Dippy the Diplodocus was originally designed for TOFT’s first ever workshop at London’s Natural History Museum back in 2016, and now he is a firm favourite in Kerry Lord’s menagerie of dinosaurs. This woolly version of the extinct dinosaur is much smaller and more cuddly than its prehistoric counterpart, which is one of the best-known dinosaurs due to the huge amount of fossils that have been found across the world.

TOFT’s Edward’s Menagerie collection is a series of crochet amigurumi toys designed by Kerry Lord. This crochet animal kit contains TOFT’s quality pure wool yarn and an easy-to-follow downloadable pattern. There are video links for all the crochet stitches and techniques used in the pattern to get you started and help you complete your toy.
