This “three-horned face” dinosaur from the Cretaceous period sports a large, bony frill and three impressive horns on its head and face. Fortunately for us, the crochet version is soft and cuddly, albeit a bit fussy with so many pointy facial details to sew on! It was a contemporary to Tyrannosaurus, so it’s certain those long horns came in handy.
