Crochet Dinosaur Plush With Spiked Back, 24 cm Handmade Soft Toy

This crochet dinosaur plush has a round body, short legs and a row of soft spikes running from the head to the tip of the tail. It is made in two colours you choose, with the spikes and the belly in the contrast shade. Parents buy it as a first toy, and it suits a nursery shelf as well as a cot.

How to order your crochet dinosaur plush

Every one is crocheted after the order arrives, so the colours are yours rather than whatever is left in a box. Browse the rest of the handmade stuffed animals if you are putting a set together.

1. Pick two colours. One for the body, one for the spikes and belly.
2. Add a name. Tell us the spelling and we embroider it on a small belly patch, free.
3. Approve the photo. We send a picture of the finished dinosaur before we pack it.

Why the round body suits small hands

The crochet dinosaur plush has a single firm ball of a body with short legs sewn on low, so it sits upright on its own and does not roll off a shelf. Cotton has more grip than slippery yarn, which makes it easier for a small hand to hold on to, and it keeps its shape after a wash rather than going limp.

The spikes are crocheted as one strip and sewn down the middle of the back, so there is nothing stuck on that can come loose. They are soft enough to squash flat and spring back, which is the part most children end up playing with. The tail is short on purpose, so it does not get used as a handle.
