A Crochet Baby Dinosaur Christmas Jumper is too cute only to wear for Christmas.

Whilst a Dinosaur with a Santa Hat might be irresistible during the festive season, you might want to extend its appeal by removing the Santa Hat afterwards. After all a Dinosaur is not just for Christmas.

The Hat is removable! A Dinosaur is not just for Christmas, why not attach your Hat using snaps and remove when you want to mix things up.

The Santa Saurus Jumper is worked bottom up, front and back seamed. Drop shoulder construction with faux button plackets at neck (using snaps to close for easy dressing).

Cuffs and hems are added at the end.

Sewing on small pieces is best achieved using sewing thread and needle, white all-purpose sewing thread is great for this project.
