Crochet Dinosaur Puzzle

Crochet Dinosaur Puzzle Ball Pattern (1)Update July 2014:  This pattern is no longer available as a stand-alone pattern.  Instead it will soon be available as part of a book by Annie’s Publishing.

Some of you may have seen my FREE pattern for the Crochet Amish Puzzle Ball.  This Crochet Dinosaur Puzzle is an extension of the Puzzle Ball.

It consists of 3 segments that can be taken apart and assembled at whim.  It stands roughly 15cm high and is about 25cm from nose to tail.  One of my testers did suggest that I straighten his head and I almost did, but in the end I decided that I liked his head slightly cocked to one side.  I think it makes him look a little bemused.

The chunky design is perfect for little hands and the puzzle itself is enough of a challenge to keep most of your grown-up friends busy for a few minutes.  In fact, I love watching my guests struggle with the little wedges.  Yep, I am that sad.  Come to tea at my house and you have to complete the puzzle before you can have a muffin!

The crochet dinosaur puzzle works up quite quickly – although not as quickly as the Amish Puzzle Ball – and it is a less monotonous pattern.

You still have to make 12 wedges, though…yawn.  I really need to employ an army of little old ladies to make wedges for me! Any volunteers?

Anyway…I have great plans for this little beast.  I am also working on a whole host of other animals, so if the crochet dinosaur puzzle doesn’t quite float your boat, watch this space.  I will hopefully have the Rhinosaur pattern written up early in the new year and will be looking for some more testers then.

 I would like to say a HUGE “Thank you!” to my pattern testers:

  • Renee Getty
  • Marjolein de Vries
  • Karyl Mowers
  • Julia Szegedi

You guys have made me feel really special and it has been a pleasure getting to know you better.  Thank you for your enthusiasm both before and during the pattern testing.  And some of you made me laugh out loud with your witty emails.

Thank you guys!

Here are some photos of all our completed dinosaur puzzles.

    • The pattern is now no longer a free pattern. It is part of Dedri’s Amamani Puzzle Balls book HERE.
      The blog is very busy as there is so much information and patterns available, the majority of which are free of charge.

  3. I am having a problem understanding how to make the head on the Dino. I get to row 19 and I do nto understand where the three sts remain on row 10. I did use a stitch marker but it still does not make sense to me. Is there anything you can tell me to help with this as I really want to make this :)

    • Mamakat, did you have a look at the errata for the dinosaur pattern? You can find a copy of it HERE, but there will also be an errata link on Annie’s. If you haven’t applied the errata in Row 11 of the dinosaur head that might be the problem as you will only end up with 1 remaining stitch there, not 3.

      If you send me a few photos of your dinosaur head I can better help you diagnose the issue. You can use the contact form at the top of this site.

    • RuthAnn, in my sidebar you will see a link to the book that contains these patterns. They are no longer available as stand-alone patterns. Have a great day,

      Dedri

    • I can’t wait to see what you decide to make, Mary. Enjoy your marathon and please let me know how you get on. Holler if you have any questions! x

  12. Hi there, i’ve just come across your website and wow, stunning patterns, thank you so much for posting them as they are truly wonderful, i can’t wait to purchase my first one and give it a go. Being a single mum of three kids is hard and buying new toys is not something i can do so making something from the hoards of wool i keep getting given will be an awesome experience for my kids, thank you so much again. Keep up the wonderful work.

    • Thank you, Rebecca. I hope you have a lot of fun with the animals. I do have plenty of free patterns available if you don’t want to spend money on patterns. Please let me know how your projects turn out x
