Triceratops

Bring a little prehistoric personality to your crochet collection. With its deep green body, three cream horns, large textured frill, round eyes, sturdy legs, and curved tail, this little Triceratops has a strong dinosaur look without losing its handmade charm. The frill and horns make this project especially rewarding. You’ll shape the body, create the legs and tail, build the three horns, and assemble the layered head details that turn a simple crochet form into an unmistakable Triceratops. Along the way, you’ll practice shaping, symmetry, layered construction, stuffing, assembly, and contrasting details. Follow our step-by-step tutorials and printable PDF pattern at your own pace. Make it for a dinosaur lover, give it as a handmade gift, or start a prehistoric crochet collection. Three horns, bold details, one dinosaur made by you.
