No collection of dinosaurs would be complete without the awe-inspiring Tyrannosaurus, am I right? This "tyrant lizard" terrorized its Cretaceous comrades and outlasted most of them, being among the last dinosaurs living before that fateful day when an enormous asteroid came catapulting toward Earth and wiped out three-quarters of the planet's plant and animal life. Poor Rexy.
Arguably the most famous dinosaur of all, Tyrannosaurus Rex may have been a little lacking in the arm department, but he compensated with a big toothy grin that would win your heart (and then devour it).
A simple center-out, crescent-shaped shawl of seed stitch mimics the rough hide and is finished off with short-rows and a pattern of eyelets that form that brilliant smile.

And that completes our Parade of Dinosaurs! Do you have a favorite? I know, who could choose! It'd probably be best to just go ahead and get all eight patterns, right? Pick up the individual dinoshawl patterns or all of them in one e-book, also available for purchase through Ravelry.
This Tyrannosaurus Shawl is absolutely stunning! The seed stitch really captures the rough hide, and the eyelets at the end add such a cool touch, just like the T-Rex’s toothy grin. As someone working on my Master Dissertation and i need Master Dissertation Help, I can totally appreciate the time and effort that must’ve gone into perfecting this design—such a great project to work on during breaks. Can’t wait to try it out!
