2. Cuddly Stitches Craft – Triceratops Crochet Pattern
Petra Salisbury’s triceratops is worked in sport weight yarn on a 2.5 mm hook and finishes at 9 inches seated and about 12 inches standing. It does need some sewing, but the frill is crocheted directly onto the head, and she includes a video tutorial for that part. She recommends using a hook a size smaller than the label so the stuffing does not show, and embroidery instead of safety eyes for a child under 3.

3. Storyland Amis – Trixie the Triceratops
Trixie is worked in worsted weight yarn on a 4 mm hook, with 12 mm safety eyes, and finishes about 6.5 inches (16 cm) tall. Holly Lanier includes step by step photos, so it is one of the easier ones to follow. She warns that your yarn, hook and tension will change the size.

4. Darling Maple Designs – Flip Flop Triceratops
Sara at Darling Maple Designs calls this a low-sew triceratops, and the body and head are one piece, with the muzzle, tail and spikes sewn on afterward. It is part of a pair with the Flip Flop Dino, and the two are sold as a pattern bundle on Ravelry and Etsy, while the triceratops itself is free.

5. Amigurumis Crochet – No-Sew Triceratops Amigurumi
Kaci Jenkins’ no-sew triceratops takes 2 to 3 hours in bulky (category 5) yarn on a 3.5 mm hook, with a small amount of white for the horns. The hook is intentionally smaller than the yarn label suggests, so the stitches lock together and the stuffing does not show. She says a stitch marker is essential, since rounds 6 to 8 mix front loop only and back loop only sections.

7. Nicole Chase – Tanner the Triceratops
Nicole Chase designed Tanner because her son loves dinosaurs. He is beginner friendly, about 10 inches sitting and 13 inches standing, and most pieces are worked in the round and sewn together, with a little embroidery for the nails. The page has tips and tricks and an alterations section, and an ad-free PDF is sold separately.

8. The Loopy Lamb – Trevor Triceratops
Trevor by Ashley Parker is an easy pattern that suits beginners, and she includes a video showing how to crochet the legs, because they use a special technique. She says you can make him bigger with a thicker yarn and larger hook, as long as your tension is consistent and the stuffing does not show. You may sell the finished toys with credit, but not the pattern.

It uses bobble, popcorn and puff stitches, and each has a linked tutorial on the page if you do not know them. There are also free T. rex, stegosaurus and brontosaurus patterns by her if you want a set.
