The Bernard the Dinosaur free toy crochet pattern for Halloween in Paintbox Yarns Cotton is a 5-page A4 PDF designed by Irene Strange. It produces a dinosaur toy approximately 7 inches (18 cm) tall, worked in Paintbox Yarns Cotton Aran with a US G/6 (4mm) crochet hook. The skill level is intermediate.
What the pattern includes
The pattern provides instructions for all pieces, worked in continuous rounds without joining. You can use regular or invisible decreases as you prefer. You'll need a pair of 3/8in (10mm) black safety eyes. The gauge is given: rounds 1–3 of the Body should measure 1¼in (3cm) across. A tip is included to make a smaller version with a US E/4 (3.5mm) hook and Cotton DK.
Printing and using the PDF
Print the A4 pages at actual size, not fit-to-page, to keep the gauge accurate. Remember that safety eyes are a choking hazard, so this toy is not suitable for children under 36 months. The pattern is for personal use only, not for resale.
