Knitted Dinosaurs: 15 Prehistoric Pals to Knit from Scratch

This super-fun collection of prehistoric pals is a must-have for dino-obsessed children and grown-ups alike. From the neck frills of Triceratops to the ferocious chompers on T-Rex to the aquatic flippers of Plesiosaur, the creative details included in these 15 knitting patterns make the charismatic creatures both endearing and true to what scientists believe they looked like when they roamed planet Earth (with some creative license taken with their coloring). Best of all, each dinosaur can be knitted up quickly using only one or two skeins of yarn, and a basic techniques section guides new knitters each step of the way.
