Materials & Supplies for the Baby Dino Crochet Toy

This crochet stacking toy uses two yarn weights and two hook sizes to create a structured, layered design. The combination helps the dinosaur fit perfectly inside the crochet egg.

You’ll Need:

• Blue cotton yarn (main body)
• Ivory yarn (egg)
• Beige yarn (spots)
• 1.5 mm and 3 mm crochet hooks
• Polyfill stuffing
• Velcro
• Fishing line (for egg shaping)
• Safety eyes or black yarn
• Tapestry needle & scissors

Using different hook sizes creates a sturdy structure ideal for a stacking toy.

How to Crochet the Pole & Base

The central pole is worked in continuous rounds using single crochet stitches. It’s stuffed firmly to create stability for stacking the rings.

The base is made in two parts and sewn together, working increases evenly to create a flat circular foundation. Once assembled, attach the pole securely to the center of the base.

Large Ring (Bottom Dino Ring)

The large ring begins with a long chain joined into a circle. It’s shaped using consistent increases to widen the ring and then decreases to close it neatly.

Before closing, stuff the ring evenly to maintain a firm, rounded shape. This ring becomes the base of the dinosaur’s body.

After assembly, attach legs and the long dinosaur tail for a playful look.

Middle Ring & Arms

The middle ring follows a similar pattern structure but is slightly smaller. Even increases and decreases maintain a smooth cylindrical form.

The arms are crocheted separately and lightly stuffed. Add small embroidered nails and subtle shaping for realistic dino details before sewing them to the ring.

Small Ring & Neck Rings

The small ring forms the upper body layer of the stacking toy. It is shaped with increases and gradual decreases for a snug fit.

Three neck rings are crocheted separately and stacked between the small ring and head. These create a smooth transition and add height to the toy.

Crochet the Dino Head

The dinosaur head is built with steady increases to create a rounded shape. Safety eyes are placed around Round 15, spaced six stitches apart.

Special BLO rounds create texture for nostrils, which are crocheted separately into front loops. Finish by stuffing firmly and shaping before closing.

This step gives the toy its adorable Baby Diplodocus look.

Adding Spots & Texture Details

Decorative spots are crocheted in round shapes (small, medium, and large). These are sewn onto the dinosaur body to create visual contrast.

Beyond decoration, the slightly raised spots help support fine motor skill development, making this stacking toy educational as well.

How to Crochet the Dinosaur Egg

The egg is crocheted in two parts: bottom and top. Each part is shaped using gradual increases up to 90 stitches.

Fishing line is incorporated while crocheting to create a structured egg shape. Tighten slightly at the end of each round to avoid a flat result.

Sew both halves together and attach decorative beige spots. Add velcro under one large spot for an interactive opening feature.

Assembly & Final Touches

Once all parts are complete, assemble the stacking rings in order from largest to smallest. Ensure each ring slides smoothly over the pole.

Secure all sewn pieces firmly, especially if gifting to a child. The final result is a charming handmade stacking toy with a sweet baby dinosaur theme.
