The inspiration for this was my first son. He looooves Tiny from the book Tiny T. Rex and the impossible hug and we would read it maybe 100 times a day so I decided I’ll make him a Tiny! I went looking for the exact same colour yarn as Tiny and I finally found it online at Hobbii. I have linked the exact yarn I used below.
If you recreate Tiny, please tag me on instagram @khrochet. I would love to see your work.
