Tyrannosaurus

The “king tyrant lizard” of the dinosaurs has never been so cuddly! If only its arms were long enough for a hug. This massive carnivore roamed the earth during the Cretaceous period, sharing the landscape with Triceratops and Velociraptor. The largest T.rex skull found measured about 5 feet in length, leaving plenty of room for its 12-inch (30cm)-long teeth (described by one paleontologist as “lethal bananas”)! **Materials & Tools** * Bulky-weight yarn in dark red (225 yds/206m), tan (150 yds/138m), ivory (10 yds/10m) and black (10 yds/10m) * Hook size H (5mm) or I (5.5mm) * Tapestry needle * Scissors * Large straight or marking pins * Polyester fiberfill * (2) 12mm plastic safety eyes * Stitch markers / safety pins * ***Optional:*** 18-in.
