Food and animals are my two favorite things so it just makes sense to put them together. This amigurumi crochet pattern is part dinosaur and part banana split ice cream sundae. He is made with soft and snuggly chenille yarn and he is a very good size. The pattern uses primarily half double crochet stitches instead of single crochet stitches so it actually works up more quickly than you think!
