I was recently challenged to design a rainbow amigurumi for Pride Month. Until I started googling, I had no idea there were so many amigurumi animals done in a rainbow theme. The frill on the neck of a triceratops is a perfect place to put a rainbow, and the beautiful colors make this cute little guy more of a baby rather than a fierce predator. What do you think? Just look at that cute little face!
Triceratops Baby measures approximately 11” long (including tail) by 5” tall.
Gauge: 4 sc = 1”, 4 rows = 1”
Materials:
Worsted weight yarn
110 yards white
10 yards each red, orange, yellow,
green, blue, purple
Size G (4.00 mm) crochet hook
Yarn needle
Plastic safety eyes 15 mm
Fiberfil
