When there is more than one kiddo, you must be fair with the gifts. I made the sweet little Raccoon for my niece who just arrived in January but I couldn't leave out her older sister.
Trying to keep up with kids favorite things is tough, for my older niece, she's had a few favorites already. First it was Dori, then Elsa, and the latest is Dinosaurs. When I made this, I was just hoping she didn't move on before I finished! (Spoiler alert- she didn't!)
I wanted to make her plush in the velvet soft yarn like her sisters raccoon- and found the perfect pattern by MyCraftiiCreations. (link below)
Maker warning for the soft velvet yarn- make sure your are crocheting tight. Tighter than you do with your normal plushes (but not too tight because the velvet yarn will break too.) I haven't worked a lot with the velvet yarn before and I wasn't really paying attention as I went- so I hate to admit but I made this dinosaur twice. My first go was just too loose and it didn't look right.
Not trying to scare you from the velvet yarn- just be aware. It's definitely worth the buttery softness as you work with it to need to be a little extra careful. Don't be surprised if I share a sweater pattern made from it by next winter! 😉
I made this with the same super soft velvet yarn I made the Raccoon in. You only need one skein of each (and will have extra) Bernat Velvet in Burgundy Plum and Velveteal.
You can purchase the pattern from MyCraftiiCreations on Etsy- here.
Happy Crocheting!

I appreciate the caution about velvet yarn tension—it’s exactly the kind of detail that saves beginners from frogging an entire project. Reminds me how a simple SRT to VTT conversion can similarly spare you redoing subtitle timings with the wrong format. Your dino turned out lovely regardless, and the buttery softness clearly pays off.
The Pretty in Pink Dino Plush took me back to the days of college when the stress of academics was quite a lot. Now, as a PhD student and a part-time team member at Last-Minute Assignments, I appreciate such small joys. My struggles inspired me to help others especially students seeking python assignment help uk. This cute plush is a gentle reminder that encouragement can come in unexpected forms, whether it’s from kind people, persistence, or a soft pink dinosaur nearby.
amazing content and beautifully explained. sometimes i use instagram video download options to keep inspiring videos for later use.
