Tagsbeware on the savannah
Because there’s another dinosaur out there. This one just looking for your approval–he’s a little insecure but ultimately a happy guy.
Pattern: Trice
Yarn: Knitpicks Crayon, orange
Needles: US 3 Knitpicks circular
Started: 3pm Saturday
Finished: 1am Sunday
Total Time: 5 hours or so, a little more
Modifications:As with Mr. Stegs, I knit this one in the round and stuffed as I went. I’m not sure if I completely forgot the numbers I used for Stegs or if I just stuffed him more full, but he ended up more chubby than Mr. Stegs. And by golly if he isn’t just even cuter as a result!
But so I don’t forget the values I used in case I want to make one again (which I’m sure I will), and if any of you opt to knit it in the round, here’s what I did for casting on and getting to the 10 stitches that the pattern calls to be cast on.
Nose: Cast on 4 stitches. Kf/b in each stitch on next row. Knit one row plain. K1, kf/b, knit to last 2 stitches, kf/b, k1. 10 stitches.
Legs: Cast on 12 stitches, knit 12 rows. (K1, k2tog) around. Knit one row plain. K2tog around. Draw through (no plain row before drawing through).
The horns actually came out ok, so I’m considering adding Mr. Stegs’s tail spikes, but I’m not sure if I want to.
Love!

another cute one! these would be really hard to give up :)
He is very cute! I love the orange!
Aww. And he’s smiling!
So cute! And Trice is big enough to make sure no one bullies Mr. Stegs.
triceratops!
Oh goodness…I love the smiley. He just has the look of a somewhat dopey but extremely lovable personality.
Jurassic knits! (or would it be triassic?) hehe
Adorable :)
Freakin’ adorable!
Cute! They make a perfect team.
Adorable! Love the orange. :)
They make such a dashing pair!
I wasn’t sure I’d like Trice’s horns if I knit her, which is why I did a Stegs (http://spectacled.blogspot.com/2006/04/example.html).
Triceratops was always my favorite dinosaur, because as a child I thought my name was in tri-sarah-tops.
AUGH! SO CUTE! The fatter the better, I say–who wouldn’t love a chubby dinosaur?
I love knitted toys in Crayon! How cute!
Hey, they came out awesome. And I love the way that homemade stuffed animals inadvertently gain personality when you sew their faces– they seem so much less zombified than a lot of commercial toys.
He’s adorable! I love his insecure little smile :)
How cute! They make a great pair.
Those are some darn cute knits. Though they’re hardly anything to “beware of.” More like: be ready to frolic with glee on the savannah!
He is soooo cute. I love him.
How cute are those two guys together?
a) Cute
b) Pretty cute
c) Very cute
d) SO SO SO CUTE OH MY GOD MY EYEBALLS MAY MELT FROM THE CUTENESS
I think we all know the answer.
I can’t believe you’re not going to make Bronty. It just seems wrong not to. At odds with what nature intends.
Aww too cute! Now Mr. Stegs has a friend!
Frickin’ hilarious. Not to mention way too cute for words.
Speaking of love, it looks like there might be a little something brewing between Mr Stegs and Trice? (maybe they knew each other in the way distant past, back in the stash?)
Too cute! :)
Those are super adorable…I must make them :)
hehe- I love the one of you two nose to nose. :)
I can’t stand how CUTE they are!
Ooooh – the cuteness of handknit dinosaurs is irresistible. I think I’m going to make the whole herd (gaggle? pod? flock?)
Those little dinos are so cute I can hardly stand it! 5 hours of knitting time and you get orange cuteness, I love it!
The horns! I love it! You’ve been quite the busy knitter, and with brilliant results.
Ah, the cutest ever! a little chubby never hurt anyone.
I love those! I made Mr. Stegs last summer. So fun!
