• Safety eyes or bullion knots for eyes
• White yarn for the teeth
• Stuffing
• Scissors
• Darning needle
• Stitch marker (optional)

Teeth (Make at least 2):

2. Chain 3.
3. Single crochet in the back loop of the 2nd chain from the hook.
4. Chain 1 and cut the yarn, leaving a short tail.

Tail:

1. Create a Magic Loop with 3 single crochets.
2. For Round 2: Increase in the first stitch (back loops only), then single crochet in the next two stitches.
3. Continue increasing in every other stitch until you reach six stitches in the circle.
4. For the next few rounds, single crochet in each stitch around, occasionally performing increases as the pattern specifies.

Body:

1. Chain 4. Single crochet in the 2nd chain from the hook, and the next one, then 3 single crochets in the last chain.
2. Turn the work to crochet 3 single crochets in the last chain on the opposite side.
3. Continue increasing and adding texture for the nostrils and upper lip as detailed in the pattern.
4. Add the eyes and teeth by sewing them into place.
5. Work the arms directly onto the body as small chain loops.
6. Create the legs by making extended bobbles as detailed in the pattern, ensuring you work into the previous round for proper shaping.

Final Steps:

1. Close up the bottom of the T-Rex, decreasing as necessary and stuffing the body before completely sealing it.
2. Attach the tail to the body.

Optional:

• Add spikes or a belly by following additional patterns.
• Place a weight such as a nickel inside the base to stabilize the T-Rex.
