Summer of 2015 saw the start of a dinosaur. During the winter, the dinosaur bits lived in a box. In the spring, the completed dinosaur finally saw the light of day.
This is the Allosaurus from the Knitting Dinosaurs book and on ravelry. I found some yarn in the stash that was green and red and figured it would make a good Allosaurus. It’s very similar to the one in the book apart from red vs. pink and no teeth, but I like that. The arms, legs and head can all be posed. He is a little smaller than I thought he would be when I started.
His eyebrows also make him seem a little angry, but that’s part of his face and what makes him an Allosaur (left) and not a T-Rex (right).
There are a few more dinosaurs in the book that I like, so you may see more knitted extinct beasts roam around these parts in the future.
For now one last Allosaurus picture and then onto the next finished critter.
Hello I am trying to make this but the front body seems to come out too small I am not sure what I am doing wrong
Sorry, I wouldn’t know either. From what I can see in the images, the front should stretch more because it’s garter and not stockinette.
