Cera the Dinosaur Cuddle Buddy is always looking for new friends to go on adventures with. This sweet dinosaur loves to laugh and giggle and keep your little one’s secrets safe and sound. When made with medium weight (4) yarn like Bernat Baby Velvet or Brava Worsted she 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.
