Rex the Dinosaur Cuddle Buddy is ready to warm his way into your heart. This sweet stuffed dinosaur is the perfect friend to take on any adventure. When made with medium weight (4) yarn like Bernat Baby Velvet or Brava Worsted he sits approximitly 15 inches tall. Or use a bulky (5) weight yarn like Bernat Velvet or Premier Parfait to make a slightly larger, more to love, version. Both sizes are perfect for cuddles, hugs and endless adventures.
Note: This is an Intermediate Design but the pattern includes detailed photos and links to stitch tutorial videos to help you along the way.
