I'm definitely gonna subscribe
