Hi everyone! It's been a while but I have a new pattern!!!
Packy the Triceratops is cute and cuddly. Every time I would look for a pattern to make a dinosuar I never found one I wanted. So i decided to make my own. Now I want to share it with you.
Be sure to check out my youtube channel (link below). It is new and I am working to add video of how to make certain parts of my patterns, sew and promoting my books. Right now there is a clip that you can see me switching colors mid row or see shorts how Pack turns out.
I hope you enjoy this pattern and DO NOT copy the pattern and list on your website for money. This is my pattern and I am sharing it. If you make Packy you are welcome to sell your creation at craft shows or anywhere. :) I would love to see how you stuffy turned out. All of my socials are Jessie Lynn Creativity.

Row 50: DEC, tie off (1) leave a long tail for sewing.
When sewing to the body I like to use knitting needles to hold it in place where I would like the piece to sit. For the tip of the tail, I started in between row 67 and 68, Almost to the view tip but enough that I see a dark green edge. I stretched the piece all the way to the neck around row 25. Don’t worry about having space for the legs, we will be stitching the legs over the light green and dark green later.
Make 5 of these horn pieces. Start with Light Green and then we will use the Jacquard method to add in some Dark Green. The rounds combining the horn pieces will be with the Dark green yarn. If you are not comfortable switching colors mid row you are welcome to make the entire head piece Dark Green. This is your project so use whatever color method you want. ;)

Leave a lot of yarn for sewing. Tie it off and stitch it to the head.
When sewing to the head the front side I sewed to right 15, the back of it is sewn to row 16 and 17 to make it sit nice. There is no stuffing in this piece, it is just pressed together. You want to make sure it is angled to slick back like the pictures.

Sew the front legs between row 32-38. The extra legnth goes on the outside and up the body. Stitch the legs onto the light green as well.
This is where preforming both row 11 will put that color changing spot at the back of the legs. For the back legs sew them to the body between
Row 47-51. It'll seem the back legs are a little longer then the front legs. I did this so Packy can balance better.
