Plesiosaurus (Dinosaur)

An original crochet amigurumi Plesiosaurus pattern from the dinosaur range by June Gilbank. *Plesiosaurus was a member of the Plesiosaur family. (Plesiosaurs aren't actually true dinosaurs, but aquatic reptiles that lived in the same time period.) Plesiosaurus was about 8 ft long, and had an extremely long neck, a small head, wide body, and four long, paddle-like flippers. It lived in the sea and fed on fish and cephalopods. It lived through the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. Fun fact: some people believe that Nessie, the mythical Loch Ness monster, could be a surviving plesiosaur!* **Yarn:** worsted weight yarn (the plesiosaurus pictured uses Lion Brand Vanna's Choice yarn) **Hook:** US E / 3.5mm **Size:** approx 11" long **Eyes:** 10mm Plesiosaurus is also available as part of [Dinosaurs Set 2][1] - save money when you buy the complete set! *** > ***Please join us*** *in the [PlanetJune crochet designs > group](http://www.ravelry.com/groups/planetjune-crochet-designs) > - you can get pattern support, join crochet-alongs, show off your FOs, > suggest new designs, and chat.
