A free crochet dinosaur pattern for a tiny keychain dino with a round grass-green body and a cream belly. This amigurumi dinosaur has a row of orange back spikes, a curled tail, little arms, pink cheeks and a chain loop on top to clip onto a bag or keys. It is worked in the round in single crochet with fingering yarn and a 2 mm hook, with embroidered eyes and a smile, and stands about 7.5 cm (3 in) tall with the loop. Follow it row by row with stitch counts and turn the interactive 3D model to see where the spikes, tail and arms are sewn.

- Size before assembly: about 5.8 cm at the widest, 6.5 cm long; 31 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 grass green (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R18).
- → 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: about 1.2 cm at the widest, 2.9 cm long; 11 rounds.
- Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff firmly just before sewing it on; a little less near the edge, then add a pinch when the seam is nearly done. Bend ≈ 50° around round 3<!-- the bend spreads over 5 rounds -->. After stuffing, bend the piece so the inner side of the bend faces toward the toy's left on the finished toy (on the piece: in round 3, 2 st from the centre top line, toward the toy's left <!-- st 1.84 left -->). On the inner side draw rounds 2 and 4 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 3 st, pull to the angle and hide the end inside.
