Gregor

Crochet Rhinosaur Puzzle Pattern

It is a privilege and an honour to introduce you to Gregor the Rhinosaur.

I cannot begin to tell you how much I love this little guy.  He is the second of my Amigurumi Amish Puzzle Animals (Amamani for short), and is based on the original Crochet Amish Puzzle Ball that is available as a free pattern.

The Crochet Rhinosaur Puzzle consists of 3 segments which can be assembled and taken apart at will.  You can always sew the segments together, but I think that that would defeat the whole purpose of the Puzzle.

Gregor is about 15 cm high and 15 cm long and the chunky design is perfect for little hands to grab hold of.

Crochet Rhinosaur Puzzle Pattern

This pattern is for Advanced Beginners.  It would be helpful if you are familiar with Amigurumi and short rows.  But please don’t be daunted if you are not.  I have included LOTS of photos and hints in the pattern instructions.

I am selling the Crochet Rhinosaur Puzzle Pattern on Ravelry…

…BUT…

…just as I did with the Crochet Dinosaur Puzzle Pattern, I am having a little promotion.

Assembly

Like I have mentioned before, I get great pleasure out of watching all and sundry struggle to assemble these Amamani.  It is really very straight-forward – once you figure it out.  But if you’ve never seen one of these puzzles before, the results can be hilarious.

Because I am nice, I will give you a little hint…

I would like to say a HUGE “Thank You!!!” to the ladies who tested this pattern for me:
