Why You'll Love This Spaghetti Dinosaur Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it combines a classic amigurumi construction with a whimsical scene — a dinosaur eating spaghetti — that brings a smile every time. I enjoy how the simple rounds build up into a character with personality using only basic stitches. The little bowl and noodles add playful detail and make the finished piece more interactive. I also love that you can change colors and make this dinosaur uniquely yours with small customizations.

Switch Things Up

I love customizing this pattern by changing the colors to make different personalities; try pastel greens for a softer look or bold neons for a playful variant.

I often make the bowl in a neutral color and then contrast the noodles with bright yellow or mustard to make them pop.

If I want a mini keychain version I use thinner yarn and a smaller hook to scale the project down and attach a keyring.

To create a larger, cuddlier dinosaur I switch to a bulkier yarn and bigger hook and add more stuffing for a plush feel.

I sometimes add wire inside the tail or limbs for posability so the dinosaur can hold the bowl or be posed on a shelf.

For more personality I embroider different eye shapes or add felt eyelids, which instantly changes the character's expression.

I also like to make themed versions — try autumn tones and a tiny scarf for seasonal displays or holiday colorways for gifts.

To make the noodles extra textured I experiment with different chain lengths and stitch types, or use boucle yarn for a more playful effect.

I often attach tiny accessories like a mini spoon or a felt napkin to create a little scene and make the toy more interactive.

Don't be afraid to mix yarn fibers; a cotton blend gives a neat stitch definition while acrylic makes the toy easier to wash and care for.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping stitch markers while working in continuous rounds can lead to losing the start of the round; place a marker at the beginning of each round to keep track. ✗ Understuffing parts like the head and body results in a floppy shape; stuff gradually and firmly to achieve a round, stable form. ✗ Forgetting to straighten and fold the layered pieces (like lips, sleeves, legs) before finishing will make sewing difficult; follow the instructions to dip an awl through both layers and align them before finishing. ✗ Not counting stitches after increases and decreases causes uneven shaping; count stitches at the end of each round and correct mistakes immediately. ✗ Pulling yarn too tight when changing colors can pucker the fabric; keep an even tension and weave color joins neatly on the inside. ✗ Leaving very short tails when finishing makes sewing pieces together harder; leave a long thread end when instructed to sew parts securely.

Assembly Instructions

  • Sew top of 1 sc '6 times' between the eyes at rounds 14-15 so there are 8 sc between them to form the mouth area.
  • Attach and sew the tail to the back of the body in the designated tail opening, aligning and securing the long thread end.
  • Sew the sleeves (arms) to both sides of the body between rounds 30-33, positioning them symmetrically and sewing firmly.
  • Sew the legs to both sides of the body between rounds 55-59, spacing evenly to allow the toy to sit stably.
  • Sew the dinosaur back spikes piece to the body and tail ends using the long thread ends, aligning spikes along the center back.

Important Notes

  • 💡Use stitch markers to keep track of rounds and the beginning of each round for accurate shaping and count.
  • 💡Stuff parts firmly but gradually for smooth shaping and to avoid lumps, especially the head, body and legs.
  • 💡Leave long thread ends when instructed so you have enough yarn to sew pieces securely and hide the join.
  • 💡Straighten and fold layered pieces (lips, sleeves, legs) and dip an awl through layers before finishing for a clean edge.
  • 💡Work with consistent tension throughout to ensure matching sizes for paired pieces like arms and legs.
