What you need to know
Part Three of Nicola Valiji's dinosaur play bag knitting pattern brings three more knitted dinosaur toys. Here, you'll find easy knitting patterns for T-Rex, Stegosaurus and Pterodactyl. They’re all made with simple stitches, but there is quite a bit of shaping so make sure you count your stitches carefully after each row. Add details with embroidered chain stitch or knitted embellishments.
