It is the second to last day of the Little Dinos Summer 2024 Mini Amigurumi Crochet Along. Today is Day 11 of 12. Today's little dino is an Ankylosaurus.
The Ankylosaurus is a little armored dinosaur with a tiny clubbed tail. It is made using the same basic body pattern as the triceratops, with the exception of the club at the end of the tail. Then it has armor on its back and horns on its face.
Not surprising I know, but I used the same pastel multipack of mini Red Heart Super Saver that I have used for all of the dinosaurs. And for this one, just like with the triceratops I used 3 different colors, the main color for the body, a contrasting color for the armored back, and then I chose to use white for the little horns and accents/spikes on its armor. For the main color of the body I used the Frosty Green, for the contrasting color I used Pale Plum, and for the horns/accents I used Soft White.
Only 1 more dinosaur to go, be sure to come back tomorrow to see the final dinosaur in the set.
