How to Crochet a Triceratops Dinosaur || Amigurumi Pattern Tutorial 

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

That little dinosaur has convinced me to learn crochet

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

Once I learn how to do this my house will be overflowing with mini triceratops

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.

Rnd 15: invdec, sc 2, invdec 4 (7) Stuff fully. Rnd 16: invdec, sc 1, invdec, sc 1, sl.st 1 (5) Cut the yarn and pull through. Sew together.

I taught myself to crochet with the hopes of making this triceratops someday and after a year I’ve come back to this pattern to finally make it!

And on today's episode of "Where the hell has quarantine taken me on RU-vid?": A crochet dinosaur

Him: very clear and understanding instructions Other RU-vidrs: “OK SO YOU DO THIS AND THEN UHH THIS AND THEN DO A LOOP HERE AND THEN THERE”

Time stamps💕 0:00 intro✨ 1:00 horns🔼 2:24 body❤️ 16:51 face🙂 22:49 body🌸 35:00 outro💎 Edit: hope this helped!🥰

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’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.

i am never having kids, but my friends' kids and my sister's kids are going to have lots of crochet toys

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.

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👻👻👻🥰🥰

After a long 2 weeks I made 60 of these guys and now I throw them at random kids at my school

PLEASE more dinos!! Any Dino, they're all great, just like the tutorial :) (okay but maybe a Pterodactyl first)

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!

We watching this knowing damn well, I don’t know how to crochet

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

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!

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.

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

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!

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!

T rex is my favorite. Im not handy enough to do these, but i just like watching

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 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!

Wasn’t actually watching, just wanted company while I worked on my project. Your voice is so comforting

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!

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

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!

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

made one of these into a key ring for a friend it’s so cute and the pattern is amazing thank you for this!

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!!!

My self taught, RU-vid 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!!!!

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

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.

As a beginner to crotchet this pattern was surprisingly easy to follow. I love my little Dino so much. Thank you.

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

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

Finally! A very clean and clear crochet tutorial! I love how you show each different stitch slowly, great for learning!

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!

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 🥺

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!

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

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.

THIS IS THE CUTEST THING IM ORDERING YARN RIGHT NOW JUST TO DO THIS

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 😭🩷

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

It's nice to see another male that likes crochet.

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’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

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

I have no clue how to crochet but I feel the need to watch this video multiple times. This is my version of therapy.

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.

This suddenly pop into my RU-vid recommendation and to be true I'm glad. ❤

This video got me "hooked" I have had so much fun with this hobby!

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 RU-vid, this is my first toy!!!

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 😂

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!❤️😌

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.

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!

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!

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!!

I litrally celebrated on row 7 when I counted back and found 18 stitches. That round was so hard!!!!

This is too cute! I can’t crochet but I must learn now. My whole family will be getting mini triceratops for Christmas now.

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

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.❤

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 :)

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 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 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 ;)

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'm crying this is legit so cute😭😭

From pine needle weaving baskets to dinosaur crochet I love RU-vid

i’ve been wanting to learn, i guess this is my sign. love this 🥺

I just learned how to crochet through this video. I wasn't planning on learning how to crochet but when RU-vid 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.

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!

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

Thank you for this! This is my first time crocheting and this little dino here was my first ever crochet! He ended up looking super cute!

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! :)

I saw this dinosaur in my reccomended over a year ago when I didn't even know what crochet is. It convinced me to start crocheting And now I've been crocheting over a year and finally would call myself good at it I've come back to make the protect that started it all off

these are so cute! my friends and family absolutely love them. i’ve made 14 now!

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!

that's the cutest thing I've ever seen and I made myself one. that was so helpful thank you

My son asked me to make this for him, I was super scared because I am still pretty new to crochet. I absolutely loved this video! you made it so easy to follow and it was such a fun little project! I look forward to making more!

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

My parents are wondering why I am crying in my room with a bunch of yarn

i have no idea why this was in my recommended but now i wont be able to rest until i have made this dinosaur

this is my motive to live. the crocheratops.

Idk why this is in my recommended cuz I don’t know how to crochet but THIS IS SO CUUUUUUUTE I MIGHT ACTUALLY TRY THIS

I have never crochet a day in my life before but RU-vid decided to recommend this to me anyway Honestly I’m not mad

19:22 So I can save my time space, but this tutorial is really helpful so far! Thanks for uploading it, I'm a beginner at this and everything has been explained well :)

just finished mine and i love it it’s so cute, my moms stealing it for car decor

I love this pattern so much! I can’t wait to make more yarn friends! Thank you for the great tutorial!

Thank you so much. Your tutorial is very clear and easy to follow. ❤😊

I dont even do crochet but this video made my life better, love it
