    About

    I decided to hunt for dinosaur jumper patterns as my grandson has just discovered them. He, like so many before him, can name a good selection.
    He chose the pattern from the ones I found as his favourite dinosaur is a T Rex. He requested yellow. Fortunately a great opportunity for using a few balls from my stash.

    Yarns

    Needles & Hooks

    • Single Point 4.00mm (US 6) 35cm
    • Single Point 3.25mm (US 3) 35cm

    Accessories

    • Tapestry Needle
    • Stitch Holder
    • Stitch Markers

    Measurements

    61cm

    Notes: Decided to Swiss darn the spotted pattern when complete.
    I tried binding off shoulder seams front and back together so no sewing up of seams. Worked well.
    Also outlined the picture and added eyebrow and nose ridges to bring him alive.

        He chose it from my small selection of dinosaur patterns.

        His mum says it goes with almost anything too - an added bonus.

      The outline stitch really sets it off as does the main yarn colour
