Free crochet dinosaur ornament pattern: a Dino in Fairy Lights Ornament amigurumi, about 6 cm tall in fingering yarn with a 2 mm hook. It is a round green dinosaur with a cream belly, back spikes, a stubby tail, worried brows and blushing cheeks, wrapped in a string of coloured bulbs. You need about 65 m of yarn: 25 m green, 10 m dark green, 5 m cream, 5 m red, 5 m pink, 5 m yellow, 5 m blue and 5 m orange. Plan on roughly 2 hours. Hang it on the tree beside real lights, or give it to a dino fan at Christmas. Spin the 3D model and follow the round-by-round pattern to see how the bulb string is sewn on.

- Size before assembly: about 5 cm at the widest, 4.1 cm long; 22 rounds. Multi-colour rounds are listed stitch by stitch from the round-start marker; keep the round start on the piece's centre front line (as it sits on the finished toy). The order is for right-handed crocheting (right to left on the outside); left-handed: reverse it.
- Change to green (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R12).
- → Insert the safety eyes now (positions: see “Face”) and fix the backs. Start stuffing (firmly) and keep adding as you decrease.
- Top up the stuffing if needed. Fasten off leaving a 15 cm tail; with the needle weave it through the front loops of all 6 stitches of the last round, pull tight and hide the end inside.
- Size before assembly: an oval about 2.3 × 1.7 cm at the widest, 1.1 cm long; 5 rounds. The piece is oval: the rounds go around the chain, and on the finished toy the chain (the long side of the oval) runs side to side; the starting chain is at the front of the piece (on the finished toy). The round-start marker is in the middle of a long side (the piece's centre line), while R1 starts at a turn: after R1 shift the round start — sc 1 more (not counted in any round) and place the marker there. The increases fall on the turns.
- With green: ch 4.
- Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff lightly just before sewing it on; a little less near the edge, then add a pinch when the seam is nearly done.

- Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff lightly just before sewing it on; a little less near the edge, then add a pinch when the seam is nearly done. Bend ≈ 60° around round 5<!-- the bend spreads over 5 rounds -->. After stuffing, bend the piece so the inner side of the bend faces up on the finished toy (on the piece: in round 5, on the centre top line). On the inner side draw rounds 4 and 6 together (2 rounds go into the fold): with the needle and matching yarn make 3–4 stitches through the loops of both rounds over about 2 st, pull to the angle and hide the end inside.
- Of these: low — 1; mid — 1; top — 1. Size before assembly: about 0.9 cm at the widest, 0.9 cm long; 4 rounds.
