Say hello to our 3rd dinosaur in the dinosaur ragdoll series, meet Tobie, the Tyrannosaurus
Rex. Probably the most well known dinosaur ever. Also the scariest. Glad they’re extinct
and we don’t have to worry about getting eaten by a T-rex, am I right? My son is enjoying
eating Barry and Sammy now that he has his hungry Tobie.

Materials Needed:
Yarn:
Color A: approximately 250 yds worsted weight acrylic yarn (green)
Color B: approximately 30 yds worsted weight acrylic yarn (white)
Small amount of black yarn for the face
Extras:
2 Safety eyes, mine are 10mm
Stuffing
Hook size 3.75mm
Scissors
Needle
Stitches Key:
Sc – single crochet
inc – increase/2 sc in the same st
dec – decrease/single crochet 2 together
Sc3tog – single crochet 3 together
Ch/s – chain/s
st/s – stitch/es
Sl st – slip stitch
Notes:
– Ch 1 at the beginning of each row does not count as st
– ch 1 and turn at the end of every row unless otherwise marked
– when stitching together the pieces make sure to stick your hook through BOTH pieces to
make sure they’re sewn together
– I suggest you weave in your ends as you go, especially when working the arms and legs
when there’s more frequent color changes
– for “right side” or “wrong side” clarification that I refer to, I am only talking about your last
row made, just to keep the rows going in their every other pattern

Sewing:
Sew your 2 arms onto the dino’s body at approximately row 15 of the body stitching around
the opening on the top of the arm, making sure to stitch through both pieces of the arm.
Sew your 2 legs onto the dino’s body stitching around the opening of the leg, making sure
to stitch through both pieces of the leg. I also recommend adding a couple stitches to tack
down the leg near the bottom of the dino’s body so they don’t flop around.
Enjoy your new Tobie!
