I made this for my little future palaeontologist, Rachael, whose favourite dinosaur is the triceratops. I was looking for a dinosaur blanket pattern, and loved this one when I saw it! The pattern is very easy to follow, and the squares grow quickly. Sewing on all the dino faces is a bit fiddly, but the result is worth it. I crocheted the border on rather than sewing it, as I think it looks neater. The paintbox wool mix yarn was nice to work with, but I worked out the quantities incorrectly at the beginning and had to keep buying more!
