Switch Things Up

I love customizing these triceratops by changing yarn colors—try pastel tones for a soft nursery friend or bold greens for a classic dinosaur look.

I often switch yarn weight and hooks to create different sizes; a thicker yarn and larger hook will give a chunky, cuddle-ready version.

I add accessories like tiny bows, bows ties, or small crowns in contrasting colors to give each character personality and make them gift-ready.

You can embroider different facial expressions by varying eyebrow placement or mouth shape to change the toy's mood and charm.

I sometimes replace safety eyes with hand embroidery for a more child-safe version suitable for babies, especially when selling to parents.

Try adding removable clothing or tiny felt props — a tiny scarf, a detachable crown, or a little bag looks adorable and extends play value.

I also like to experiment with textured stitches or a fuzzy yarn for a slightly shaggy appearance that gives a vintage toy feel.

If I want posable limbs, I add thin wire inside the arms and legs before stuffing and closing, so the toy can sit or pose more naturally.

I recommend changing the claw color or using small beads for claws to add subtle contrast and more visual detail to the feet and hands.

Finally, I photograph multiple colorways together to showcase variety, which inspires new combinations and makes great product listings or gifts.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping stitch markers during increases and decreases makes counting rounds difficult; use a marker at the start of each round and move it as you work to keep accurate counts. ✗ Not stuffing gradually leads to lumps and uneven shaping; add small amounts of stuffing as you go and shape with your fingers to maintain a smooth surface. ✗ Placing safety eyes without accounting for increases causes crooked placement; place eyes between the specified rounds and check the increase rows so they remain centered. ✗ Sewing parts in the wrong order can make assembly awkward and messy; follow the assembly order and pin pieces in place to check positioning before stitching. ✗ Using the wrong hook size changes the doll proportions significantly; use the recommended 2.0mm and 3.0mm hooks for the intended scale and fabric density.

Info :

After embroidering the spaghetti straps, place the dress on the hippopotamus, see the best position and distance of the straps. Take off the hippopotamus dress and place the ends of the straps inside the dress, position them and leave a space between one and the other, then with a tapestry needle sew a few stitches taking the strap and the dress (this seam is used to secure the strap and it doesn't leave the place, but if you want, you can add buttons).

Assembly Instructions

  • Sew the horns to the head between rows 6 and 10 using a tapestry needle and matching thread, positioning symmetrically on the crown of the head.
  • Attach the snout horn centered between the eyes and sew between rows 19 and 24, pinning first to ensure it does not move out of place.
  • Sew the crown to the head between rows 1 and 18, leaving a distance of approximately 7 single crochet stitches on each side of the eyes for balanced placement.
  • Fasten the legs to the bottom of the body after closing the leg openings; place them slightly forward as recommended and secure firmly with a tapestry needle.
  • Fold each arm in half, close as instructed and sew the arms to the body at the chosen placement, using a larger thread for strength.
  • Sew the tail to the back of the body between rows 2 and 18 and stuff lightly to maintain a smooth shape.

Important Notes

  • 💡Use stitch markers to mark the beginning of each round, especially during increases and decreases to maintain correct stitch counts.
  • 💡Stuff gradually and test shape frequently; avoid overstuffing the thigh area of the legs to keep that section flatter as instructed.
  • 💡When placing safety eyes, follow the recommended rows and spacing to avoid crooked placement—double-check increases and center points.
