What’s with the T-Rex song title? Because I finished my own little T-Rex!
He is knit from Rebecca Danger’s Terrence the Tap Dancing T-Rex pattern. I used a skein of Blue Moon Fiber Arts Socks That Rock in the “Lucky” colorway, on a U.S. size 2 needle.
Just a couple of mods — I elected not to knit the striped chest piece because the yarn I used has a bit of a striping pattern in it.
After the body was half done, I knit the tail, rather than wait until after the body was complete and stuffed. I also knit the arms and legs at this point. Once the tail was done, I stuffed it and attached the legs to the body, and started stuffing the body. Once the body was complete, I sewed on the arms before finishing stuffing the body. Then, on to the head, stuffing the head, and embroidering on the face. That’s it!
This is intended as a baby gift for a baby boy due any time now.
And now I am knitting a bunny for the baby’s big sister. This one. It should be complete by my next blog post.

“I like bunnies.”
i think Loki deserves a knitted bunny just for looking so handsome.
LOL with the light behind him he could almost be a white bunny if his ears were a bit longer. I had to go to youtube and plan the song! Here you go https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVEhDrJzM8E
A lady in our shawl group had knit a stegosaurus for her grandson. I passed around the picture of your T-Rex and everyone got a kick out of his smile and floppy lil legs!
Love the T-Rex! 2 adorable and of course, love LOKI – soooo fluffah!
One adorable T-Rex and one very lucky little boy!

I LOVE knitting toys but I hate the sewing on part! I might have to knit those bunnies for my kids for Easter!
Your T-Rex is adorable! Loki needs his own bunny!
I love T-Rex the group and I love T-Rex the toy! Also, I love the kitty cat.
Oh so cute! And Loki too.
You’d better knit the baby bunny for Loki, or he might not forgive you. He’s SUCH a gorgeous cat!
That’s great. Hope Loki doesn’t bite his head off!
Tis’ too cute for words!!!
Loki sez: “Would I look like a bunny if I had longer ears?” Hey, Fofo beat me to it!
Yes, Loki needs his own little bunny, stuffed with CATNIP! Which he will love & play with & NOM NOM NOM. Ahem. Maybe his bunny should be knit of the yarn spun from his own floof? I love Rebecca Danger’s little monsters & the T-Rex. Just adorable.

Having met SUE the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago’s downtown, many times, I must say I like your dino better! Sue would fall in love with yours

That’s really cute. Unfortunately, I only know people who are having little girls. What did you stuff the dinosaur with? I’m working on a bunny of my own, and I’m stalled at that point with all its limbs just all over the place.
I like that little T-Rex. I knit one of Rebecca Danger’s patterns, Sherman the Square Dancing Stegosaurus -http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/sherman-the-square-dancing-stegosaurus – it turned out great. I think her patterns are pretty well written and fun. I like the names a lot! I think that new little baby boy will love that little T-Rex! The color is great.
