I mean…it’s a dino sweater. What more is there to say? Why should kids get all the fun clothes?

Updated August 2023 - Dynomini is released so you and your favorite kiddo can match!

Front and Back pieces are knit flat from the bottom up. After seaming the shoulders, set-in Sleeves are worked flat from the top down, and begin by picking up stitches around the armhole. The Sleeve caps are shaped using short-rows. Decorative ridges adorn one side of ribbed edges.

The dinosaur motif is charted separately for each size, and is very clearly laid out.

Pattern updated August of 2023 to show an awesome version made in Tosh DK! The beauty of Tosh’s hand dyed yarn really enhances the sweater.
