Dino Safety Blanket (Crochet)

I've been crocheting for maybe three months and finished this whole dino blanket in a weekend — the US terms are labeled right at the top so I never had to guess. The spike stitches along the back are the cutest part.

I've only been crocheting a couple months and this was my first real project — the pattern is written in plain US terms so I never got lost. My nephew drags the finished dino everywhere now, it's already his favorite thing to sleep with.

Took me a weekend to finish but the stitch counts came out right and it actually looks like the photo. Only gripe is there's no chart, just written rows, so I had to keep my phone awake the whole time. Still, a solid first amigurumi-style project for a beginner.
