A free crochet dinosaur pattern for a tiny keychain dino with a round grass-green body and a cream belly. This amigurumi dinosaur has a row of orange back spikes, a curled tail, little arms, pink cheeks and a chain loop on top to clip onto a bag or keys. It is worked in the round in single crochet with fingering yarn and a 2 mm hook, with embroidered eyes and a smile, and stands about 7.5 cm (3 in) tall with the loop. Follow it row by row with stitch counts and turn the interactive 3D model to see where the spikes, tail and arms are sewn.

1 sc ≈ 3 mm wide, 1 round ≈ 2.7 mm tall (10 cm ≈ 33 sc × 37 rounds); yarn about 1.4 mm thick. The gauge sets the size of the toy; crochet tightly so the stuffing does not show.
Continuous spiral rounds. Don't join. Move a stitch marker up every round.
The whole face is embroidered. Order: the eyes (black satin), then the white glints over them, then the nose and mouth, blush last. Mark the centres with pins first and compare with the picture. Bring thread ends out where a sewn-on piece will cover them, or bury them in the stuffing.
